1947 CadillacSeries 62Highlights
DescriptionRESTORED 1947 CADILLAC SERIES 62 CONVERTIBLE This marvelous and desirable 1947 Cadillac S.62 Convertible Coupe is the subject of a high-quality older restoration in the 90's with receipts and has been cherished by its previous caretakers. It is a beautiful example, restored from the ground up and finished in its shade of Belden Blue over Red/Cream upholstery as per the factory build sheet and equipped with numerous desirable options. Since its restoration, it has earned a Senior Award in 1995 and has been enjoyed on the road, now displaying an appealing minimal character from use. The paintwork is excellent, with good, consistent panel fit all around. The extensive chrome and brightwork are similarly excellent and consistent with the age and high-quality nature of the restoration. It rides on period-correct wide whitewall tires and blue-painted wheels fitted with iconic "Sombrero" polished covers. The Series 62 had few peers in 1947, as the luxurious interior demonstrates so well. Original equipment includes power windows, powered top, "C" accessory group, radio and aerial, under-seat heater, and fog lights. The upholstery, while older, is supple and in excellent condition in the front and rear. Instruments and controls are factory-correct items, and the interior brightwork is excellent. The top is finished in tan canvas, all in fine order. Cadillac's 346 cubic-inch L-head V8 had roots in the pre-war era; however, it is one of the finest engines of the time, renowned for its power and durability. It was so trusted that versions were used to power various allied tanks during World War II. In civilian guise, it makes 150 horsepower, which, on this car, is sent through the optional Hydramatic automatic gearbox. The engine bay is orderly, and the V8 is well detailed in the correct shade of olive green with gloss black ancillaries and period-appropriate details and hardware. One drive in a Cadillac Series 62 of this era is enough to see why they are so highly sought after by touring enthusiasts. They offer power, comfort, and style in abundance, with the prestige of membership in groups like the CCCA. This lovely example is sure to provide miles of enjoyable motoring for its next caretaker, just as it has for the past three-quarters of a century.
