BODY OVERVIEW: This 1947 Cadillac Series 62 sedan presents a unique
and captivating appeal. The original body has been carefully
stripped of its paint, allowing the bare metal to be showcased and
proof that there is no Bondo in this rare car. This approach
highlights the car's original body lines and offers a distinct and
raw aesthetic that sets it apart from conventional restorations.
The overall body condition is nice, showcasing the car's
well-preserved originality. The advantage to this is you get a
unique styling that you aren't going to see everywhere.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Rather than conventional paint, this
Cadillac features a clear coat applied over the bare metal. This
treatment not only preserves the original body's charm but also
protects it from the elements. The absence of traditional paint
reveals the car's history and patina, adding to its vintage appeal.
Black is believed to be the original shade, as seen in areas such
as the door jambs.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this Series 62 sedan
appears to have been redone in white. The exact details of the
preservation are not known, but from visual inspection, the
interior showcases a tasteful and well-executed renovation. The
upholstery, door panels, and other interior elements have been
refreshed, creating an inviting and comfortable space for both
driver and passengers.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission
and powered by a correct Cadillac 346 cubic inch V8 engine, this
Cadillac Series 62 offers a vintage driving experience. This
classic combination of transmission and engine provides a smooth
and engaging driving experience, characteristic of vehicles from
this era. It's till a 6-volt battery, but it fires up very quickly
and impressed us when we took it around the block.
