1949 Cadillac Series 62

1949 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible - Beautiful AZ Car - 56k Miles - Must See!

This 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is in excellent condition, both inside and out. It appears to have been very well maintained throughout its life, receiving only a light cosmetic restoration and showing just 56K miles, which are believed to be original. We acquired this car from a gentleman's estate in Lake Havasu, AZ. He purchased the car over 20 years ago at a Barrett-Jackson auction in the same condition you see it today. These '49 Cadillacs are highly desirable due to their new OHC V8 engine and are hard to find in such wonderful condition. Driving a well-preserved vintage Cadillac is an unparalleled experience—they truly drive like a dream.

It's finished in stunning black with beautiful chrome and a new saddle canvas top. The red leather interior is also in excellent condition and seems to be mostly original or was restored using exact OEM leather hides. In either case, it has been very well cared for and stored properly. All the chrome and trim inside, including the dash and a flawless steering wheel, are in beautiful condition. The more you look at the car, the more signs of originality you find, supporting the low mileage it displays.

Mechanically, this car runs and drives beautifully, cruising down the road as if on a cloud. After being in long-term storage, we went through the entire fuel system, gave it a full tune-up, and rebuilt the hydraulic system for the power top and windows. The car has a great unique look that really makes it stand out, with a slightly lowered suspension and sitting on a set of polished American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels. Overall, this is an awesome car and a very fun driver. Don't wait, as it won't last long, and finding another like it would be difficult!
