proud to present this seldom-seen 1961 Cadillac Series 62
six-window (VIN code K) hardtop sedan. This particular
fully-optioned example has been freshly restored and it spent time
in arid Arizona and in Colorado; it was previously owned by a
Cadillac mechanic. This car comes complete with photo documentation
showing that the car was stripped to metal, engine removed and
interior was removed and replaced with new seats, carpet and
padding. Finished in Dresden Blue Metallic (code 24) with its
original chrome, the paint and trim are in overall excellent
condition, with only the slightest blemishes visible on close
inspection and some dings on the rear deck lid. The car's glass
panels are clear and crack-free while the car's lights are intact,
haze-free and look great. This Cadillac's bodywork is straight and
solid and continues shows off head stylist Bill Mitchell's rising
influence in the wake of Harley Earl's retirement a few years
earlier. Mitchell continued to de-emphasize the rear tailfins and
other outrageous styling hallmarks from 1959. The car's engine bay
is quite tidy, the battery looks newer, the trunk is in good order,
the bumpers fit tightly to the body. This six-window hardtop rolls
on Hankook whitewall radials surrounding factory wheel covers. Both
tires and wheels are in very good order. The previous owner states
that the motor was rebuilt, photos show motor out of the car but no
receipts. Under the hood is a 390 CID V-8 engine with a Rochester
four-barrel carburetor and 10.5:1 compression ratio. Backing up
this motor is a Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission and a
2.94:1 rear end. Driver convenience features include power
steering, power brakes, air-conditioning (code K), E-Z Eye Glass
(code E), heater (code H), power windows (code X) and six-way power
front seat (code Y). The water pump and air-conditioning have been
recently serviced. Included photos show interior removed with solid
original floors. The seats were recentlyreupholstered in vinyl and
cloth with new carpet and padding. Inside, the Gray Canberra Cloth
and matching fabric interior (code 31) is overall in very good
condition. The front and rear bench seats, complete with fold-down
center armrests, are in very good order, with blue carpet that
mirrors the condition of the seats. The complementing headliner is
in great shape while the original two-spoke steering wheel is in
good order. The gray inner door panels and instrument panel are in
great condition and echo the interior's overall theme and the
gearshift lever is in good shape. Rounding out the interior is a
factory AM radio. Cadillac was restyled and re-engineered for 1961.
The new grille slanted back towards both the bumper and the hood
lip, along the horizontal plan and sat between dual headlamps. New
forward slanting front pillars with non-wraparound windshield glass
were seen. The revised backlight treatment had crisp angular lines
with thin pillars on some models and heavier semi-blind quarter
roof posts on others. Standard equipment included power brakes,
power steering, automatic transmission, dual reverse lights,
windshield washer, dual speed wipers, wheel discs, plain fender
skirts, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror and oil filter.
Rubberized front and rear coil springs replaced the trouble-prone
air suspension system. Four-barrel induction systems were now the
sole power choice and dual exhausts were no longer available.

four-door HT, Chrysler's New Yorker HT Sedan, Jaguar's Mark IX
Sedan, Lincoln's Continental HT four-door sedan and Mercury's
Meteor 600 Marauder Sedan. If you're seeking a clean and solid
