Vehicle Description
The first new designs for Cadillac post World War II were the
Cadillac Series 61 and 62. The production was in modest amounts and
the model year was only 8 months long. Only 5,450 Series 62 2 door
convertibles were produced.The distinguishing features of the 1948
Series 62 were the grooved front fender gravel guards, rocker
panels with brightwork, Chevron style chrome slashes below
taillights, and a richer interior trim. A shorter wheelbase was
introduced, and it was big news when the Cadillac fin appeared. The
fins defined Cadillac and were used in design for the next 30
years. The fins were adopted into other auto manufacturers designs
until the end of the 1950s and even into later years.This is a
great 1948 Series 62 Convertible Coupe project car. The body is
solid and the car is 90% complete. It is a great candidate for a
custom build. The convertible frame top is solid with all pieces
intact.Car comes with boxes full of partssprings, trim, body
moldings, etc. just to name a few.Owner does have an LS 1 engine
and a 4L 60E transmission, both have 6,000 miles. Owner will

$5500.00.This Cadillac convertible resides in KY and is available
