OVERVIEW
This 1958 Cadillac Series 62 is an older cosmetic restoration that was previously owned by the same family for 40 years. It is powered by a period-correct 365ci Cadillac V8 engine backed by a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. Power features include the convertible top, windows, brakes, front seat, and steering. Additional features include air conditioning, a Wonderbar AM radio, and the Autronic Eye headlight system. Finished in black with a white convertible top over a red and white leather interior, this Cadillac convertible is available now and comes from the selling dealer with uninstalled parts, owner’s manuals, maintenance records and records, a car cover, various tools, additional literature, and a clear title.
EXTERIOR – FEATURES
The exterior received a cosmetic restoration and the body was refinished in its original color of black under previous ownership. The selling dealer states that the exterior chrome was replated and the stainless trim was restored several years ago. Features include chrome bumpers, wheel well and rocker trim, a manual remote driver-side mirror, a power white convertible top with a white boot and a plastic rear window, E-Z-Eye tinted glass, and dual bumper-exit exhaust outlets. There are fine swirl marks and minor blemishes in the paint and the rearview mirror housing and door handles show signs of light pitting, according to the selling dealer.
EXTERIOR - WHEELS AND TIRES
A set of chrome 15-inch Cadillac Sabre wheels is wrapped in 820-15 U.S. Royal Safety 800 bias-ply whitewall tires.

The leather power front bench seat, matching rear seat, trim, and door panels are upholstered in red and white. Features include power steering, power brakes, power windows, air conditioning, a power seat, a Wonderbar AM radio with a rear speaker, the Autronic Eye, a day/night rearview mirror, and a passenger vanity mirror.

A 120-mph speedometer, a clock, and gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature are located ahead of the driver. The odometer reads 85,944 miles, which is accurate, according to the selling dealer.

This was my first car. I had a 1958 white 62 series convertible with black leather upholstery. I was 17 years old and a senior in high school. I paid $1100.00 for it in 1964 from a used car dealer. My teachers would make comments about it all the time. I sold it two years later for $500.00!
