1958 Cadillac Series 62

Description

We know why you stopped to look at this 1958 Cadillac Series 62 coupe, and it's the same reason plenty of folks will stop and stare you when you're driving it. Everybody thinks 1950s Cadillacs are cool. Of course, when you can pick up an amazing V8 coupe bathed chrome for such an affordable price, you wonder about the catch. But as you read about everything from the numbers-matching V8 to the A/C interior, you'll realize this complete Caddy only gets better the more you look.

We treat a classic Cadillac like a gem, and so it seems only fitting that this one would look like an emerald in its factory-correct Regent Green. This is an intricate design, and so we know you're inspecting the pictures for quality. And this one only shows signs of being treated with respect all its life (that's what you get when one of these coupes costs as much new as two Impala hardtops!) We know you are looking at all the detail pictures to make sure all that intricate chrome trim is in place. In fact, those iconic bumpers were even re-dipped later in life to make sure they retain an attention-grabbing shine. And the rest of this car is complete, all the way down to the jet-inspired taillights. Speaking of the rear section, no one did it better than Cadillac in the '50s. This is pure art on wheels from the sharply-pointed tailfins to the style line that starts at the door and doesn't end until the taillight.

Inside the sea of beautiful green continues. This looks quite accurate, right down to the button-top presentation on the seats. But as you dig deeper, you're going to discover that the multi-tone green was accurately replaced later in life in key areas. The carpeting, headliner, and seats have all been refreshed to make this a nice place to spend so time. The dash is a dazzling chrome instrument panel that will remind you of a Wurlitzer jukebox. And all that interior brightwork makes you want to crank up the Elvis and go for a cruise. But the true key is that this vintage appearance has been upgraded in the right places. The radio looks retro, but it's an updated AM/FM digital tuner with cassette. And there's been modern R134a air conditioning installed. So yes, this is the cool classic that's ready to carry all your friends and family in comfort and style.

Cadillac's 365 cubic-inch motor fills this engine bay properly with big V8 power. It looks fantastically well presented with the blue block and valve covers hiding under the tidy black belts, hoses, and air grabber. The motor fires up with ease, which is true sign that this was well maintained. And the engine number even matches the body tag! With a four-barrel carburetor, this large hardtop coupe has the kind of legs to be peppy around town and cruise the highway with ease. And the dual exhaust has a nice rumble that reminds you of a classic American V8 without jeopardizing the Cadillac's luxury atmosphere. Plus, the smooth Hydramatic transmission and power brakes make this an effortless classic cruiser.

Complete with owner's manual, classic Cadillacs are a rare treat to possess. So when you can find one this well presented for such an obtainable price, then you know it will be going fast. Call today!!!
