Vehicle Description
This is more than just a beautiful 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe
with glittering chrome and shimmering modern paint. You're looking
a head-to-toe custom upgraded build/restoration that includes A/C,
a custom interior, a huge V8, and an upgraded chassis. In other
words, it's the custom classic that's in a class all by itself.
Let's start with the first impression. When you see this coupe
coming down the road, the ruby-like appearance of the deep metallic
red lets you know instantly that this is something special. It's
the product of a very professional application of a modern color
and plenty of shiny clearcoat. And as the car comes into full view,
you really start to see the huge investment in making this a
one-of-a-kind. Six inches was taken out of the roofline, and the
b-pillar was removed to give it a smooth de Ville style look. That
kicks off a more modern appearance that's complemented by frenched
headlights, a one-piece windshield, sport mirrors, and shaved door
handles. Plus, you might have noticed the trim has been expertly
eliminated on the hood, fenders, and the sleek fastback trunk. But
even without extra trim, this classic Caddy still has plenty of
brightwork. This one has been heavily invested in to make sure it
has a butter-smooth reflection on the form-fitting bumpers, wide
intricate grille, and straight side trim. Plus, the 20-inch Boyd
Coddington wheels neatly tucking under this creation perfectly
blends its shine and modern sensibilities.
Inside you see more modern upgrades mixed with classic style. And
it all blends perfectly to retain a true luxury Cadillac image.
Everyone gets an individual seat thanks to a custom center console
that runs the full length of the interior, and with only around 500
miles on this build, it all still looks exceptionally fresh. Up
front, this console houses the controls for all the best features,
such as the R134a air conditioning, power windows, and the air ride
system. Plus, the Alpine AM/FM/CD/XM head unit with touchscreen
interface is your gateway to Bluetooth, GPS, and the nicely
integrated amplified full stereo system. From the driver's seat,
you'll appreciate the details, like how the steering column was
color-matched to the interior/exterior red, and the grip around the
Budnik steering wheel matches the seats. Plus, while the gauges
were upgraded to a cool modern Dakota Digital setup, this is still
set in the classic dash with a hint of wraparound style.
When you lift the hood, this custom build looks downright
futuristic with the color-matched custom cover and just a hint of
polished components peeking out from this smooth and tidy setup
(yes, even the pulleys are custom painted!) And when you look
beyond the award-worthy style, you'll find the substance of a
later-model 500 cubic-inch V8. This was the largest displacement
Cadillac ever placed in their cars, and so it's the perfect way to
give this custom the right power while still staying true to its
brand heritage. The big V8 inhales deeply thorough an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, and it gives a dignified yet authoritative
exhale out of the dual exhaust. The suspension was also given a
major upgrade. The front has modern tubular A-arms, and the rear is
a strong four-link. Plus, with the adjustable air ride suspension,
you get to watch jaws drop at the car show as you lower this
chopped Caddy to the ground. Out on the road, the four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and Wilwood
four-wheel disc brakes means this custom classic knows how to
cruise like a good Caddy should.
One-of-a-kind machines like this rarely stay available for long.
And when this is gone, you'll likely never see another classic
coupe like it. So don't miss out, call today!
