The Series 62 by Cadillac was built from 1940 through 1964 across seven generations of design. The third generation of the Series 62 was built from 1948 through 1953 and like every other manufacturer during this recent postwar time, they were slow to get off the assembly lines. However, February 1948, the first cars rolled off sporting tail fins inspired by the Lockheed P-38 fighter plane. They would still use the flat-head V8's of pre war until 1949 when they changed to a standard V8 with 331 Cubic inches of displacement producing 160 HP. Although this Cadillac that we are representing appears to be original, There is definitely been an engine upgrade and also transmission from what we can tell. This is a really cool car with some modern amenities, engine, trans, cooling and vintage A/C and heat along with radio. Looks the same but drives better. The paint was done some time ago but still shows nicely and is a treat to drive down the road. We welcome and inspections or questions that you may have. These are becoming harder and harder to find.
