Vehicle Description
Gorgeous Red 1954 Cadillac Series 62 convertible with matching red
and white interior and a tan top. This beautiful American Dream
Machine has had an extensive 4 year professional restoration just
3,400 miles ago and looks just as good as when it was done several
years ago. The paint was professionally done and looks like a new
car. The body lines and panel fitment are tight and fit like
new.
Most of the chrome was redone including the bumpers grill and side
trim. The rest for the chrome and stainless was already in great
condition. The interior was also redone with new seat covers, door
panels and carpet. The dash and instrument cluster are original and
in great shape which is a testimony to the car. The top was also
replaced and functions flawlessly and has brand new power top
cylinders. The 331 cubic inch engine and 4 speed Hydra-matic
automatic transmission was rebuilt at the time of the restoration
and has barely been broken in with only 3400 miles on the rebuild.
Nicely optioned with power steering and power brakes. After
completion this piece of automotive history was sold to the
President of the Louisiana Cadillac LaSalle Club. Stored in a
climate control garage and driven to events and cars shows. The
Caddillac is in great structural and mechanical condition. Recent
maintenance and improvements include fresh mechanical tune up, new
dual exhaust installed, freshly rebuilt carburetor, all new fuel
lines, new fuel pump, complete radiator service, generator was
rebuilt, brand new brake cylinders and new rear brake lines, new
spark plugs and spark plug wires, grease packed front wheel
bearings, fuel tank was also cleaned and serviced. The coolant,
brake fluid, oil and oil filter changed.
All this was done within the last 100 miles. This incredible
machine is rolling on newer set of Cadillac Eldorado Chrome spoke
wheels and wide whites.
