1953 Cadillac 62 Convertible

Thanks for your interest in the Cadillac. We recently purchased the car from famed comedian Brad Garrett here in Las Vegas. Brad is an avid car collector and had owned the car for 25 years. He purchased it in Southern California in 1999. The car was beautifully restored in the 1990s and it is still in immaculate condition inside and out. We believe it to be an original California car and its straight, rust-free body is indicative of that. Its correct Gloss Green paint maintains an excellent shine and finish with only a few minor blemishes. The chrome, emblems and trim are impeccable. The interior was also restored to its original condition with leather seat upholstery. The green canvas convertible top is very good and operates smoothly. The trunk is clean and finished in correct materials. In the early 2000s he replaced the drive train with a more modern Chevrolet ZZ4 aluminum head crate motor married to a 700R4 automatic overdrive transmission. He estimated there is approximately 4,000 miles on the pair. While not original it delivers superior performance, parts availability and reliability to stock drive train. It is a clean and professional conversion. We took the liberty to re-detail the engine and compartment to make it appear as a 1950s era Cadillac engine. It definitely has made many people do a doubletake when viewing the engine! The rest of the car is stock. The Cadillac is a phenomenal driver! 1953 is arguably the finest of the of the 50s era Cadillacs. The Series 62 offers the basic look of the iconic '53 Eldorado but at a fraction of the price. As you may know, these cars rarely come available for sale.
