48Cadillac 62 Convertible


1948 Cadillac 62 Convertible

Obviously inspired by the "streamline" craze of the day. this is the only year Cadillac offered this look although they continuted the "62" series of cars on into the 50's. Powered by the famous V-8 L-head with 346 cubic inches and 150 horspower. The Series 62 was now on the same wheelbase as the lowest priced line making the club coupe and sedan practically identical to similar models in the Series 61 range, except for trim and appointments. Distinguishing features included grooved, bright metal front fender gravel guards, rocker panel brightwork, chevron style chrome slashes below taillights and slightly richer interior trim. The convertible coupe was an exclusive offering in this line. A more DeLuxe interior was featured and power window lifts were standard on the convertible coupe and optional with other styles.
