Vehicle Description
This is the car that defines 1950s cool. A rare factory black 1957
Cadillac Series 62 Coupe Deville hardtop is the ultimate expression
from the brand that was truly the "Standard of the World." So when
it's a numbers-matching car with actual miles that's as crisp and
complete as this one, you're likely looking at a once-in-a-lifetime
opportunity at excellence.
The factory-correct black has a glossy appearance that highlights
the shape and the details from an era when designers were in charge
at the car companies. And we love how the gray roof matches the
gray lower fenders for that added touch of style. This is an
intricate design, and so we know you're inspecting the pictures for
quality. And this one only shows signs of being treated with
respect all its life (that's what you get when one of these coupes
costs as much new as two Bel Air V8 hardtops!) We know you are also
looking at all the detail pictures to make sure all that intricate
beautiful chrome trim is in place. And we're happy to tell you this
car is complete and mirror-like from the Dagmar caps all the way
down to the jet-inspired taillights. And speaking of the rear
section, no one did it better than Cadillac in the '50s. From the
tail fins, to the wraparound bumpers that also house the exhaust,
this is pure art on wheels.
The appeal of these sofa-like seats is as clear as black and white,
literally. The crisp white with suede-like black inserts and
button-top brightwork reminds us all that true class has a timeless
elegance. The rest of the interior is nothing but a great
coordinating festival of black, white, and chrome. It all has the
solid feeling of a well-invested classic, and so this Cadillac
upholds its premium nameplate even today. It's a correct and
detail-oriented look with cool period-correct items that are there
for display like the Autronic Eye and AM radio. You also get useful
features like the working map lights and power seat. Plus, you'll
be especially pleased that the power windows are all working
smoothly. So you never have to leave the driver's seat any time you
want to show off this Deville's pillarless hardtop profile.
Cadillac's 365 cubic-inch motor fills this engine bay properly with
big V8 power. This numbers-matching unit looks fantastically well
presented with the blue block and valve covers hiding under the
tidy black belts, hoses, and air grabber. The motor fires up
readily, and the four-barrel carburetor gives this large hardtop
coupe the kind of legs to cruise on the highway. And the dual
exhaust has a nice rumble that reminds you of a classic American V8
without jeopardizing the luxury atmosphere. Cadillac pioneered
automatic transmissions, and the unit living behind the V8 shifts
crisply with that unique Hydramatic feel to it that suggest
precision machinery at work. Add in power steering and power
brakes, and this makes for an effortless classic cruiser. The final
touch are the whitewall tires on the bright Caddy factory wheel
covers that complete the black, white, and chrome uniform feeling
throughout this impressive classic.
Vintage Cadillacs are a rare treat to possess. So when you can find
