BODY OVERVIEW: This 1947 Cadillac Series 62 sedan presents a unique and captivating appeal. The original body has been carefully stripped of its paint, allowing the bare metal to be showcased and proof that there is no Bondo in this rare car. This approach highlights the car's original body lines and offers a distinct and raw aesthetic that sets it apart from conventional restorations. The overall body condition is nice, showcasing the car's well-preserved originality. The advantage to this is you get a unique styling that you aren’t going to see everywhere.
PAINT CONDITION OVERVIEW: Rather than conventional paint, this Cadillac features a clear coat applied over the bare metal. This treatment not only preserves the original body's charm but also protects it from the elements. The absence of traditional paint reveals the car's history and patina, adding to its vintage appeal. Black is believed to be the original shade, as seen in areas such as the door jambs.
INTERIOR CONDITION OVERVIEW: The interior of this Series 62 sedan appears to have been redone in white. The exact details of the preservation are not known, but from visual inspection, the interior showcases a tasteful and well-executed renovation. The upholstery, door panels, and other interior elements have been refreshed, creating an inviting and comfortable space for both driver and passengers.
MECHANICAL OVERVIEW: Equipped with a 3-speed manual transmission and powered by a correct Cadillac 346 cubic inch V8 engine, this Cadillac Series 62 offers a vintage driving experience. This classic combination of transmission and engine provides a smooth and engaging driving experience, characteristic of vehicles from this era. It’s till a 6-volt battery, but it fires up very quickly and impressed us when we took it around the block.
WHAT YOU'LL LOVE ABOUT THIS CAR: This 1947 Cadillac Series 62 sedan stands out with its stripped-down body, revealing the original beauty of the metal. The clear coat treatment preserves the car's originality while offering protection.
