This 1954 Cadillac Series 62 sedan is finished in black over green, cream, and gray and was sold new at Quick Motors in Watertown, New York on July 27, 1954. It is powered by a 331ci V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission, and features include power steering, power brakes, a chrome grille, and bumpers, full wheel covers, a push-button AM/FM radio, reverse lamps, whitewall tires, a padded dash, and air conditioning. The car is said to have been refurbished in the 1990s and was featured in the 2004 edition of the Hemmings Motors News calendar before later being acquired by the seller in 2019.
The car is said to have been repainted black in the 1990s. Details include fender skirts, a hood ornament, a chrome driver-side mirror, chrome bumpers, drip rails, and bright trim on the rockers, hood, doors, and fenders. The seller notes rust bubbling on the paint on the passenger rear door, and a dent in the roof and damage to the side of the vehicle has reportedly been repaired.
The 15″ steel wheels wear chrome Cadillac hubcaps and 235/75 Coker Classic Radial whitewall tires. Braking is handled by power-assisted four-wheel drums.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in gray and green cloth with cream inserts joined by matching door panels and carpet. Additional interior appointments include a push-button AM/FM radio, a heater, air conditioning, and wind wings. The interior is said to have been reupholstered during previous ownership.
The four-spoke steering wheel fronts a 110-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and temperature. The five-digit odometer indicates 52k miles.
The 331ci V8 was factory rated at 210 horsepower and 330 lb-ft of torque. The carburetor is said to have been rebuilt in June 2021.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission.
The original sales invoice from Quick Motors shows component numbers, colors, equipment, and a total price of $4,585.
