A stunning car in brand new condition having been the recipient of a nut & bolt rebuild in the USA. Perfect cars such as this need but few words:

The car is finished in its original colours of Mist Gray Metallic with Red Leather upholstery and a Black convertible soft-top. This Series 62 was well-optioned and cost $3,066.16 new, with Goodrich BW tyres, windscreen washer, wheel discs, license frames, automatic heat control, fog lights, and a vanity mirror. The vehicle retains all of these options, bar the original tyres, and its current paintwork and interior are as per the factory body tag.

This Cadillac underwent a massive restoration, by Cadillac specialists in the USA, bringing it back to factory specifications. The engine and transmission were also removed and rebuilt, with the electric and hydraulic systems tested at the same time. A full 1950 workshop manual comes with the car, plus the 1951 model year supplement.
