Vehicle Description
This is a gorgeous Tuxedo Black 1957 Cadillac Series 62 convertible
with rich red leather interior and a white convertible top. This
Cadillac is a smooth riding cruiser that you will enjoy heading out
on that warm sunny day with the top down and the wind in your hair.
This classic will defiantly
turn heads with it's deep shining Tuxedo black paint that matches
the original trim tag. The restoration of this Caddy restored the
soft touch red leather interior that also matches the original trim
tag. The boot cover fits incredibly well and is the correct red
color. Now lets talk about power options... This car has power
windows, power drivers seat, power steering,
power top, power trunk pull down. Under the hood you'll find the
great running original 365 cubic inch V8 engine that is surrounded
by a highly detailed engine compartment. A Cadillac wouldn't be
complete without brilliant chrome and stainless trim that
highlights the timeless, beautiful body lines and shark like fins
designed by the great Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell.Exterior:

exhaustSeventh Generation Cadillac History and Changes
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cadillac_Series_62A mild face lift
characterized Cadillac styling trends for 1962. A flatter grille
with a thicker horizontal center bar and more delicate
cross-hatched insert appeared. Ribbed chrome trim panel, seen ahead
of the front wheel housings in 1961, were now replaced with
standard cornering lamps and front fender model and series
identification badges were eliminated. More massive front bumper
end pieces appeared and housed rectangular parking lamps. At the
rear tail lamps were now housed in vertical nacelles designed with
an angled peak at the center. A vertically ribbed rear beauty panel
appeared on the deck lid latch panel. Cadillac script also appeared
on the lower left side of the radiator grille. The short-deck
hardtop Town Sedan was moved from the Series 6300 to the Series
6200, being replaced by a short-deck Sedan de Ville Park Avenue in
the Series 6300. In addition all short deck Cadillac models went
from being 6-window sedans in 1961 to 4-window sedans in 1962 and
1963. The Town Sedan would disappear in 1963, with only 4,900 sold
(of 134,572 Series 62s in all), though the Sedan de Ville Park
Avenue sold even fewer, 4,175 (out of 150,882 De Villes).[22]
Standard equipment included all of last years equipment plus remote
controlled outside rearview mirror, five tubeless black wall tires,
heater and defroster and front cornering lamps. Cadillac refined
the ride and quietness, with more insulation in the floor and
behind the firewall.American Dream Machines
