About Cadillac's Series 62 Model:
Although the fifth generation Series 62 was introduced in 1957 and
was only carried through 1958 they still represent one of the most
stylish and well received examples available to collectors today!
For 1958, there were a few upgrades to the model starting with a
new grille featuring multiple round "bullets" at the intersection
of the horizontal and vertical members. Dual headlamps were now
standard equipment on production vehicles. In addition, Cadillac
used small chrome fins to decorate the front fenders. The grille
was now wider and new bumper guards were positioned closer to the
parking lamps. Tail-fins were less pronounced and the word Cadillac
now appeared highlighted in block letters on the fin's top edge. On
the sides of the car were five longer horizontal wind splits ahead
of the skirt-less rear wheel openings, along with horizontal front
fender moldings. The convertibles used decorative lower rocker
moldings that flowed beautifully into the polished wheel lip
moldings. Cadillac's Series 62 is undoubtedly gorgeous and is one
that was truly meant to cruise the boulevard in style!
