1961 Cadillac Series 62
Exterior
Best described as a cruiser that is most comfortable in the low and slow mode, the exterior is covered in matte black. Chrome accents abound and show pitting and rusting in areas of the bumpers, and brite work. Toned down but ostentatious rear fins, announces to everyone you have arrived, and you are large and in charge! With its large chromed dish wheel covers, rear fender skirts, curved greenhouse glass, and the iconic fins, this car gives off a look that is reminiscent of the Bat Mobile.
Interior
Shabby chic best describes this unrestored interior, with original leather seats showing tears, staining and soiling, door panels that are smudged and loaded with power actuators, and ashtrays somewhat dulled, and a nonexistent headliner, the interior is a bit rough. The dash is original and unrestored.
Drivetrain
A 390ci V8 graces the original patina engine bay and is topped with a single 4-barrel recently rebuilt carburetor. A TH400 automatic 3-speed automatic transmission is strapped to the back of this 390. A new generator, starter, power steering pump, belts, and master cylinder are some recent upgrades made to this engine.
Undercarriage
Plenty of heavy surface rust, and some invasive rust on a section of the frame render this car in need of some structural repairs. New front and rear shocks and springs, new brake shoes and drums all around, and new front strut bars, as well as a recent front end alignment will assure those new tires will last a good long time.
A menacing but interesting cruiser in its long, finned and uber chromed form in reasonably good exterior shape, and in need of a redux interior, mechanically sound with recent upgrades, and some rust on the frame condition.
Grab this car and put some finishing touches on her and you will be one of the coolest Caddy drivers around!
