"A favorite Cadillac in excellent condition."

Description

The Cadillac, as expected, is equipped with PB (power brakes), PS (power steering), a four-speed automatic transmission, and a V8 engine with a displacement of 390 cu/in. The convertible top (which is new) can be lowered with just a finger on the control button. To avoid premature wear on the rear window, it's important to ensure that it doesn't fold the wrong way when the top is lowered. The engine has been fully rebuilt by a previous owner, although there are no papers to document it, the smooth performance indicates its likelihood. The brakes and chassis have also been renovated. The tires are in good condition. The AC hasn't been tested, but it appears to be original and complete, so it should be possible to get it working after inspection. The car has been recently repainted due to its proximity to a property fire. This resulted in several minor paint damages, which, instead of being touched up with uncertain results, led to a complete repainting.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    The engine runs smoothly, and the automatic transmission shifts as it should. The power-operated convertible top functions well, but you might need to assist it a bit to ensure the rear window folds down properly.

  • Interior condition:

    Fin originalinredning som är något sliten samt någon skärskada i baksätets ryggstöd. Se bilder. Ett klassiskt fel på dessa är att solskydden inte vill hålla sig uppfällda utan de kan av tyngden plötsligt fällas ned. Så även på denna bil.

  • Exterior condition:

    In very good condition. The current owner had the car repainted due to several minor paint defects in the previous finish. New convertible top. The chrome has some pitting and a few minor damages, although these are not immediately noticeable at first glance. The chrome trim on the left front seat backrest side is worn.

  • General condition:

    A very good car that performs well in terms of engine and transmission, and it handles nicely on the road. The body and paint are in good condition. The chrome has signs of use. The mileage is unclear as the odometer may have rolled over.

Facts about the model

Cadillac's Series 62 was a long-running model series that started in 1940 and ended in 1964. The common factor during this period was primarily the name and positioning within Cadillac's model lineup. However, the foundational body design was introduced in 1959 and concluded around 1963/64. The V8 engine with a 6.4-liter/390 cu.in displacement produced 330 SAE horsepower and generated a torque of 583 Nm. This gave the car respectable performance despite its substantial size, measuring over 5.6 meters in length. The 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) sprint was estimated to take around 10.7 seconds. For comparison, a BMC Cooper S 1275 from the mid-1960s managed a similar sprint in about 11 seconds.
