Vehicle Description
This is more than just a beautiful 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe
with glittering chrome and shimmering modern paint. You're looking
a bumper-to-bumper unique build/restoration that includes a full
custom interior, a huge V8, adjustable air ride suspension, and an
upgraded chassis. In other words, it's the custom classic that's in
a class all by itself.
There was an estimated $300,000 spent to get a total package that
looks this amazing. And the best part is this Caddy loves to show
off these big investments from every angle. Let's start with the
first impression. When you see this coupe coming down the road, the
ruby-like appearance of the deep metallic red lets you know
instantly that this is something special. It's the product of a
very professional application of a modern color and plenty of shiny
clearcoat. And as the car comes into full view, you really start to
see how the full build is a one-of-a-kind. Six inches were taken
out of the roofline, and the b-pillar was removed to give it a
smooth DeVille style look. That kicks off a more modern appearance
that's complemented by frenched headlights, a one-piece windshield,
sport mirrors, and shaved door handles. Plus, you might have
noticed the trim has been expertly eliminated on the hood, fenders,
and the sleek fastback trunk. But even without extra trim, this
classic Caddy still has plenty of brightwork. This one has been
heavily invested in to make sure it has a butter-smooth reflection
on the form-fitting bumpers, wide intricate grille, and straight
side trim. Plus, the 20-inch Boyd Coddington wheels neatly tucking
under this creation perfectly blends its timeless shine and modern
sensibilities.
Inside you see more modern upgrades mixed with classic style. And
it all blends perfectly to retain a true luxury Cadillac image.
Everyone gets an individual bucket seat thanks to a custom center
console that runs the full length of the interior, and with only
around 500 miles on this build, it all feels exceptionally fresh.
Up front, this console houses the controls for all the best
features, such as the air ride system, power windows, and
provisions for R134a air conditioning (will need a serving to blow
ideally cold again.) Plus, the Alpine AM/FM/CD/XM head unit with
touchscreen interface is your gateway to Bluetooth, GPS, and the
nicely integrated amplified full stereo system. From the driver's
seat, you'll appreciate the details, like how the steering column
was color-matched to the interior/exterior red, and the grip around
the Budnik steering wheel matches the seats. Plus, while the gauges
were upgraded to a cool modern Dakota Digital setup, this is still
set in the classic dash with a hint of wraparound style.
When you lift the hood, this custom build looks downright
futuristic with the color-matched custom cover and just a hint of
polished components peeking out from this smooth and tidy setup
(yes, even the pulleys are custom painted!) And when you look
beyond the award-worthy style, you'll find the substance of a
later-model 500 cubic-inch V8. This was the largest displacement
Cadillac ever placed in their cars, and so it's the perfect way to
give this custom the right power while still staying true to its
brand heritage. The big V8 inhales deeply thorough an Edelbrock
four-barrel carburetor, and it gives a dignified yet authoritative
exhale out of the dual exhaust. The suspension was also given a
major upgrade. The front has modern tubular A-arms, and the rear is
a strong four-link. Plus, with the adjustable air ride suspension,
you get to watch jaws drop at the car show as you lower this
chopped Caddy to the ground. Out on the road, the four-speed
automatic transmission w/overdrive, power steering, and Wilwood
four-wheel disc brakes means this custom classic knows how to
cruise like a good Caddy should.
One-of-a-kind machines like this rarely leave their creator's hands
and never stay available for long. And when this is gone, you'll
likely never see another classic coupe like it. So if don't want to
be like anyone else, you know this needs to be in your garage. Call
