After introducing all-new bodies in 1948, Cadillac announced two
more surprises in 1949: a high-compression overhead valve V-8
engine and a new Coupe DeVille. For customers looking for an
open-air experience, there was only the Series 62 Convertible
Coupe.
Nicely restored in its original colour of Fiesta Ivory, this
Cadillac convertible has a black canvas hood and tan leather
upholstery, having originally been trimmed in green leather.
Equipped with Hydra-Matic transmission, it was supplied new with
push-button radio, automatic heater, reversing lamps, and full
wheel discs. Other equipment includes a driver's-door spotlight.
The car was ordered by the Cadillac distributor in Newark, New
Jersey, for a dealer in Montclair, to whom it was shipped on 20
June 1949.
With 8,000 built, the Series 62 convertible was second only to the
four-door sedan in sales. They seldom appear today, so this car
represents an uncommon opportunity.
- Restaurado num imponente marfim Fiesta com interior bege
- Acompanhado por c�pia da sua ficha de fabrico
Depois de apresentar novas carro�arias para 1948, a Cadillac
anunciou mais duas surpresas em 1949: um novo motor V8 com taxa de
compress�o elevada e v�lvulas � cabe�a e o novo Coupe DeVille. Para
os clientes que queriam experimentar a condu��o sem capota, existia
apenas o Convertible Coupe da s�rie 62.
Bem restaurado na sua cor original Marfim Fiesta, este Cadillac
descapot�vel tem capota em lona preta e interior em pele bege.
Originalmente estava forrado com pele verde. Equipado com a caixa
de velocidades Hydra-Matic, do seu equipamento original constava
ainda um r�dio com bot�es, aquecimento autom�tico, farolim de
marcha-atr�s e rodas com discos de di�metro completo. Outro
equipamento opcional � um pequeno holofote na porta do condutor.
Foi encomendado pelo agente Cadillac em Newark, Nova J�rsia, para
um comerciante de autom�veis em Montclair, para quem foi enviado a
20 de junho de 1949.
Com 8000 exemplares produzidos, o Convertible da s�rie 62 ficou
apenas atr�s do sedan de quatro portas em termos de vendas.
Atualmente, � pouco frequente aparecerem, pelo que este autom�vel
representa uma oportunidade invulgar.To view this car and others
