Accessories The Model: In the early 1960's, you knew you have
arrived when you drove up in a new Cadillac, and there was no
better way to make a statement of confidence than to appear in a
convertible. Cadillac had first used the Series 62 designation back
in 1940 to signify a "step-up" from the basic Cadillac, if any
Cadillac can be called "basic". For the 1962 "62" convertible the
list of standard equipment was long and included power steering,
brakes, windows and front bench seat, as well as a full array of
lights for under the hood, in the trunk, under the dashboard, in
the glove box, plus back-up and even cornering lights. Priced at
$5,793 in base form there were still a few extras one could add on,
such as the Signal-Seeking Pre-selector radio at $164 or for
year-round comfort the Air-conditioning and Heater which added
another $473 to the price tag. For 1962, Cadillac had an astounding
year producing a total of 160,840 vehicles of which 16,800 were
Series 62 convertibles. The Car: This very well preserved Series 62
convertible is finished in its original color of Pompeian Red with
its correct white leather interior featuring proper red accents and
floor covering. The tight fitting white top sets off this picture
of luxury and performance from a time when Americans had their eyes
to the skies during the early days of the race in space. This
outstanding icon of success is fitted with all the Series 62
convertible's standard equipment, as well as the optional radio,
complete with power antenna, plus the very desirable
air-conditioning system. Treated to a cosmetic restoration a number
of years ago, it still presents quite well. The body panels appear
to be well aligned, just as when they left the factory, and the
chrome trim gleams in the sunlight sure to attract admiring looks
from all who gaze at the stunning lines. Described as an excellent
driver quality vehicle, you can put the top down and enjoy the open
road in a style that can only be delivered in a Cadillac. From the
massive grille up front to the "broad top-deck surface that crisply
angles down to the deck sill" this is a car that commands respect
for both the machine and the driver. With the ease of power
equipment anyone can find piloting this Cadillac to be a breeze.
Sure to be the center of attention, shouldn't you be in this
convertible's driver's seat? Additional Keys, Air Conditioning,
