Introduced in 1940, the Series 62 was initially meant to be a slight bump up from the Series 61, an entry-level offering by Cadillac. The Series 62 quickly gained the crowd's admiration, and its popularity opened the gates for Cadillac to introduce even more models, such as the Eldorado and Coupe de Ville. This specific fourth-generation Series 62 has reportedly been fully restored with 100% of its original parts and is currently up for sale.
For the fourth generation, Cadillac decided to introduce a low, sleek body to the Series 62. The front end received inverted gull wing front bumpers and Dagmar-style bumper guards, the rear bumper was redesigned, and the infamous wraparound windshield was inherited from the Eldorado. In 1955, even the sedan versions of the Cadillac Series 62 inherited the Florentine curved rear window. As seen on this vehicle, the most distinguishable features were the V-shaped badges placed on the car's front and rear ends. This example perfectly sports these unique features as it gleams in candy apple red. It also has a white soft top, matching the white wall tires, which the current owner reports to be new. The interior of this 1955 Cadillac Series 62 is an excellent example of a great restoration. Its red and white two-tone leather finish complements the exterior. Both front and rear receive a bench-style seat, and even its classic steering wheel matches the interior colors. Being a vehicle from the 50s, it's only natural for the cabin to inherit some of the chrome accents that are present on the exterior.
Powering the 1955 Cadillac Series 62 is a 331ci (5.4L) OHV V8 engine. This engine is widely known to be one of the greatest and long-lived engines of all time by General Motors and only ended production in 2010. In the case of this Series 62, its 331ci is paired with an automatic transmission.
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 inherent dignity, grace and beauty that became a hallmark of Cadillac styling in the past took a giant leap forward for 1959. There is, for example, all of the impressive stature, which only a motor car of adequate length and wheelbase can offer. There's the appearance of solid enduring beauty from every angle and an unmistakable mantle of quality which marked Cadillac at the time as the standard of the world. There were 13 models offered by Cadillac in ‘59 including a variety of sedans and coupes a couple of convertibles and even a limousine. These models, including the Series 62 are remembered for their iconic huge tailfins with dual bullet taillights. Up for sale here is a staggering example of a 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe showing 47,500 original miles on its clock.
This fully restored 1985 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz is a prime example of luxury and elegance from the pinnacle of 1980s American automotive design. With only 53,000 original miles, this stunning coupe offers both pristine condition and authenticity. Powered by Cadillac’s refined 4.1L V8 engine and finished in an eye-catching red exterior over an equally luxurious red interior, it effortlessly blends vintage charm with modern touches such as Bluetooth radio connectivity.
The Cadillac Eldorado was the flagship offering of Cadillac, America’s most famous luxury automaker to this day. Made over twelve generations, the Eldorado’s production run started in 1953 and finally bid adieu to the world in 2002. Envisioned to be a two-door personal luxury car, the Eldorado is widely popularized as the vehicle that resulted in the coining of the term “Land Yacht”. Just cast your eyes upon this 31,898-mile, ninth generation 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible and you’ll see why. Stretching at over 224 inches long and taking up almost 80 inches of road width, it’s truly an imposing, hulking beast. Its engine is no less impressive, because Cadillac’s answer to the stranglehold of the Malaise Era was to simply upsize the cubic inch capacity to commercial vehicle level numbers. Now, you can have your very own Land Yacht, as this reportedly all-original car is up for sale in Topanga, California.
Late 50s Chevys and mid 60s Cadillacs have always been popular candidates for restomod projects. However, not all of them are tastefully done like this fully restored 1965 Cadillac de Ville convertible restomod. 1965 was the first model year for the 3rd generation De Ville. It retained the same wheelbase as its predecessor, but the frame was a new perimeter frame (rather than the old X frame). The horizontal headlamp arrangement that had been standard since the late 50s was dropped in favor of a vertical arrangement, which also resulted in a wider grille. Gone were the softer lines of the old car, replaced by a sharper, more boxy design. The tailfins that had started shrinking since 1960 were now lower and slanted slightly downwards rather than slightly upwards. The new straight lines in its design make this car just as good looking with the top down as it does with the top up.
Owning an Alfa Romeo is an act of lust, self-sacrifice and pure aural pleasure. That’s because these Italian machines are full of character, quirky, and need the appropriate maintenance to perform at their best. Neglect an Alfa Romeo and everyone will be sad (car included). However, if you look after it the way it’s meant to be, and drive it with gusto, you’ll find it quickly becoming your happy place, your solitude space. Furthermore, if you select a car like this New York-based 1997 Alfa Romeo Spider 2.0 TS that’s done just 37,000 miles, you’ll also be in charge of a definitive future classic, and a potentially appreciating asset.
One of the most widely sold cars in the world, over 21 million Volkswagen Beetles rolled of production facilities in Germany and other countries over the car’s exceptionally long lifecycle.
