Cadillac’s Series 62 range of cars is one of the most iconic designs of the 1950s. This generation of Series 62 came in a variety of body styles, including hardtop, sedan, and convertible variants. The convertible is perhaps one of the most sought-after configurations today, and for good reason. It makes a statement wherever you go and was adored by the rich and famous of the era. While these cars proved popular with the elite, finding an original condition example with low mileage would be a tough ask today. However, our featured car is just that, reported as mostly original and featuring an owner-reported mileage of just 27,000.
The design of the 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Convertibles was characterized by the jet age, with plenty of nods to the tech of the time featured in the styling. You got round “jet-style” exhausts, an inverted gullwing bumper, and pointed bumper extensions all making an appearance. Our featured car comes with an immaculate Gray exterior, which is presented in stunning quality thanks to the car being professionally repainted. The bodywork is further highlighted by the perfectly preserved chrome trim and bumpers, and all badges appear to be in pristine condition. You’ll also find the original wheels and white wall tires. You’ll notice the rear features the continental-style spare wheel placement on the back. Open the large trunk, and you’ll also find a spare wheel housed within. Like the paintwork, the interior has been painstakingly restored, with new upholstery reported. The black soft top retracts to reveal the interior, with a large dual-tone steering wheel, complete with a chrome horn ring. The dashboard houses a horizontal speedometer, as well as a period radio. You’ll even find an external spotlight that can be aimed from the interior.
Under the hood of this 1955 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible lies the car’s original running gear. It features a 331ci V8 that is reported to be original, along with the car’s original automatic transmission. Enhancing the value of this rare numbers-matching car is the low mileage, reported to be just 27,000 miles.
Cadillac has proclaimed itself as “the standard of the world,” and when cars like this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe come along, it’s not hard to see why. The elegantly designed Series 62 Coupe featured a restrained yet oh-so-sophisticated appearance that appealed to the well-heeled clientele that Cadillac was courting. 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.
The original purpose of the Cadillac Series 40-62 was to complement the entry-level Series 61. The Series 62 saw seven generations. 1949 falls in the third generation and it was produced for only two years, between 1948 and 49. They were designed by renowned American automotive designer Harley Earl. Today, hot rod and street rod builders find these artworks on wheels to be enticing targets. This stunning 1949 Cadillac Custom is one such specimen that has done 190,000 miles so far. With a wealth of adventures and memories in its spirit, this fully restored beauty is in excellent condition and is available for sale in California.
The De Ville name was first introduced as a standalone model range in 1959 and would remain a significant part of the Cadillac lineup up till 2005. The 4th generation came in 1971, and every subsequent year brought styling changes until the smaller 5th generation was released in 1977. 1974 brought changes to the front end (like a new grille and a new headlamp layout), and the introduction of a new option; the Air Cushion Restraint System (what is now known as airbags) for both front-seat occupants. It was, however, a costly option that didn’t prove popular among buyers and was discontinued after 1976. A 1971 Coupe De Ville reportedly came 3rd in the Cannonball Run, averaging 84.6mph and 8.9mpg.
The Cadillac Eldorado is a well-known luxury car from renowned American automaker Cadillac. In fact, the brand itself has become the representation of American luxury vehicles. When it debuted in 1952, the Eldorado was a full-size luxury car, and continued for fifty years, across twelve generations. With its sizable dimensions, comfortable interior and the latest technological innovations of the time, it’s no surprise that the Eldorado was an aspirational item for many. So, you can imagine how the first owner of this ninth generation 1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible must have felt when they went to receive their brand-new Cadillac. Now, the car has done 87,000 miles, and comes to you with a few refurbishments to keep it running at its peak. So why not acquire this quintessential Seventies Land Yacht as your next (or first) classic car?

Chevy’s Impala was the famous Bowtie automaker’s full-size offering for many years. It appeared sporadically between 1957 and 2020 and made it across ten generations. The Impala is named, as you may suspect, after the African antelope of the same name. It quickly won favor with the American auto-loving public due to its diverse array of body styles and, of course, V8 power. Up for sale today is a third-generation 1961 Chevrolet Impala Bubbletop Restomod, which reportedly packs 45,000 original miles. But, it’s received a comprehensive do-over, more power, and some modern comfort features.
