1949 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible - Beautiful AZ Car - Only 56k
Miles - Must See!This 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is in
excellent condition, both inside and out. It appears to have been
very well maintained throughout its life, receiving only a light
cosmetic restoration and showing just 56K miles, which are believed
to be original. We acquired this car from a gentleman's estate in
Lake Havasu, AZ. He purchased the car over 20 years ago at a
Barrett-Jackson auction in the same condition you see it today.
These '49 Cadillacs are highly desirable due to their new OHC V8
engine and are hard to find in such wonderful condition. Driving a
well-preserved vintage Cadillac is an unparalleled experience-they
truly drive like a dream.It's finished in stunning black with
beautiful chrome and a new saddle canvas top. The red leather
interior is also in excellent condition and seems to be mostly
original or was restored using exact OEM leather hides. In either
case, it has been very well cared for and stored properly. All the
chrome and trim inside, including the dash and a flawless steering
wheel, are in beautiful condition. The more you look at the car,
the more signs of originality you find, supporting the low mileage
it displays.Mechanically, this car runs and drives beautifully,
cruising down the road as if on a cloud. After being in long-term
storage, we went through the entire fuel system, gave it a full
tune-up, and rebuilt the hydraulic system for the power top and
windows. The car has a great unique look that really makes it stand
out, with a slightly lowered suspension and sitting on a set of
polished American Racing Torq Thrust II wheels. Overall, this is an
awesome car and a very fun driver. Don't wait, as it won't last
long, and finding another like it would be
difficult!Highlights:1949 Cadillac "Series 62" ConvertibleOnly 56k
