For the young at heart, the spirited Sixty Two convertible stands out as the "Car of Cars"...even among Cadillacs." Lofty prose from the sales brochure of the era.

For auction at no reserve, a 1963 Cadillac Series 62 showing 91,093 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car presents in barn find condition and has no keys.

Exterior
Once ebony black, this former luxury convertible now has weather paint with fading and surface rust, along with rust through most notably on the rocker panels, chrome bumper, and along the front edge of the hood. There are wisps of greatness here, particularly in the stainless capped fins where the red tail light lenses still reside, flanking an enormous decklid. The rear quarter panel and fender may be one the longest continual stretches of sheet metal we've seen outside of trucks, and it's augmented with fender skirts covering the 15-inch wheels.

Interior
There's enough interior here to recognize that this was a spectacular car at one time with red leather with biscuit button tufting on the split bench and voluminous rear seats. The doors are also dressed in red with robust hardware and brushed nickel faceplates. Up front, the dash is weathered but intact and the stalks from the column, including the shifter, are beginning to rust. The red steering wheel is cracked in several places. All front glass including the vent windows, appear to be intact.

Drivetrain
It's now coated with a layer of surface rust, but the 390ci V8 still resides under the enormous hood and was originally rated at 325 horsepower, fueled via a 4-barrel carburetor. A HydraMatic 4-speed automatic transmission is onboard and would send power to the rear axle and 2.94 gears.

Undercarriage
The power plant utilizes a single exhaust system and stock style muffler while power drums are supplied on all four wheels. Suspension consists of coil springs front and rear with a 4 link beefing things up in back.

Drive-Ability
Even if it could run, there are no keys associated with this former boulevard cruiser.
