Description : Gateway Classic Cars Houston Showroom is pleased to present this classic 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Hardtop Coupe. For 1957, Cadillac's new "X-braced frames" gave them a platform with increased stiffness and safety, as well as new sheetmetal designs that captured the hearts of luxury car buyers, which resulted in Cadillac outpacing Lincoln almost 4:1 in sales. This Series 62 hardtop coupe is finished in a muted color scheme: with its white top over the light green (think "Seafoam Green") body, it just oozes "vintage luxobarge" from every pore. To make up for the sedate colors, there is plenty of chrome to go around! And, when that massive front grille appears in someone's rearview mirror, it will encourage them to move over and let this bad boy pass. Powered by a 365 CID V8 that was rated at 300HP, along with a smooth-shifting automatic transmission, this Caddy is ready to motor down the highway. Inside, it has gray woven cloth seating surfaces, which are augmented by white vinyl trim for a nice contrast. The carpet and headliner are in decent shape, and the blue over gray over white door and dash color scheme adds a nice touch. This '57 Cadillac Series 62 comes with Power Brakes, Power Steering, and Power Windows, which all serve to make driving this yacht a pleasure. Call our Houston Showroom - we'll be happy to help you land this whale!
1957 Cadillac Series 62 365 CID V8 is listed for sale on ClassicDigest in Houston by Gateway Classic Cars - Houston for $39000.
