Own this Vehicle from $449 per month-call 636-600-4600 Before the
Coupe and Sedan de Ville became separate models, they were part of
the Cadillac Series 62. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is proud to offer
this 1956 Series 62 Coupe de Ville Hardtop. This example is one of
25,086 examples made in 1956 and comes out of a collection out of
Amarillo, Texas. This Caddy has an older restoration that still
shows nicely today! Dressed in Alpine White (code 90) over Sonic
Blue (code 20), this Coupe de Ville's paint and trim are in overall
very good condition, with only the most minor blemishes visible
upon close inspection. The car's bodywork is straight and solid,
the car's chrome front Dagmar bumper and rear chrome bumper with
the exhaust that exits through the rear bumper shine brilliantly.
This model has the fashionable rear wheel fender skirts. The engine
bay is very tidy, the battery is in very good shape. This De Ville
rolls on wide whitewall tires, with factory full wheel covers. The
tires and wheel covers are in satisfactory condition but the hood
crest is missing. Under the hood is a 365 CID V-8 engine, which was
new for 1956. It was a bored and stroked version of Cadillac's 331
CID V-8, which debuted in 1949. The engine is linked to a
Hydramatic four-speed automatic transmission and this example has
3.36:1 rear axle (code P). Driver convenience features included
power steering, power brakes, power windows, power front seats and
an optional heater. Inside, the car has a Light Blue Bombay Pattern
Cloth and Light Blue Leather (code 42) interior. The front and rear
bench seats are in great shape and the rear seat has a center
fold-down armrest. The wipers and front power seat are inoperable.
The blue carpeting is in decent order, the blue headliner looks
great and the three-spoke steering wheel is in satisfactory order.
The car's blue metal instrument panel is in satisfactory shape
while the inner door panels are in good original order. Completing
the interior is a factory AM radio. In 1956, there was a new
grille, with finer textured insert, and the repositioning of the
parking lights in the bumpers, below the wing guards for Series 62
models. Buyers were given an option of the standard satin finish
grille or an optional gold finish. Cadillac script was found on the
left side. A narrow chrome molding and nine vertical louvers were
seen. The Coupe de Ville had a model nameplate and a Cadillac crest
on the sides of the front fenders. The Coupe de Ville was joined by
the Series 62 Sedan de Ville, Cadillac's first standard production
four-door hardtop. Similar to the Coupe de Ville, it was also more
expensive and more luxuriously trimmed that the standard four-door
Series 62. Given their sales success, it was only natural that the
Coupe de Ville and Sedan de Ville were moved to their own separate
series in 1959. Series 62 sales reached an all-time record in 1956
at 134,502 units, accounting for an all-time record 86.4 percent of
all Cadillacs sold. This included 66,818 De Villes and 6,050
Eldorados. Competition to this Series 62 Coupe de Ville in 1956
included Buick's Series 60 Century Riviera, Chrysler's New Yorker
Newport, DeSoto's Fireflite, Dodge's Coronet Lancer, Lincoln's
Capri, Mercury's Monterey, Oldsmobile's 98 Deluxe Holiday,
Packard's Caribbean and Pontiac's Star Chief. If the notion of a
classic Cadillac with a few small project areas to work on appeals
to you, swing by MotoeXotica Classic Cars today to examine this
Coupe de Ville. With its tasteful tail fins, Dagmar front bumper,
it was among the height of mid-1950s excess. VIN: 5662110938 This
