Vehicle Description
The 1957 Cadillac Series 62 convertible has undergone a complete,
professional frame-off restoration. The engine is the correct 365ci
V8 producing 325hp paired with Cadillac's Hydromatic 3-speed
transmission. The ignition was upgraded to an electronic system. A
complete wire harness from Painless was utilized, incorporating a
modern fuse panel, eliminating the original inline fuses of the
1950s. It rides on rear air shocks. The exterior color is Alpine
White over a button-quilted red and white leather interior
furnished by Jenkins Interiors of Wilkesboro, NC. The vehicle has
power windows, power seats and a power trunk. The power top system
hydraulic rams, hoses and pump are new. Safety upgrades from
original equipment include a dual master cylinder and vacuum
booster brake system to replace the original single master cylinder
Hydrovac and front disc brakes to improve stopping. Electric wipers
replace the original vacuum system. The original AM Wonder Bar
radio fills out the dash, but there is a hidden AM/FM sound system.
