Cadillac resumed civilian automobile production in October of 1945. The cars of the post-War era benefited from the company's considerable wartime experience, which included the production of some 12,0000 M-5 light tanks and motorized gun carriers. The Cadillac V8 engines had the same displacement and horsepower ratings as their prewar counterparts. Many of the internal parts were improved for greater strength and reliability, thanks in part to the knowledge gained during wartime. Another wartime improvement was the Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
This car has been given a body-on-frame restoration to factory-original specifications. The hydraulic cylinders for both the power-operated convertible top and windows have been replaced.
In 2010, this Series 62 was offered for sale at RM Auctions 'Automobiles of Amelia Island' sale in Amelia Island, Florida. The car was estimated to sell for $60,000 - $80,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car has been sold for the sum of $49,500, inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2010
