The 7th generation Cadillac 62 was restyled and re-engineered under Bill Mitchell for the 1961 model year. The new grille slanted back towards both the bumper and the hood lip, along the horizontal plan, and sat between dual headlamps. New forward slanting front pillars with non-wraparound windshield glass were seen. Standard equipment power brakes, power steering, automatic transmission, dual back up lights, windshield washer, dual speed wipers, wheel discs, plain fender skirts, outside rearview mirror, vanity mirror and oil filter. Rubberized front and rear coil springs replaced the trouble prone air suspension system. Four-barrel induction systems were now the sole power choice and dual exhaust were no longer available. A mild face lift characterized Cadillac styling trends for 1962. A flatter grille with a thicker horizontal center bar and more delicate cross-hatched insert appeared. Ribbed chrome trim panel, seen ahead of the front wheel housings in 1961, were now replaced with standard cornering lamps and front fender model and series identification badges were eliminated.
This car was the subject of an episode of the Discovery Channel, 'Wheeler Dealers, starring Edd China and Mike Brewer where repairable classics are are repaired and restored to a budget, and then sold on. This Cadillac was the subject of an extensive rebuild and respray in pearlescent green and white paintwork with hand painted pin-striping and gold leaf artwork. It sits on Ridetech air suspension and new whitewall tyres. The interior has also been restored with fresh trim in white with green alcantara headlining.
This car was offered at the H + H Brooklands Auction 8th March 2014 selling for a hammer price of £ 13664
Many thanks for a fantabulous
