Cadillac's Series 62 model was in production from 1940 to 1964, the first generation of which boasted a low sleek torpedo-style body penned by that doyen of American designers Harley Earl. It featured a heavily slanted two-piece windscreen and a notably curved rear window. Power came from a 346ci (5.7-litre) Monobloc V8 engine driving through either a three-speed manual or four-speed automatic gearbox. First year sales of the model totalled 5,903 - ie some 45 percent of Cadillac's total. This 1941 lefthand drive example has recently been imported from Florida. It is a well presented older restoration in the attractive colour combination of Silver over Red, and rides on wire wheels shod with White-walled tyres. It's presently considered by the vendor to have 'very good' bodywork and paintwork, and 'good' Grey interior trim, engine and transmission. Offered complete with US Title from 1990 (stating the mileage as 54,000, although now displaying 58,435), the Caddy was reportedly with the previous and believed second keeper for over 25 years. The Vendor advises an application for UK registration is currently under way.
