Cadillac has proclaimed itself as “the standard of the world,” and when cars like this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille come along, it’s not hard to see why. The elegantly designed Series 62 Coupe DeVille featured a restrained yet oh-so-sophisticated appearance that appealed to the well-heeled clientele that Cadillac was courting. In fact, the DeVille trim was the higher-end option package for the Series 62 Coupe. In post-war America, a Cadillac was the car you’d want to be seen in. It won Motortrend’s first-ever Car of The Year award back in 1949, with journalists praising it for its technological superiority over the competition. It featured a 331ci V8 engine that was lighter, had increased power, and displayed better fuel economy. Our featured car's engine was rebuilt less than 1,000 miles ago for many more miles of driving pleasure.
The 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille features a sophisticated exterior that does all the right things for lovers of classic American cars. This was a true luxury coupe, and features a deep maroon paint job that matches this car’s personality to the letter. There’s plenty of chrome trim elements along the side, and you’ll also find white-wall tires for that period aesthetic. There’s also Cadillac’s signature egg-crate grille at the front. Inside, you'll find the car’s original interior. There's a central speedometer flanked by gauges that read the fuel level, engine temperature, battery state, and oil pressure. Badges on the interior panels showcase the traditional “Body by Fisher, Interior by Fleetwood” motif, and the center features a period radio unit.
Under the hood is the 331ci V8 engine that has been recently rebuilt. With just 1,000 miles reportedly on the engine build, it features a Carter WCD 2-barrel carburetor. Power is sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission, while stopping power is courtesy of four-wheel hydraulic drum brakes. Up front, the car rides on independent coil spring suspension, with semi-floating live axle suspension and leaf springs at the back. Most importantly, our car is entirely original except for the rebuilt engine. The owner made sure to use as close to original components as possible when rebuilding it.

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.
One of the most famous classic Caddys, the Series 62 nameplate was applied to Cadillac’s full-size model between 1940 and 1964. Seven generations of Series 62 were produced, and the car quickly gained a cult following for its distinctive style and celebrity associations later in life. Today’s 1962 Cadillac Series 62 Restomod comes from the seventh or last generation of Series 62, and it’s a kind of restomod. While the car appears period-correct on the outside, the drivetrain has been massively updated, and there are some neat conveniences on the interior too. So, if you’re a fan of classic Sixties lines but want some modern driving dynamics, this Huffman-based car is basically speaking your name. Just call or DM us and let’s get started on the purchase process.
Cadillac may be best known for their massively opulent land yachts that really pushed the boundaries of full-size cars, but did you know that they had smaller options? In fact, they still do. Between 1976 and 2004, their midsize luxury car was the Seville. Named after a Spanish province renowned for art and architecture, today’s 1985 Cadillac Seville comes from the second generation of the nameplate. It’s got only 13,272 miles on its 4.1-liter throttle body injected V8, and features a four-speed automatic transmission. Interestingly, the car is front-wheel drive, as was typical back in the day. If you’d like to acquire this rather interesting piece of Eighties Americana, it’s currently up for grabs in Fountain Inn, South Carolina.
Do you want to be the proud owner of an American grand tourer from the Two Thousands, of which fewer than 15,500 were made? Yes, you can get yourself this 2004 Cadillac XLR from Lemont, Illinois and boast that it’s one of only 3,665 cars made in 2004. Rarer than some supercars, the Cadillac XLR was Caddy’s crack at the luxury grand tourer market. And you know what? It’s one of those cars that was massively underestimated when it was brand-new. Not enough people were brave enough to check it out, which was a mistake, because Cadillac had made something truly great. Now, XLRs are slowly gaining popularity, so you’d better snap up this sub-21,000 mile car before prices start going up – after all, Demand and Supply – that’s basic economics.
For fifty years, Cadillac’s Eldorado marked the flagship offering of this renowned American luxury automaker. The first Eldorado came out in 1952, and those early models were some of the most expensive cars in America at the time. Twelve generations of Eldorado were made, and today, we have a ninth-generation example up for grabs in Port St. Lucie, Florida. This 43,658-mile 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz Classic is the very embodiment of the term Land Yacht, after all. It’s large, imposing, and features the ultra-rare factory sunroof option. Don’t miss out on this opportunity to own an American classic.
The Packard Motor Company is one of those great American auto names that you’ve likely never heard of. That’s because they came to be in 1899, but went out in 1956, when they merged with Studebaker. It’s likely your parents themselves may not have heard of the brand either, but your grandparents likely will. They will reminisce about how Packards were luxury cars at the time, owned and driven by the wealthy, and always statement-makers whenever they were seen driving along, or parked in the foyers of swish hotels. Today, you can find out how it feels to have a Packard by acquiring this Stanton-based 1949 Packard 8 Restomod. The car comes with a newer V8 under the hood and has gained an automatic transmission too. This makes it ideal for the generation who never learned to drive stick. We’re told that the frame is from a Cadillac de Ville, and that documentation is included with the sale of the car. One key is also provided.
Packard is an American auto brand that you’ve likely never heard of, or if so, in passing. Your parents might know if it though, your grandparents definitely will. That’s because the Packard Motor Company of Detroit, Michigan made cars between 1899 and 1956. They are widely known as the purveyors of the modern steering wheel, air conditioning in cars, and one of the first production 12-cylinder engines! Sad, then, that such an iconic brand died a quiet death in the Fifties, merging with Studebaker by 1953 and quietly disappearing thereafter. One of their last models was the 200, and we have an example for sale today. This 1951 Packard 200 comes from Marietta, Georgia, and has done just 19,000 miles as per what we’ve been told. It’s a fine classic car for those who seek an unusual choice rather than going with the usual suspects from the major brands.
Let us take you back to the ‘50s, an era when some of the most dramatic design features were bestowed upon automotive culture. Our subject car belongs to Dodge, an American automotive brand that is renowned to date. The Royal was introduced in 1954 as Dodge's top trim level. It was a significant model for the company as it partook Chrysler's $100 million "Forward Look" program and saved the company by doubling sales over the previous year. 1959 was the last year for the Dodge Royal, and the advertising theme for that year's product line was "Newest of Everything Great," underlining the brand's focus on innovation and modern style. Our subject Dodge Royal is from its last iteration as well, boasting a reupholstered interior and several upgrades. Located in New Orleans, Louisiana, it awaits its new owner.
