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 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.
Among those who enjoy driving about in good-looking cars, there is a small group who prefer the look of a mundane car with a classic historic flare. If that is your cup of tea, this 1993 Cadillac Allante is an excellent choice for you. While it blends well with day-to-day traffic, it boasts a stately personality. After all, it is a Cadillac. It was marketed as a two-seater luxury roadster, so it looks even classy with its top down. The Allante model saw a seven-year production run and the bodies were built in Italy by iconic coachbuilder Pininfarina. Our subject example only has 65,000 miles on its clock and is currently residing in Florida. Its owner claims that it comes with 3 keys and all the service is up to date.
The Cadillac De Ville was introduced in 1958, as a full-size luxury car from America’s top luxury automaker at the time. De Ville means “of the town” in French, meaning that Cadillac intended the De Ville to be the talk of the town. The first generation is the most popular, naturally, thanks to its iconic shape and rear fins. In 1961, the second generation was introduced, with fresh styling and more body styles. Buyers could now pick from a four-door hardtop with four or six windows, a 2-door hardtop, or a 2-door convertible. If you’ve been trying to get your hands on a De Ville, check out this 56,435-mile 1964 Cadillac De Ville Sedan that’s up for sale right now. The current owner reports it to have been restored, hence its pristine appearance.
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?
Produced for just three years, the Fleetmaster was Chevy’s immediate new model following World War II. It was offered for the 1946, 1947 and 1948 model years, before the Chevrolet Deluxe took over.

Today, the Fleetmaster is an excellent '40s classic car for the discerning collector who doesn’t want to go down the typical route of classic car ownership. Therefore, we’re glad to present this wonderfully restored 1948 Chevrolet Fleetmaster with 49,585 miles on the clock. The car does pack a few modernizations to make it more pleasant to own and drive. All servicing is said to be up-to-date, and two keys are included with the sale.
Cars from 1950 are getting rarer. During that time, automakers went above and beyond to produce works of art on wheels. Classic car enthusiasts know well enough that these icons are worth preserving, but there is a cost, namely convenience. That's when the topic of restoration comes up. Users can add modern amenities that make everyday life with the car more comfortable while still enjoying the nostalgia of the bygone era. This 1950 Buick Super is an excellent example of a classic that has been tastefully restored. According to reports, it has only been 2,000 miles since its full restoration.
Plymouth was one of America’s most esteemed automakers, debuting in 1928 under the vision of Walter P. Chrysler. Contrary to popular belief, its name wasn’t inspired by Plymouth Rock but rather Plymouth Binder Twine, a nod to its strong association with farmers—a strategic marketing decision to bolster sales. Although the Plymouth brand ceased production in 2001, its legacy thrives in classic models like this meticulously restored 1947 Plymouth P15 Special Deluxe. This classic car embodies Plymouth's heritage while boasting modern enhancements for superior performance, making it a coveted collectible ready for its next chapter.
