This 1950 Cadillac Series 62 convertible is finished in black over red upholstery and is powered by a 331ci V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Features include chrome trim and bumpers, a tan soft top, an AM radio, a heater, power windows, and whitewall tires. The car was acquired by the seller in 2005, and rebuilds of the engine and transmission were reportedly performed under their ownership.
The Series 62 was restyled for the 1950 model year and featured a single-piece curved windshield, revised rear panel styling, additional chrome trim, and a larger front grille compared to the 1949 model. This example is one of 6,986 convertibles produced for the model year. Features include an antenna, a driver-side mirror, and a fuel filler cap mounted behind the left taillight. The tan soft top was reportedly installed under the seller’s ownership along with a matching top boot.
The red-painted steel wheels wear full chrome covers and are mounted with 8.20-15 BFGoodrich Silvertown bias-ply whitewall tires. A matching spare wheel and tire with a baby moon hubcap are mounted in the trunk. Stopping power is provided by hydraulic drums at all four corners.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in red upholstery along with matching door panels and carpets as well as a two-tone painted steel dash. Features include power windows, a heater, an AM radio, a clock, and black floor mats.
The three-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and fronts a 110-mph speedometer and auxiliary gauges. The five-digit odometer shows 91k miles.
The 331ci V8 is equipped with a single carburetor and was factory rated at 160 horsepower, which is sent to the rear wheels via a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. The engine and transmission are said to have been rebuilt under current ownership.
