Exterior and Interior
The Cadillac Series 62 had to represent the golden years to come after the war. Its long swooping Forties body lines would look appropriate way ahead of its time. This 1949 Cadillac Series 62 is finished off in a black exterior. The vehicle rides on a set of factory hubcaps which are wrapped around a set of whitewall tires. Pop the boot, and you will also find the 5th whitewall tire with the original hubcap in place. Like the car's exterior, the gray interior is in original condition, with all its components intact and looking shiny and new. The current owner reports that the driver's seat has been recently upholstered.
Engine
The post-WWII period was difficult, and manufacturers had a tough time perfecting a vehicle fit for civilians after focusing much of their energies on military machinery. Cadillac, however, had pushed the industry forward with their all-new overhead valve V8 engine. This 1949 Cadillac Series 62 sports that iconic 5.7 L V8 engine in all its glory. While robust for its time, the engine was renowned worldwide for being smooth and quiet with the folks over at Motor Trend baffled as to how quiet the engine was. Power is sent to the car's rear wheels through a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic gearbox.
