Frequently Asked Questions about the Cadillac Series 62

Cadillac built the Series 62 for the 1940 through 1964 model years. It arrived for 1940 in place of the previous entry-level Series 61, on a 129-inch wheelbase with a 346-cubic-inch L-head V8 rated at 135 horsepower. The Series 61 returned for 1941 as the lower-priced line after LaSalle was dropped. For 1965 the Series 62 was replaced by the Calais.
The Series 62 gained tailfins with the redesigned 1948 Cadillacs, the first production Cadillacs to wear them. The fins were inspired by the twin tails of the Lockheed P-38 Lightning fighter, which General Motors stylists had seen at Selfridge Field in Michigan. Designer Frank Hershey is credited with the idea, working under GM styling chief Harley Earl. Accounts differ on the year of the Selfridge visit.
The Series 62 received a new overhead-valve V8 for the 1949 model year. The engine displaced 331 cubic inches and was rated at 160 horsepower, replacing the 346-cubic-inch L-head V8 used since the model's 1940 launch. Cadillac enlarged the V8 to 365 cubic inches for 1956 and to 390 cubic inches for 1959, when the standard rating reached 325 horsepower.
Yes, the Coupe de Ville began as a Series 62 body style. It was introduced for 1949 as a pillarless two-door hardtop, and sources put first-year production at 2,150 or 2,151 cars. A four-door hardtop Sedan de Ville joined the Series 62 for 1956, with 41,732 sold in its first year. For 1959 Cadillac moved the De Ville models into a separate series numbered 6300.
Yes, the 1953 Eldorado was a limited-production convertible within the Series 62 line, sharing the Series 62 chassis and powertrain. Cadillac built 532 that year. It carried a wraparound windshield and a cut-down beltline that set it apart from the regular Series 62 convertible. The two-door Eldorados moved to a separate series, numbered 6400, for 1959.
For 1959 the Series 62 line was renumbered the Series 6200, and the De Ville and two-door Eldorado models were split off into their own series. The restyled cars rode a 130-inch wheelbase and wore large tailfins with twin bullet taillights. The V8 grew from 365 to 390 cubic inches, and the standard engine was rated at 325 horsepower.
The Series 62 first offered an automatic transmission for 1941, when General Motors' Hydra-Matic became an option on Cadillacs. Oldsmobile had introduced the Hydra-Matic a year earlier, for the 1940 model year. The 1941 Series 62 kept Cadillac's 346-cubic-inch L-head V8, by then rated at 150 horsepower.
The 28 Cadillac Series 62 listings on Classic Cars Arena right now are priced from $7,795 to $198,995, with a median asking price of $51,995. These are the prices sellers are asking today, not sale prices, and the figures change as cars are listed and sold.
