This 1962 Cadillac Series 62 convertible was refurbished prior to 2018 and modified with the installation of a later-model Cadillac 500ci V8, which is linked to a TH400 three-speed automatic transmission. Finished in red over red leather, the car is equipped with an Edelbrock carburetor, a power-operated white convertible top, power steering, power-assisted brakes, wheel covers, power windows, and a power-adjustable front seat. The selling dealer acquired the vehicle out of an estate in early 2024. This Series 62 is now offered in Oregon with an Idaho title.
