NO RESERVE - Gorgeous 1962 Caddy Deville Convertible

108k 390 V8. Options include six way power bench seat power windows power top color coded hubcaps power brakes and power steering. Caddy convertibles from this era are steadily climbing in value especially the 1961 and 1962 body styles.According to Hagerty and several other classic car sources a 1962 Cadillac convertible in this condition is worth anywhere from $26000 to $42000.This is from Hagerty.com:

"1962 models were readily distinguished by their more formal rooflines. Smoothly unadorned flanks gave the 1963 editions a fresh infusion of what chief designer Chuck Jordan called ”the grace and spirit" of all great Cadillacs. Along with exterior refinements for 1964 a new 340-hp 429-cid engine replaced the 390-cid variants of 1959-63 and the Turbo-Hydramatic was introduced. With the exception of the universally cherished ’59s de Villes of this era are relatively affordable today.As period Cadillac convertible values climb with the speed of an Atlas rocket any top-notch hardtop or convertible DeVille looks all the more appealing today."

Mechanical:All service and regular maintenance have been performed on schedule. The car came from Kentucky living there since the mid 70's. I was told the 108k on the odometer is original my mechanic agrees. Recent work includes extensive front end work brake system completely gone through (including upgrading to dual chamber master cylinder) rebuilt carburetor refurbished radiator full tuneup and new belts and hoses. The power windows work perfectly (driver's window is a bit slow) and the power top raises and lowers manually; the motor has been disconnected. One person can raise and lower it easily. The lights work the heater works the radio works through the front and rear speakers the power antenna works and the power seat works. Clock does not work gas gauge can be finicky "trumpet" horn works. No leaks from anywhere garage floor always dry.

Cosmetic: New paint in 2000 in the original pearly white with nice color coded striping and the top was replaced about seven years ago with a premium color matched canvas top. The door panels carpet and seats were redone as well all matched to factory color and style the leather and vinyl are supple and the seats are cushy. The car has never seen winter.All the glass is in very good shape except for the windshield it's got a "wiper scratch"; new windshield included with sale wrapped in the trunk. The chrome is original and shines nicely no pitting or dullness.

The Caddy starts right up even after sitting for months and the engine has a nice purr. Runs very strong tracks straight and brakes evenly no pulling or fading. Cruises easily on the highway handling well for a car of this size.The directional/brake/turn signal/headlights/brights work properly as well as the wipers and horn.
