Cadillac is among the first automotive brands to be created, and the first North American luxury automaker. Founded in 1902, it is named after Antoine De La Mothe Cadillac, the founder of Detroit. A General Motors brand, Cadillac vehicles have long symbolized the lavish and lengthy American luxury car, with ample space, power, and presence. The Series 62 was their full-size luxury car and enjoyed a production run from 1940 to 1964, spanning seven generations. The most famous Series 62 is the 1959-1960 sixth generation, that features the iconic dual bullet taillights and was featured in the film Pink Cadillac, starring Clint Eastwood. Whilst this 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is from the seventh generation, it still features the lines and styling cues that made these cars highly desirable and continue to do so. This car comes from Arizona.
The seventh generation of the Series 62 toned things down a little, but still retained most of the characteristic styling cues such as dual headlamps, ample chrome, and the buttress-style fins at the rear in which the taillamps reside. This 1961 Cadillac Series 62 may not be the car from Pink Cadillac, but it is a Pink Cadillac, draped in a Metallic Rose paintwork. It’s got 15inch steel rims with hubcaps painted to match the vehicle and wrapped in 235/75R15 whitewall tires. The powered convertible top is in white. Rear fender skirts complete the period look. On the interior, it’s yet more pink with a rose color scheme on the front and rear leather seats. Power seats, power windows and a hidden Kenwood Bluetooth stereo system are the amenities on offer, whilst the original AM radio remains in the dash for aesthetic purposes.
For the Series 62, it was a V8 or nothing. Nothing else would be comparable to the flamboyant outlook of the car than an all-American rumbling V8. Options were a 6.4L (390ci) or 7.0L (420ci) unit. This 1961 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible packs the smaller 6.4L (390ci) unit that put out 325hp when new to the rear wheels through a three-speed automatic transmission. Power steering and power brakes are present, the latter acting on drums all round. The car also features coil spring suspension at the front and rear.
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.
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 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.
