The Cadillac Series 62, even though it remained largely unchanged from the prewar 1942 models, was an ultra-modern vehicle and very successful in the immediate post-war era. The interior was luxurious and the pricing was considered quite reasonable, resulting in it becoming Cadillac's best-selling model.
Slight changes occurred for the 1946 model year; the grille and front parking lamps were slightly altered, the dashboard was mildly changed, and wrap-around bumpers were added. Optional equipment included the 346 cubic-inch V8 engine with dual downdraft carburetors, and the Hydra-Matic automatic transmission - both of these options were installed on this particular Convertible Coupe. It is an unrestored, mostly original car with a single repaint in light blue. There is a power-operated tan convertible top, and blue-painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, trim rings, and period-correct whitewall tires. The interior is blue leather upholstery with blue carpeting, a blue painted dash, and a three-spoke steering wheel. Amenities include power windows, a power front seat and a heater, and a pushbutton-operated radio.
In 2009, this Cadillac Series 62 was offered for sale at the Automobiles of Arizona auction presented by RM Auctions. The lot was estimated to sell for $50,000 - $70,000 and was offered without a reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $48,400 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2009
