1958 CADILLAC SERIES 62 COUPE
VIN: 58G068327
The Cadillac Series 40-62
is a series of cars which was produced by Cadillac from 1940 through 1964.
Originally designed to complement the entry level Series 61, it became the
Cadillac Series 6200 in 1959, and remained that until it was renamed to Cadillac
Calais for the 1965 model year. The Series 62 was also marketed as the
Sixty-Two and the Series Sixty-Two. The Series 62 was used to introduce the
Cadillac Coupe de Ville and the Cadillac Eldorado which started out as special
appearance packages that were later placed into production.
Fifth generation
(1957–1958)
For 1958, there was a new
grille featuring multiple round "cleats" at the intersection of the
horizontal and vertical members. The grille insert was wider and new bumper
guards were positioned lower to the parking lamps. New dual headlamps were used
and small chrome fins decorated the front fenders. Tailfins were less
pronounced and trim attachments were revised. The word Cadillac appeared in
block letters on the fins of base models. On the sides of the car were five
longer horizontal wind splits ahead of the unskirted rear wheel housing and
front fender horizontal mouldings with crests placed above the trailing edge
and no rocker sill trim. Standard equipment on all Series 62s was the same as
the previous year.
I’m selling this for a very good friend, he
purchased the car in 2016, he is only the third owner of this super original
classic with only a mere 20k miles on the odometer. The second owner purchased
the car from the original owner’s estate, he was aware of the car and purchased
it from the estate with the intent to sell, the car had sat from 1986 to 2016
in that garage.
When the car was purchased by the current
owner all fluids were flushed, the exhaust was replaced, all new shocks. The
fuel system was overhauled, and the 365 cid single 4bbl runs strong and quiet. This
car is very original, original paint, original interior, and as you know they
are only original once.
The car has some flaws, a few minor dings,
some cracking of the laquer paint on the top of fenders and hood, very minor. We
have the passenger side rocker moulding trim, it is currently off the car.
