  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
