This Cadillac Series 62 got away, but there are more like it here.

1962 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

Sold for $35,500 on 8/31/20

This 1962 Cadillac Series 62 convertible was built in March 1962 and was delivered new in Nevada Silver with a Light Sandalwood soft top over Saddle leather. Its 390ci V8 is paired with a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, and additional factory equipment includes steel wheels with hubcaps, a power-adjustable front bench seat, power windows, and an AM radio. The car reportedly was acquired by the selling dealer from its second owner in February 2020, and the oil has since been changed. This Series 62 convertible is now offered in Illinois with manufacturer’s literature and a clean Pennsylvania title.

The car was delivered new in Nevada Silver (14) with a Light Sandalwood (6) soft top. Discoloration is noted in the paint, and each side of the car is shown in the photo gallery below.

Steel wheels wear hubcaps and whitewall tires. The selling dealer states that the tie-rod ends and the shocks were recently replaced.

The cabin features front and rear bench seats with Saddle leather (25) upholstery. Factory equipment includes a power-adjustable front seat, power windows, three-speed windshield wipers, and an AM radio.

A two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of factory instrumentation that includes a horizontal 120-mph speedometer flanked by temperature and fuel-level gauges. The five-digit odometer shows just under 86k miles, although the speedometer is inoperable. The seller has ordered a replacement speedometer cable, and true mileage is unknown.

The 390ci V8 produced a factory-rated 325 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque when new. The selling dealer states that the generator and the gas tank have been replaced and that the oil was changed in preparation for the sale.

Power is delivered to the rear wheels through a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Additional photos of the underside are presented in the gallery, and the seller notes corrosion on the frame and other components.
