1953 Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado Special Sport Convertible Coupe

  • Chassis Number: 536268308
After observing its golden anniversary in 1952, Cadillac issued a flashy limited-edition convertible, the 1953 Series 62 Eldorado. It boasted features like a custom interior, a special cut-down 'Panoramic' wraparound windshield, a sporty 'notched' beltline, and a metal lid instead of canvas boot to cover the lowered top.

The Eldorado was a preview of Cadillac's to come, but only 532 of the 1953s were built, largely because the price was a towering $7,750. Production of the car was so labor intensive, that even at this hefty price, it was believed to be unprofitable. It was virtually hand built in Warren Michigan.

The car came loaded with standard equipment including a 331 cubic inch engine with 210 horsepower, power steering, windows, seats and top, as well as a power radio antenna. It also had a signal-seeking pre-selection radio with a floor-mounted tuning button. Optional items included power brakes, tinted glass, and autronic eye.
