1956 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille

This restored 1956 Coupe de Ville was originally purchased by the current owner's grandmother on March 19, 1956. It was bought at S. Rund Motors in Detroit, Michigan for $4,700 cash. When the current owner first saw the new Cadillac, it was love at first sight and the car was saved for him. Over the years, a complete restoration of the 21,000-mile Coupe de Ville was completed The 1956 Cadillacs continued with the very successful styling introduced in 1954. Minor revisions included a new grille with a finer textured insert (in standard satin or optional gold), repositioned parking lamps, and 'speed lines' along the lower rear fenders. The Coupe de Ville was now the best-selling Cadillac model, although the new-for-1956 Sedan de Ville four-door hardtop was also very popular. Cadillac's V8 engine was boosted to 365 cubic inches and a smoother-shifting 4-speed Hydra-Matic was also featured.
