Gateway Classic Cars of Nashville is proud to digitally present
this 1949 Cadillac Series 62. The word of the day is Patina. The
number of cars I have seen that have tried to get the patina look
right and missed should study this car. One of the reasons this
Patina paint looks so good is it is just that, patina! Not paint
sprayed on and rubbed off, this is the real deal and i would not
change a thing with the paint.
Under the hood, a 331 Cubic inch V8 engine ensures that this
classic vehicle is not just a showpiece, but a reliable ride. The
automatic transmission provides smooth gear changes.
The Cadillac Series 62 has what is believed to be the original AM
radio, mohair interior and even the headliner appears to be
original. Finding cars this original and in such good shape is not
an easy thing to do and this one looks like it appeared out of a
time warp.
The vehicle's aesthetic is further enhanced by its classic hub caps
and radial tires, all wrapped in wide white walls. These features
not only add to the overall charm of the Cadillac Series 62 but
also provide a smooth and comfortable ride.
In this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 you have a car that was revived not
restored and by that i mean, the driveline was checked, plugs
wires, etc under the hood replaced, new brake lines and shoes. New
muffler. The current owner wanted a driver and did the necessity to
be safe on the road, the rest he left as was including the bakelite
steering wheel paint and interior. With this car a little soap and
water and a new carpet will make a world of difference but that
might be all I would change.
