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.

Showing approximately 27,428 miles, this example stands out with its rich maroon finish paired with a beautifully coordinated tan leather interior and matching convertible soft top.

There are fast wagons, there are rare wagons, and then there's the Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon. When Cadillac unleashed this outrageous creation for the 2011 model year, it proved that American performance engineering could go toe-to-toe with Europe's finest without abandoning its muscle car roots. Take a practical five-door luxury wagon, stuff a 556-horsepower supercharged V8 under the hood, send all that power to the rear wheels, and, most importantly, give the driver a proper six-speed manual transmission. The result? One of the most outrageous and enthusiast-oriented vehicles Cadillac has ever produced. Today, the CTS-V Wagon has earned a devoted following among collectors, particularly examples equipped with the increasingly elusive manual gearbox. This 2011 Cadillac CTS-V Sport Wagon, showing just 24,659 miles, is finished in sophisticated White Diamond Tricoat over a Light Titanium leather and microsuede interior.

In an automotive world where manual transmissions and supercharged V8s are becoming increasingly scarce, the CTS-V Sport Wagon stands as a glorious reminder of an era when Cadillac's engineers were given the freedom to build something truly extraordinary.
