The fifth generation Cadillac Series 62 was introduced in 1957 and only carried through 1958. They represent one of the most stylish and well received examples available to collectors today! For 1958, there was a new grille featuring multiple round "bullets" at the intersection of the horizontal and vertical members. Dual headlamps were now standard equipment on production vehicles, and Cadillac used small chrome fins to decorate the front fenders. The grille was wider and new bumper guards were positioned closer to the parking lamps. Tailfins were less pronounced and the word Cadillac appeared highlighted in block letters on the fin's top edge. On the sides of the car were five longer horizontal wind splits ahead of the skirt-less rear wheel openings, along with horizontal front fender moldings. The convertibles used decorative lower rocker moldings that flowed beautifully into the polished wheel lip moldings. A gorgeous Cadillac no doubt, and one that was truly meant to cruise the boulevard in style!

Upon arrival to the St. Louis Car Museum, we fully rebuilt the carburetor, installed new spark plugs, replaced the valve cover gaskets and left side motor mount, fitted new sway bar bushings as well as replacement of the engine oil with new oil filter. It was already previously equipped with a thermostatically controlled electric cooling fan to handle long days in California traffic, front seat belts for added safety, along will a storage car cover for days when the sun isn't shining. This beautiful Convertible Coupe represents one of only 7,825 units produced in 1958, making fantastic examples as nice as this one very hard to find!
