This 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible was offered for sale at the 2007 RM Auctions held in Amelia Island, Florida where it was estimated to sell between $80,000 - $100,000. It is powered by a 331 cubic-inch overhead valve V8 engine capable of producing 250 horsepower. There is a three-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission and four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. This car was treated to a restoration in the early 2000s and finished in black with a new red and white two-tone interior.
At the auction, this car was sold, selling for $70,000. A few months later it was brought up to Meadow Brook where RM Auction was again tasked with selling the vehicle. This time the estimated value was set at $70,000 - $90,000. As the bidding concluded, a new owner was found. The car had been sold for $66,000.
The 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible was an exciting vehicle that was flashy and eye-catching. Harley Earl's tailfin-styled rear end was now incorporated into the Cadillac's. They complimented the vehicle's front end which featured a massive bumper with an egg crate grille and Dagmar bullets. There were simulated air intakes reminiscent of a P-38 Lightning fighter. Chrome could be found throughout the vehicle, not in excess, but rather as a complimentary design piece that flowed nicely with the rest of the vehicle and accented the curves and straight lines. The windshield was a wraparound design.
The HydraMatic automatic gearbox was now offered as standard equipment, along with an assortment of other items. They truly were a symbol of success and achievement.By Daniel Vaughan | Aug 2007
