1957 Cadillac Series 62 Two Door Coupe

LMC is proud to offer for sale this 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe.

For generations, the Cadillac name has stood as the hallmark of all that is good and desirable in an automobile. Cadillac has long been associated with the world’s most distinguished motorists demanding luxury and performance.

In 1957, Cadillac continued their legacy of offering exclusive, expensive, stylish, and luxurious automobiles. The 1957 Cadillac Sixty-Two Coupe has a long, low-lying silhouette and was one of the more graceful designs to come from Harley Earl's GM design studio in the 1950s. This was achieved when Cadillac adopted a tubular X-frame, without side rails, on all models. The result was greater structural rigidity and provided for lower body lines without loss of useable space.  This chassis also contributed to an even quieter, smoother ride and allowed for reducing the overall height. Ball joint suspensions was a new technical feature adopted this year and as a result the car virtually hugged the road. New front end styling was marked by rubber bumper guard tips and dual, circular parking lamps set into the lower bumper section.  Identifying the "standard" 62 models were vertical bright metal moldings, just forward of the rear wheel openings, highlighted by seven horizontal wind splits.  At the upper end this fender trim joined a horizontal molding that ran along a conical flare extending forward from the dual tail light theme which was used throughout the line.  A crest medallion was seen on the forward angled ‘shark-style’ rear fins. The rear fender and deck contour was sleekly rounded and the wheel housing was trimmed with broad, sculptured stainless steel beauty panels. The stylish rear bumper had built-in outlets for the dual exhaust.

The General Motors advertisements back in the day suggested – ‘It has been rightly said the only true way to judge a Cadillac is to measure it against – a Cadillac!’

Sold new back on October 28, 1957, this fine Cadillac was delivered to a Mr. Raymond Higgins by Barnard Motors Inc. of Portland Oregon. Eye catching in the beautiful two-tone combination of Tahoe Blue with Alpine White Top, these colors certainly highlight the famous Cadillac look.

The interior invites you into a world of Cadillac comfort with the seating area in wonderful restored condition. Trim code combination designates the Cadillac Medium Blue Neptune Pattern Cloth & Medium Blue Cloth Upholstery that truly inspires anyone enjoying the exceptional ride of the big Cadillac.  This is the styling artistry of an era that only Cadillac could provide. Beautiful chrome wheels, shod in wide whitewall radial tires, are the finishing touch.
