    1946 Cadillac Series 62The 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 including 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, blue painted dash and three-spoke steering wheel. Amenities include power windows, 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 buyer's premium.
