1947 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe

  • Designed by Harley Earl
  • Chassis Number: A8454487
  • Engine Number: 8454487
  • Body Number: 54407
This Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is from the Malcolm Pray collection. It has received a body-off restoration which was completed in the late 1980s. In 1989, with owner Doug Ronning, it won a First Place in the Primary division at the Pennsylvania Grand Classic, scoring 99.5 points and being awarded badge number 1418. In 1990, it won in the Senior division at a New Jersey Grand Classic, scoring 99.5 points, and in 1992, it won again in the Premier division at a Pennsylvania Grand Classic, scoring 99 points. Ronning sold the car in 1992 to John McMullen, and it was acquired from him by Mr. Pray in the mid-1990s.

Since the restoration was completed, the car has been driven just 493 miles. The body is finished in the original color of Madeira Maroon, with matching leather, tan whipcord door panels, and a tan canvas top with a matching cover. Special equipment found on the car includes the Hydra-Matic transmission, a spotlight, dual side mirrors, a dashboard clock, a radio, a heater, and a power top. The wheels are covered by 'sombrero' hubcaps and ride on authentic Firestone wide whitewalls.
