Overview of 1962 Cadillac DeVille Park Avenue For Sale by Owner

De Ville is French for “of the town”, and Cadillac envisioned their DeVille line-up to be the talk of towns when it drove through. Representing the luxury car maker’s full-size offering, the DeVille entered the scene in 1959, and sported the height of Sixties ostentatiousness. What we’ve got here is a second-generation 1962 Cadillac DeVille Park Avenue with 77,278 miles that the current owner reports to be original mileage.

Exterior and Interior

A full-sized four-door sedan is the proposition that this 1962 Cadillac DeVille Park Avenue offers, all 215 inches of it, in a pale yellow exterior and contrasting white hardtop. Note the pillarless nature that adds a feeling of airiness, almost akin to a convertible, which is what Cadillac was going for. Of course, you can’t miss those stratospheric fins at the rear! Other highlights of the Sixties include the slats partially obscuring the rear wheels, whitewall tires, hubcaps with body-colored accents, and of course, a generous serving of chrome all round. The bodywork appears to be mostly in good condition, save for some small rust areas that can be corrected. The decent helping of chrome continues on to the black interior as well, adorning the dashboard, window trims, front seat backs, and door cards. You’ll find two bench seats here that can easily accommodate three people each. Power conveniences are ample too, as befits a luxury car. Power windows were trick enough, but throw power seats into the mix, air conditioning, and push-button radio, and you’ve got yourself a top-shelf top-dollar car in its heyday. The trunk upholstery appears in decent condition too, and plays host to the spare wheel and toolkit.

Engine

A large car requires a suitably potent engine to motivate it, and in the luxury car world, you can’t skimp in that area. That’s why Cadillac installed a 390ci V8 beneath the hood of this 1962 Cadillac DeVille Park Avenue. The engine was rated for 325hp when new, sent to the rear wheels via an automatic transmission.

1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe

For Sale
ASK: $27,799
Miles: 63,156
Estimated: $274.33/mo

The 1962 Ford Thunderbird represents an era when American personal luxury cars were designed to make a statement, combining dramatic styling, powerful V8 engines, and an emphasis on comfort that distinguished them from conventional automobiles. Part of the third-generation Thunderbird lineup, affectionately known as the "Bullet Bird" for its distinctive streamlined design, the 1962 model featured a sculpted body, prominent chrome detailing, and a luxurious passenger compartment that reflected Ford's ambitious approach to personal transportation. This particular 1962 Ford Thunderbird Hardtop Coupe, showing 63,156 miles, is finished in Corinthian White over a striking Red interior and boasts an especially interesting ownership history dating back to its original purchase on October 15, 1962. According to the seller, the vehicle has passed through just three owners, with the current owner retaining it since July 2007 and overseeing an extensive series of refresh and maintenance efforts. Even more intriguing is the discovery of original Ford ROT manufacturing sheets, period service receipts, factory assembly markings, and other historical artifacts that provide a tangible connection to the car's earliest years. Powered by a 390ci V8 paired with a three-speed Cruise-O-Matic automatic transmission, this Thunderbird also benefits from reported upper-engine rebuilding, cooling system improvements, renewed brake components, and a retrofit air conditioning system. With its distinctive color combination, documented historical discoveries, and extensive collection of accompanying spare parts, this Thunderbird presents an appealing combination of classic American luxury and enthusiast provenance.
