Beschreibung

Unusually well-equipped Series Sixty-Two, which was Cadillac's entry-level model. The fourth generation of the Series 62 debuted in 1954. This particular example features green-tinted windows, power windows, power front seat, power steering, Autronic Eye (automatic headlight dimming), and a radio.

The Cadillac was imported from California, USA in 2008. Since then, considerable care has gone into improving the car. A full binder of receipts documenting the work done is included. Notable highlights include: roof repaint and general touch-up in 2009, new fuel tank in 2014, new wheel bearings all around in 2015, rebuilt master brake cylinder in 2024, and rebuilt steering gear in 2015. A new exhaust system was installed in 2009, a new alternator in 2012, and the engine was painted in 2010 with cylinder heads refurbished in 2009.

New rubber seals for doors and trunk were also fitted—during which the doors and trunk lid were removed for proper paintwork in the door jambs and trunk interior.

New Cooker whitewall tires (235/75-15) were fitted in 2015. The windshield wipers were upgraded to electric operation in 2018. The speedometer was refurbished by Instrument JIGE AB in 2018. The car has had four owners in Sweden, with the current owner purchasing it in 2017. The exact mileage since new is unknown.

As the car is now used less frequently, the owner has decided to pass it on to the next Cadillac enthusiast. A spare wheel and a full binder of receipts are included.

Beurteilung Fahrzeugzustand

  • Zustand technisch:

    Equipped with a 331 V8 rated at 229 hp, the engine starts easily and sounds just right. It runs quietly and smoothly on the road with no unusual noises. The 4-speed automatic transmission features the characteristic Hydra-Matic shift pattern, where the transition between 2nd and 3rd gear feels fairly firm and pronounced. Also equipped with power steering, an alternator, and a detachable tow hitch approved for up to 1,500 kg.

  • Zustand Interieur:

    The entire interior is in excellent condition and was refurbished in Sweden in 2008. The front bench seat and window lifts are electrically operated. The speedometer was refurbished in 2018, displaying speed in km/h and distance in miles. The gear indicator markings do not perfectly align with the actual gear positions—replacement with a correct indicator is recommended.

    A modern stereo system is discreetly installed in the glove compartment, delivering good sound through a subwoofer under the front seat and speakers in the rear shelf. The Autronic Eye is present but its functionality is uncertain. An additional oil pressure gauge is installed but not connected; the original oil pressure warning light works properly.

  • Zustand Exterieur:

    According to available information, most of the paint—except for the roof, which was resprayed in 2009—is the original cellulose finish. It retains a shine but is polished through to the primer in many areas, with some touch-ups done. A paint sealant has been applied to preserve the charmingly worn look. See photos.

    The center section of the rear bumper has been re-chromed; otherwise, the chrome appears to be original and shows a patinated condition. Green-tinted windows all around, with a crack in the left rear side window—see photo. The body is straight with even panel gaps typical for the era. New Cooker whitewall tires (235/75-15) were installed in 2015. The visible parts of the underbody (as seen without a lift) appeared to be in very good condition—see photos.

  • Zustand gesamt:

    The car comes across as charming, authentic, and solid—perfect for cruising and classic car meets.

Fakten zum Modell

Cadillac was the obvious choice for Hollywood celebrities in the 1950s. Marilyn Monroe received a 1954 Series 62 Convertible as payment for her appearance on Jack Benny’s CBS television show.
In 1955, Elvis Presley purchased a 1954 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60, which he and the Blue Moon Boys used as a tour car. Most famously, the car was pink—his iconic "Pink Cadillac."

Auktionsinfo

General information about the condition of the vehicles .
  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
Important to know before placing your bids!
  • Once you have called in an item and the reservation price is reached we want you to deposit the entire purchase amount into our client funds account before retrieval can take place.
  • When you need to retrieve a called in object we want you to examine it carefully. If you consider that the item does not match our description you do not need to complete the purchase. In this case the deposited purchase sum and the entry fee are refunded.
  • If you do not examine the item on the spot the call charge will be debited, but you do not have to complete the deal.
  • If you make the entire purchase exclusively at a distance you have 14 days to cancel, but must return the item at your own expense.
  • Your shipping costs and other costs are not reimbursed when the right of withdrawal is exercised. Swedish court applies.
