Gorgeous 1962 Caddy Deville Convertible Here's my 62 Convertible Caddy. one car I never thought I'd let go. It's won awards at car shows and gotten cash offers at nearly every cruise night I've brought it to. Fans of this body style Caddy know that the 62 is particularly stylish; the taillight treatments and "double fins" in the rear make this a uniquely stunning classic. According to Hagerty and several other classic car sources. a 1962 Cadillac Convertible in this condition is worth anywhere from $44. 00 to $68. 00. so my asking price is reasonable. 108k. 390 V8. Options include six way power bench seat. power windows. power top. color coded hubcaps. power brakes and power steering. Caddy convertibles from this era are steadily climbing in value. especially the 1961 and 1962 body styles. This is from Hagerty. com:"Cadillac continued to list its premium Series 62 hardtops as "de Ville" models through 1964. While the spectacular ’59s entertained with their astounding tailfins. the ’60 Coupe de Villes exhibited exquisite form. From 1959 on. Sedan de Villes were offered in four-window and six-window models. with the four-window editions featuring especially attractive rooflines. The deeply sculpted ’61 de Ville models sported dramatic space-age styling with racy. thin-pillar rooflines and rocket-inspired fins. complemented by lower-body "skeg lines. ” 1962 models were readily distinguished by their more formal rooflines. Smoothly unadorned flanks gave the 1963 editions a fresh infusion of what chief designer Chuck Jordan called ”the grace and spirit" of all great Cadillacs. Along with exterior refinements for 1964. a new 340-hp 429-cid engine replaced the 390-cid variants of 1959-63. and the Turbo-Hydramatic was introduced. With the exception of the universally cherished ’59s. de Villes of this era are relatively affordable today. As period Cadillac convertible values climb with the speed of an Atlas rocket. any top-notch hardtop or convertible DeVille looks all the more appealing today. "Mechanical: the Caddy has always been meticulously cared for. all service and regular maintenance have been performed on schedule. I bought the Caddy from a older collector in Kentucky. he's had it in his heated garage since the mid 70's. I was told the 108k on the odometer is original. my mechanic thinks it is genuine as well. The engine was rebuilt in the mid 90's. under 10k on motor. The engine compartment was painted when the rebuild was done. Recent work includes extensive front end work. brake system completely gone through (including upgrading to dual chamber master cylinder). rebuilt carburetor. refurbished radiator. full tuneup and new belts and hoses. The power windows work perfectly (driver's window is a bit slow) and the power top raises and lowers manually; the motor has been disconnected. One person can raise and lower it easily. The top was replaced about seven years ago with a premium color matched canvas top. The lights work. the heater works. the radio works through the front and rear speakers. the power antenna works and the power seat works. Clock does not work. gas gauge can be finicky. "trumpet" horn works. No leaks from anywhere. garage floor always dry when I pull her out. Cosmetic: The photos you see hear do not do the car justice. she's dusty from months in the garage. I should have new pix with the car cleaned up shortly. The Caddy got new paint in 2000 in the original pearly white with nice color coded striping. It glitters nicely in the sunshine and the body is straight as an arrow. The door panels. carpet and seats were redone as well all matched to factory color and style. the leather and vinyl are supple and the seats are cushy. The car has never seen winter. it's always been a "Garage Queen". All the glass is in very good shape. except for the windshield. it's got a "wiper scratch"; new windshield included with sale. The chrome is original and shines nicely. no pitting or dullness. The Caddy starts right up even after sitting for months and the engine has a nice purr. Runs very strong. tracks straight as an arrow and brakes evenly. no pulling or fading. She idles perfectly. temperature needle never varies. shifts smoothly. tracks straight. stops easily and the suspension is luxurious. Simply a pleasure on the highway. it handles well for a car of this size. Drives overall like an American classic luxury cruiser should. Overall a beautiful example of a classic American convertible. On the highway she'll get 13-15 MPG. pretty good for an early 60's luxury cruiser. The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly as well as the wipers and horn. I'm only selling due to finances. I reserve the right to end the auction early as the Caddy is for sale locally and I'm open to reasonable buy it now offers as well. I can assist with shipping in the USA or internationally if necessary. cost of shipping to paid by buyer. I can recommend a door to door auto shipper I've used in the past; they're professional. reliable and have great rates. Rare classic Cadillac which will only appreciate in value.
