1946 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible CoupeI don’t like to call cars ‘perfect’ or ‘flawless’ but this one is pretty darned close.Following World War II, there was enormous pent-up demand for new cars. However, due to strikes and steel shortages, most automakers, Cadillac included, found it difficult to fill all their orders; even with prices a staggering 45% above their 1942 levels, they sold every car they could build. In a short production year, fewer than 30,000 Cadillacs of all types were built, and of those, only 1343 were Series 62 convertible coupes. Fortunately, 1946 Cadillacs were worth the premium, with numerous upgrades to the powertrain, all learned during the war where the Cadillac flathead V8 and Hydra-Matic transmission were used to power tanks. Styling evolved with a simpler grille and wrap-around bumpers, and thanks to an all-new design in 1942, the look was still fresh and up-to-date This 1946 Series 62 convertible coupe offers a recent frame-off restoration but not compel . Finished in its original Madiera Maroon with a maroon top and -, it’s the epitome of post-war style and performance. The long front fenders that extend into the doors, the famous eggcrate grille, and the restrained use of chrome all make it easy to identify the top-of-the-line Cadillac. Finish quality is quite good, with ultra-straight bodywork and no hidden surprises underneath. The two-stage urethane paint looks both subtle and spectacular depending on the light, but either way, the finish is first-rate. There’s no evidence of large.
