Vehicle Description
***SALE PENDING***With pesky competitor Packard all but dead,
Lincoln having only sold a third the number of Cadillacs in 1956,
and with Imperial retailing less than a fifteenth the number of
Cadillacs in 1956, GM's premier luxury division was on a roll. With
all-new 1957 cars on all-new X-braced frames, sales were sure to
continue in a similar vein. The cars were two inches lower than
1956, with a new reverse slanted wraparound windshield and a
slightly longer 129.5-inch wheelbase. The engine remained 365 cubic
inches, but developed a full 300 hp. Once the final sales tally was
complete for the 1957 model year, Cadillac had moved 3.5 times more
cars than Lincoln, and four times more cars than the all-new,
flashy and low slung Imperial! These cars are collected by Cadillac
fans as well as fans of big, flashy 1950s cars with ample fins and
tons of chrome. Cody's Classic Cars is pleased to offer this 1957
Cadillac Series 62 hardtop coupe. A former WY car makes this a
solid candidate to restore the rest of the way, or just enjoy
as-is. Complete, professional rebuilds of the engine and
transmission in the last few years, along with a new carb, horns,
electric wipers, brakes, radiator, tires, shocks, alignment and
more. The interior carpet and seat covers were replaced, as well.
Excellent running and driving car, ready for that Rt. 66 road trip
this spring! Reasonable offers always considered. We can assist
with financing/shipping, and we sell world wide!
