When purchasing a car, one always looks at reviews and thoughts of automotive journalists. The popular automotive magazine Motor Trend indeed comes to mind when evaluating a vehicle. Chances are, if the car you are searching for is the Motor Trend’s Car Of The Year, it’s definitely something. The Cadillac Series 62 was their first-ever Car Of The Year. Present here in all its glory is a beautiful example of a 1949 Cadillac Series 62. Located in California and with a reported 42,000 miles on the clock, which is said to be the car's original mileage by the current owner. This Cadillac boasts originality and is one car that's undoubtedly set to rise in value in a few years and, better yet a classic that you can enjoy as well.
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.
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.

Cadillac’s flamboyant Series 62 is a fine way to make a statement if you want to be seen driving around in a true-blue American classic. With that in mind, why not pick up this glorious yellow 1962 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible from La Pine, Oregon today? It’s got a nice white interior, a 390ci V8 under the hood, and a 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission too. Furthermore, we’re told that this 12,649-mile Caddy comes with the original owners manuals included in the sale, and if you haven’t already gleaned from our photos, it’s a drop-top too!
The 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe stands as one of the most elegant pre-war American automobiles, combining refined styling with mechanical innovation that set Cadillac apart as General Motors’ luxury leader. Offered from Wichita, Kansas, this example has covered just 65,015 miles and presents as a rare opportunity to acquire a landmark model from Cadillac’s golden age.
Nicknamed the “Jewell,” this incredible 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette is far more than just a cruiser. It’s a fully customized, professionally built showpiece, blending timeless American fastback styling with modern engineering and bespoke craftsmanship. Or, in other words, the perfect restomod. From its subtly aggressive 2-inch chopped roofline to the reportedly hand-finished Dupont Meadow Green paintwork, nearly every surface has been touched in this elegant transformation. Under the hood lies a balanced and blueprinted 427ci V8, while the body retains a smooth, understated presence thanks to carefully frenched and shaved elements.
Of The Town. That’s what de Ville means, and Caddy intended for their model to become the talk of the town. Produced across eight generations from 1959 to 2005, today’s 1966 Cadillac Coupe de Ville is a nice fifth-generation example. It’s a definite American classic in all its green on green glory, and it packs a nicely grunty 429ci V8 up front to move it along the roads and keep pace even with today’s EVs and hybrids. Having reportedly covered just 80,000 miles, this car is now up for grabs in Huntington Beach, Florida.
In the Two Thousands, Cadillac was going through a time of change. They were shedding their twentieth-century persona of soft luxury, and going a little more angular, performative and, whisper it, exciting to drive. Today, we’ve got a prime example of their crack at the grand tourer segment with this silver 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Coupe from Cortlandt Manor, New York. This super low mileage car has just under 9,000 on the odometer, a nice black interior, and a powerful 6.2-liter V8 under the hood. It’s from the second generation of the CTS and rocks a manual gearbox too. Now that’s bound to get petrolheads interested!
This 2004 Cadillac XLR is one of just 15,460 cars that showed Americans what would result if Cadillac made a modern grand tourer. Sitting on a Corvette platform and featuring a power retractable hardtop, this Black Raven example is one of just 3,665 XLRs sold in 2004. It’s got 41,675 miles on the clock, three keys and the original owner’s manual. But what’s more, this Estero, Florida-based Caddy also comes with some custom made wall art included in the sale, we’re told. If this car interests you, you’d better act quickly because as time goes by, the XLR will be recognized as a future classic, and then, everyone will want one.
