Overview of 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette For Sale by Owner

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.

Exterior and Interior

Pour one out for the designer of this masterpiece. This 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette features a 2-inch chop shaved door hadles, and slanted B-pillars. Move to the front and you'll see the Frenched headlights, and a smoothed and peaked hood, while the body lines are clean and uninterrupted. In addition, chrome trim has been custom-fitted to the revised windows, enhancing the car's sleek profile without losing its Cadillac identity. The interior continues the bespoke theme with Cappuccino Cream Italian leather, Lincoln Mark III front seats, and a custom center console. The cabin is comfortable yet high-end, with air conditioning (powered by a Sanden compressor) and integrated creature comforts that elevate it far beyond a typical restomod. This is a cruiser built for long-haul luxury and show-stopping presence.

Engine

Power comes from a reportedly balanced and blueprinted 427ci V8 built on a 1973-dated 454 block. That's paired with a 396 crankshaft for the ideal stroke ratio. Then, there's the modern addition of Ramjet electronic fuel injection system, while power is sent through a 4L80E 4-speed automatic with a frame-mounted transmission cooler. Under the skin there's even a Fatman stub frame, air ride suspension with polished triangulated 4-bar, and narrowed 9" rear end combine to deliver both comfort and control. With power rack and pinion steering, 2" drop spindles, and 4-wheel disc brakes, “Jewell” handles far better than its vintage form would suggest.

The 2006 Cadillac XLR represents one of Cadillac’s most ambitious modern-era grand tourers, combining dramatic styling, an aluminum-intensive chassis, a power-retractable hardtop, and V8 performance in a two-seat roadster. Sharing its basic architecture with the contemporary Corvette but tuned around Cadillac’s luxury mission, the XLR was intended to compete with premium European retractable-hardtop GTs while showcasing technologies such as Magnetic Ride Control. Showing approximately 10,551 miles, this Black Raven example pairs its low-slung roadster profile with an Ebony cabin, Dark Eucalyptus wood trim, and a naturally aspirated 4.6L V8, making it a particularly appealing low-mileage example of Cadillac’s distinctive flagship convertible.

The Rear Seat Package and Driver Assist Package add another layer of comfort and technology, while features such as the Bose Panaray 34-speaker sound system, UltraView power sunroof, head-up display, and 12-inch reconfigurable gauge cluster reinforce its flagship character. Showing approximately 5,060 miles, this CT6-V stands out as a remarkably low-mileage example of Cadillac’s short-lived Blackwing-powered super sedan.

The 1982 Chevrolet Corvette marked the end of the C3 era, making it a fitting final chapter for one of the Corvette’s most recognizable generations. This example shows approximately 50,346 miles and pairs its 350ci L83 V8 with Cross-Fire electronic fuel injection and a 700R4 4-speed automatic transmission. Finished in silver with a dark gray lower accent over a light gray leather interior, it carries the unmistakable late-C3 look with removable glass T-tops, factory alloy wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and the model’s sculpted front and rear aero treatment. An aftermarket air conditioning system adds a useful modern touch to a car that still feels very much rooted in the early-1980s Corvette experience.

The 1984 Pontiac Fiero was a genuinely unusual American sports car when it arrived, combining a mid-engine layout, lightweight proportions, and distinctive wedge-shaped styling in a package unlike anything else in Pontiac’s lineup. This 1984 Pontiac Fiero SE shows just 17,333 miles and is equipped with the 2.5L Tech IV four-cylinder paired with a 4-speed manual transmission, giving it the more engaging drivetrain configuration for enthusiasts. Finished in red over a gray two-tone cloth interior, it also features a removable glass sunroof, rear decklid spoiler, and aftermarket 5-spoke wheels, making it a compelling example of Pontiac’s ambitious mid-engine experiment.

The 1972 Chevrolet Monte Carlo was built as Chevrolet’s personal-luxury coupe, but this example leans much harder into the muscle-car side of that formula. Showing approximately 69,681 miles, it has been upgraded with a 350ci BluePrint V8, 4-barrel carburetor, Turbo 350 3-speed automatic, aftermarket headers, and an aftermarket exhaust system. Power steering, power disc brakes, upgraded suspension components, and factory air conditioning make the package far more usable than a stripped-down street build, while Rally wheels, raised-white-letter tires, and a black vinyl top preserve the period look enthusiasts expect from an early Monte Carlo.
