Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

Biarritz Sport And Classic Cars (BSCC) is pleased to present this 1961 Cadillac Series 62, presented in an elegant and particularly desirable configuration, benefiting from a very large number of options, rare for the period.

Deeply restyled for the 1961 model year, the Cadillac Series 62 introduced a new, sharper and more modern line, while retaining the typical exuberance of the great American cars of the early 1960s. Powered by its legendary 390ci Cadillac V8 developing 325hp, paired with a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, it offered exceptional driving comfort as well as remarkable ease over long distances.

This example stands out for its particularly refined presentation as well as for its significant level of equipment including notably power steering, power brakes, power windows, power bench seat, the period radio, Cadillac electrical accessories as well as numerous comfort and finishing options typical of the brand’s high-end models.

The bodywork displays the emblematic lines of the 1961 model year with its large chrome grille, its dual front headlights as well as its elegant rear fins, more restrained than the previous generations. The interior offers a typically American atmosphere blending chrome, leather upholstery and horizontal instrumentation with a characteristic design.

The engine runs perfectly and delivers all the smoothness expected from the Cadillac V8. The automatic gearbox ensures smooth gear changes and the car proves particularly pleasant to drive, both for leisurely outings and for more regular use. In addition, the last owner maintained this car with care. He completely rebuilt the engine block, the ignition system, and the heating system.

An iconic Cadillac, symbol of American luxury of the 1960s, ideal for any collector looking for an elegant example, perfectly representative of Cadillac craftsmanship from this era.
