The 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Club Coupe, also known as the Sedanette, first appeared in 1941 and sold as a 1942 model. Many other marques and divisions copied this beautiful design with its jet aged inspired swooping rear end. This fastback style was Cadillac's best-selling two-door model with 7,245 examples being produced.
The Torpedo-bodied Series 62 were popular with the racing community who readily adapted performance modification to the already potent 346 cubic-inch 8-cylinder engine. The price tag of $2446 meant that it was affordable for most households. The two doors gave the vehicle a sporty appeal but the roomy interior meant it was versatile, capable of carrying passengers in comfort.
The Series 62 sat atop a wheelbase that had a length of 220 inches, which was five inches longer than the Series 61 and four less than the Fleetwood Sixty Special. The Series 62 was the middle of the line in the Cadillac lineup and their high-volume performer.
The Cadillac Sedanettes can trace their history and heritage back to the Cadillac Aerodynamic Coupes shown at the 1933 Chicago Century of Progress world's fair.
This vehicle is powered by a V8 Cadillac engine that displaces 425 cubic inches and produces 180 horsepower. There is a GM Turbo-Hydramatic 400 automatic transmission and a 129-inch wheelbase. There are front-wheel disc brakes, air conditioning, cruise control, radial tires, and a Kenwood sound system. All of these options were fitted at a later date and not original to the vehicle.
This 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette was offered for sale at the 2007 Monterey Sports & Classic Car Auction presented by RM Auctions, where it had an estimated value of $90,000 - $110,000. It was offered without reserve. It left the auction under new ownership, having been sold for $51,700 including buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | May 2009
