Life in America in the early fifties was a prosperous time. World War II had ended, and demand for all products was seemingly insatiable, especially for automobiles. This period of economic expansion spawned some of the most exciting times of automotive excess the world had ever seen. GM played its part with its traveling Motorama, which was a no-holds-barred display of technology and stunning styling. GM's luxury brand was the Cadillac, and they were given flashy styling and high performance.
The Cadillac cars were young and exciting and helped the company displace Packard as the leader in the fine car market. 1952 would be an especially important year for Cadillac, as it marked the luxury car company's 50th anniversary. In commemoration of their golden anniversary, the 1952 Series 62 models were fitted with a golden vee beneath the Cadillac emblem on the hood. Many other minor updates were added to freshen up the new cars, however, the big news was under the hood - horsepower had risen by 30 BHP over 1951. This made the 1952 Cadillac the most powerful car in America.
To help the Cadillac retain its edge over the competition, they were given a host of options as standard equipment, including self-winding clocks, dual-range Hydra-Matic drive, glare-proof mirrors, upgraded directional turn signals, stannate treated pistons, and four-barrel carburetion. Hydraulic power windows were standard equipment on the Series 62 Convertible Coupe.
In this landmark year, another milestone was reached that of 13 million cars produced.
This Cadillac Coupe is finished in dark metallic green with a two-tone green vinyl interior. The current owners acquired the car in May 2014. It was given new wire wheels and whitewall tires, the front seats were re-upholstered, the chrome bumpers were renewed, front and rear, and the brakes and suspension were fully serviced.
In May 2016, it was brought to the Central Pennsylvania Cadillac LaSalle Club where it was voted by its peers as Best in Show.
The car is powered by a 331 cubic-inch, overhead valve V8 engine fitted with a single four-barrel Carter carburetor. The 190-horsepower engine is mated to a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. At all four corners are hydraulic drum brakes.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2017
