1957 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe

Cadillac's dramatically restyled cars for 1957 debuted at the New York Automobile Show, the first held since 1940. All of Cadillac's models were built on an X-type chassis frame which resulted in a significantly lower vehicle height – as much as three inches on some models. Of the 11 models offered in 1957, 7 were part of the Series 62; Cadillac's most popular. The forward-sloping fins lasted just one year and a totally new front-end design featured gullwing front bumper guards with black rubber protective tips that flanked a low, finely textured grille. This was the final year for single headlights on production Cadillacs. GM's luxury division sold a record 9,000 Series 62 convertibles for the model year.

Originally sold in Huntsville, Alabama, this car remained an Alabama car its entire life. The current owner rediscovered the car in a shed in 1994. The original MSRP was $5,293, and 1957 was the first year factory air conditioning could be ordered on a Cadillac convertible. The car contains a matching engine, chassis, and body numbers. A multi-year restoration (2,000 plus hours) was completed in 2019. Factory-installed options include air conditioning, a gold grille, power windows, a 6-way power seat, signal-seeking radio with a power antenna, and pie-crust whitewall tires. It is also equipped with power steering and booster-assisted power brakes.

This Cadillac Series 62 is finished in Alpine White over a red leather interior.
