If you want to know what luxury motoring in the Fifties was like, the Cadillac Series 62 is the perfect way to find out. Examples aren't exactly easy to find, which is why this 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan is a hot topic item right now. With 58,000 miles on the clock, it's not run too much. A few things to note, the current owner says that the motor is from a 1953 Cadillac not original to car, so it is not a numbers-matching unit, albeit it's original under the hood. More of interest would be the fact that the car reportedly underwent restoration between 1988 and 1991.
At first glance, you might think it's a black car, but it's actually a dark shade of blue, Cobalt Blue Metallic, to be precise. The current owner reports that this is the factory color of the 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan, and its interior is also in factory colors. You've got plenty of chrome, the characteristic Fifties fins at the rear, and all lighting looks in decent condition. The current owner says that the car could use a new set of tires. Inside the reportedly original light and dark blue cord material cabin, there's space for up to six adults across two bench seats, although five would be a more sensible number nowadays. Take a few moments to appreciate the Art Deco-styled dash, with ample chrome embellishments on it, as well as the door cards. The current owner tells us that the signal-seeking original radio was refurbished but needs some attention now. There's no air conditioning, but the heater is functional. That's all. You won't find myriad charging ports or touchscreen infotainment systems here. What you will find instead are ashtrays, as in-car smoking was in vogue back then.
This 1953 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan has a 331ci V8 under the hood that was factory rated for 190hp and drives the rear wheels through a four-speed Dynaflow transmission. The engine was bored and given hardened valve seats so it can run unleaded gas. There's power steering but no power brakes, so you'd better brush up on your leg exercises. The current owner also notes that the 12v battery has been replaced, as has the fuel pump. The transmission shows a small oil leak that can be fixed easily.

Cadillac is well-known for producing some of the most opulent and prominent full-size luxury cars of the ’50s and ’60s. These quintessentially American machines were instrumental in bringing about the term Land Yacht. The Series 62 nameplate was made between 1940 and 1962 across seven generations. Yes, in those days, model cycles were quite short, sometimes as short as two years. This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan comes from the seventh generation of the Series 62, which was made only for 1959 and 1960 before the de Ville took over. With 98,000 miles on the odometer, this car has been fully restored and sports a fresh coat of paint as well. Hence, it’s a great classic car and a symbol of American automobilia to own and drive.
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 definitive daddy of full-size American luxury SUVs, the Cadillac Escalade has become a household name in the segment. Introduced in 1998, the Escalade is now in the fifth generation of production and is well-known for its spacious interior, formidable V8 engine choices, and luxurious amenities. It’s also got four-wheel drive if you choose, making it capable off-road if you need it to be. Today’s 2018 Cadillac Escalade comes from the fourth generation of the name, and has done a reported over 77,000 miles. Its V8 engine is reportedly a strong and reliable performer, plus the rest of the car appears in excellent shape. So, it’s a fantastic family hauler for those who don’t want to spend a price premium on a brand-new full-size luxury SUV. If you’re in search of a smart deal, then this car awaits your consideration in Millbrae, California.
Cadillac’s most popular model has got to be the Eldorado. Introduced in 1952, it enjoyed a fantastic fifty-year production run across twelve generations. The name Eldorado is inspired, as you may guess, by the Spanish term, and means ‘The Gilded One’. It’s also based on the Colombian lost city of Gold, namely El Dorado. With such nomenclature, you’d expect the Eldorado to be something, and those who have sampled one wholeheartedly agree that it could be the defining feature of Cadillac’s brand proposition. Today’s 1984 Cadillac Eldorado comes from Greensboro, North Carolina and has covered under 51,000 miles to date. It’s a fine tenth generation example, and a perfect embodiment of the Eighties as a result.
Do you want a four-door sedan that’s fast, powerful, amazingly potent-looking and above all, American? If so, may we humbly recommend this 2019 Cadillac CTS-V from Toledo with just 9,500 miles done so far? The CTS was Cadillac’s midsize luxury car offering between 2003 and 2019. It went head-to-head with the likes of the Mercedes-Benz E-Class, BMW 5-Series and Audi A6. However, Cadillac also wanted to make a potent variant, which it denoted with a simple hyphen and a V at the end of the car’s name. Packing a powerful American V8 under the hood, the CTS-V represented a formidable alternative in the midsize performance luxury sedan market right up until its discontinuation in 2019. So, this particular car is one of the last of an era of excitement. It’s also got the V Series Preferred Equipment Group, Luxury Package and All-Weather Mat Protection Package. Snap it up right before someone else does!
You can’t go amiss by choosing a first-generation Ford Mustang as your starter classic car. Ford’s signature model created the whole pony car arena, and over sixty years later, remains the sole survivor of the segment. The first generation Mustang was offered between 1964 (called 1964½ models) and 1973. Along the way, it offered various engines and came in some high-performance variants too. Buyers could choose three body styles, and many went for the stylish fastback or the slick convertible. But, the third choice, the two-door hardtop offered sleek and arguably unappreciated style that really made owning one a personal choice of distinction. Today, we’ve got a 1967 Ford Mustang Hardtop for sale in Goodyear, Arizona. With its host of upgrades, this is a classic car that’s suitable for daily driving if desired. Snap it up soon!

The perfect blend is a topic that sees a lot of discussion but the general priority would be to balance out modern day looks while not taking the character of a classic car away. Present today is rare occasion when the perfect blend takes shape and looks like this 1955 Chevrolet Bel Air.
There comes a time when a car takes things up a notch and has cult following status the moment it leaves its factory floors. BMW’s range of M3’s are most definitely that type, with most models redefining what the perfect drive experience is like. Present today is what is arguably one of the M3’s finest and takes shape with this 1995 BMW M3 Coupe. With a reported 53,000 miles on its clock, this one-owner German powerhouse is a true rare example that keeps on giving on every drive out and also serves as a very savvy investment in the years to come.
