After the infamous 1959 Cadillac tail fins GM decided to enter the new decade with a "bigger isn't necessary better" philosophy and the 1960 Cadillac was given a slightly less dramatic fin when compared to the tacked on twin pod lamps used in '59. Less chrome also was to slowly become an industry standard and it was now used primarily as a body highlight and not purely for decoration. Powertrains remained the same as the in '59 although this was the last year that a 2barrel or 3x2 barrel 'Tri-Power' carburetor was offered. This would also be the last year for the wrap around windshield styling. In 1960 Cadillac was the ultimate GM jewel outselling Lincoln, Chrysler & Imperial combined!
The Harley Earl designed Cadillac Series 62 was a large luxurious Cadillac that could easily carry six people and had a power top, air suspension and featured a large 6,390 cc (390 c.i.) V8 engine with drum brakes. The marque was discontinued in 1964.
This car is very striking in it's 'Red' color paint with a beautifully original matching 'Red' color leather interior and it's factory tonneau cover and a correct 'White' color power soft top! The floor boards, trunk and all the typical rust-prone areas are solid and rust-free. No expense has been spared on this car's recent preventive maintenance history and includes being upgraded to power front disc brakes, new master cylinder & booster kit, new front & rear shocks, replace brake lines to split system, replace exhaust manifold, rebuild carb, replace points & condenser & ignition coil, R&R trans rear main seal, reseal steering gear box, R&R power steering pump, replace wheel cylinders, new convertible top & 4 new 235/75R15 WW tires!
The car has it's original 390 V8 engine which is extremely strong and powerful and sounds absolutely magnificent and this particular car also drives absolutely magnificently - it must really be seen and driven to be fully appreciated - a truly remarkable daily driver that will give any modern day car a run for it's money!
This is a rare opportunity to own a great daily driving and rust free example of a rare mostly unrestored and original survivor 1960 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible! A striking example which is a perfect car for the Cadillac enthusiast who would appreciate it simply as a great daily driving and turn-key ready example of one very fine classic 1960's American classic car for any classic American classic car collector!
