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 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.
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 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 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?

The fourth-generation Ford Fairlane of the ‘60s offered a happy middle ground for those who wanted a large sedan or coupe but didn’t want to stretch to the levels that the Galaxie offered. Our featured Ford Fairlane has been on the receiving end of some loving restoration work and reports an all-new interior along with other key components. With a 260ci V8 engine, the owner reports a mileage of 47,200 on the odometer.
Say hello to the 1968 Chevrolet Camaro SS. You may be familiar with the name; after all, it’s one of the most iconic cars out there. It was a proper performance car that took the Camaro name to new heights. One of the downsides of this kind of fame is that imitators are aplenty — not all Camaros bore the SS moniker when they left the showroom. However, our featured car is reported to be a true SS. Moreover, it’s undergone a complete restoration to bring it to its current condition.
