The process will begin within 3-5 business days after full payment (vehicle price + 3% auction fee). Shipping up to 2,000 miles is included in the total price, and the payment must be received and cleared before proceeding.This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible is a timeless symbol of 1950s American luxury and style, finished in its original pale pink paint and complemented by elegant white leather upholstery. Powered by a 365ci V8 engine paired with a smooth Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission, this classic cruiser delivers a premium driving experience. Its power-operated white soft top, power-assisted steering, power drum brakes, and power windows enhance comfort and ease of use, making it a refined and enjoyable vintage automobile.
The car’s history is equally impressive—purchased by the seller’s father-in-law in 1963, it was involved in a rear-end collision in the 1970s, after which replacement rear bodywork was installed. The car was then repainted in its current pink hue in the 1990s. The seller inherited the vehicle in 1988 and has maintained it with care, completing additional refurbishment work during the 1990s and performing service since 2019, including the installation of a new water pump, fuel pump, aluminum radiator, battery, tires, and brake service.
The car boasts 85,000 miles on the odometer, with approximately 1,000 miles driven under the current owner. The interior features a power-adjustable front bench and rear seats trimmed in white leather, with color-matched door panels and black carpets. The car is equipped with power windows, a heater and defroster, and an AM radio (intermittently working). The Autronic Eye headlight dimmer has not been in use under the seller’s ownership, and there is a crack in the dash pad. Notably, the car is offered with several spare parts, including missing upholstery buttons and spare trim pieces.
