Lot 230: 1962 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

For a short time in the 1950s, American makers produced cars of unprecedented flamboyance which have become powerful emblems of an era when people faced the future with optimism. It was a time when you did not have to look at a registration plate to learn a car's age because, each year, Detroit's Big Three remodelled their entire ranges. Cadillac set the trend in those heady days of fins and chrome before a down turn in the American economy constrained manufacturers. Their fins were bigger than other makers and they featured more brightwork, yet beneath the exuberant styling were the values which made Cadillac the car to which buyers aspired. Film stars, business tycoons and senators drove Cadillacs. Build quality was of the highest order and the car was packed with features such as power steering, power hood and air conditioning which were virtually unknown in Europe. They were fabulous machines which turned heads on Day One and have turned heads ever since.This superb Monaco registered example was imported into Europe in the late 1990's and has the enormous benefit of the addition of a full disc brake system added which is highly recommended and very much common practice if possible. This obviously makes the car a much more driveable machine than in original configuration.Another excellent modern addition to the car is the Nakamichi sound system fitted throughout the car at a cost of £10,000 GBP. The installation is of a full professional specification with additional alternators and amazing sound!!Appropriately finished in Cotillion White with a matching interior this finest of American built luxury touring convertibles is ready to use and enjoy as only such a car be....top down...tunes UP!Une des plus luxurieuses voitures americaines des annes 60, cette cabriolet a benificie de l'installation des freines a disque est un stereo Nakamichi, coutant environs de £ 10,000!
