1942 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe
150hp 346 cu. in. L-head Eight with three main bearings, eight-cylinder engine, four-bbl carburetor, Twin-Turbine Variable Pitch DynaFlow automatic transmission, four-wheel leaf springs and four-wheel drum brakes. Wheelbase: 129"
This older restored Cadillac still catches everyone’s attention despite the slight patina it now bears. Its red paint and black convertible top are a stunning combination. Although some minor pitting can be found on its classic egg crate grille, the chrome bumpers and trim are excellent. Inside the contrasting navy blue leather seats and panels show minimal wear, as do the rich-looking dark blue carpets.
Because this rare Cadillac was popular as a “wedding” car it has been fitted with a modern sound system that operates from a separate, hidden 12 volt system. If so desired, this can easily be removed, as it in no way compromised this 62’s original six volt electrical system as no modifications were necessary. The vendor reports the engine runs well and requires only fresh detailing, not servicing. For future concours events this rare open Cadillac likely requires only minor cosmetic restoration.
A total of 4,961 Series 62 Cadillacs were built before the start of World War II halted production. Cadillac V8 engines, like the one found in the Series 62, would eventually be fitted in the Patton tanks. Very few Series 62 convertibles such as we have offered here today were built.
