Old Cadillacs are some of the most beautiful and recognizable classic cars. Whether it is the fins on the later years or the swooping body lines of the 40s, classic Cadillacs will always be appreciated for their exceptional designs. This Series 62 remains in very original condition as the exterior shows. The paint shows a lot of wear and fading but is believed to be original. The interior is also highly original as well. While cosmetically this vehicle isn't perfect, it runs exceptionally well. It starts right up, idles, and shifts smoothly.
This specific Cadillac Series 62 was sold new out of Paramount Cadillac in Hickory North Carolina, where it was well cared for by a single family for 20 years. It would then be bought back by the dealership and sold to a General Motors executive who kept it in his collection for the last 39 years. Now is your chance to own a highly original, running and driving classic Cadillac. Please call or email with any questions or for additional information.
