Series 62
The Series 62 was based on the GM C-body that was shared with the Cadillac 60S, Buick 50 and 70, Olds
90. All 1946 Cadillacs like those of all the major manufacturers were a continuation of pre-war styling and
engineering. 1947 models featured minor facelift styling changes. For 1948 and 1949 the series was based
on the same wheelbase as the Series 61. It was therefore identical to the Series 61 with the exception of
trim. For 1950 the Series was more distinctive than the Series 61, being based on a longer wheelbase. 1951
saw few changes from the previous year. The Series 62 had full length underscores on the rocker panels
which helped to distinguish it from the Series 61. 1952 was Cadillac's fifieth anniversary, however there
were only minor styling changes. A redesigned grille with a heavier integral bumper and bumper guards.
Production was brought to a halt in August after a fire at the Hydra-Matic Factory. Later in the production
year the Eldorado luxury convertible was added to the range. Standard equipment included hydra-matic
suspension, wraparound windshield, cut-down doors, rich leather and cloth trim, wire wells and whitewall
tires. A new longer wheelbase was introduced for the Series 62 in 1954. Models were lower and sleeker
than previously. Few changes were seen on 1955 models. In 1957 Cadillac adopted a tubular X-frame. This
added to structural rigidity to the models. By using three center frame sections, three different overall
measurements were available in the range. The Sedan DeVille was bigger than the standards models and
the Eldorado derivatives were larger still. The Coupe DeVille and Sedan DeVille models had special
nameplates on the front fenders. The Eldorado Brougham of 1957 was introduced to compete with the
Lincoln Continental MkII. The 1958 models were essentially carryover models till the 1959 range and
featured little change.

war styling and engineering. Each door was 2 inches wider than the standard Series 60 models. It is easily
identified by the four louvers on the rear roof pillar. 1947 models featured a new Fleetwood ornament on
the trunk. With the extensive restyling of the Cadillac range the Fleetwood Special can be identified by the
eight louvers on the rear fender. Changes matched those of the other Series 60 models. In 1952 Fleetwood
appeared on the rear deck instead of Cadillac.

Generally the Convertibles from this era are the most valuable. Generally 100% more than 2 door hardtop
models, which in turn are more valuable than 4 door models. Up to 1953 the most valuable model is the
1946 62 Convertible. 1953 was the launch of the Eldorado convertible, these are now worth in the region of
$100,000 and clearly the most desirable Cadillac of this era to own.
