Overview

Offered here at no reserve is a 1940 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 62 Convertible showing 8,700 miles, finished in dark red over a matching interior. Representing Cadillac’s newly introduced Series 62, this handsome open car combines flowing prewar styling with the marque’s renowned engineering and luxury appointments. The Series 62 debuted for 1940 as the successor to the Series 61 and was offered in a limited selection of body styles, making its convertible variant an especially appealing example of Cadillac’s prewar design.

This example has benefited from an older restoration and, according to the seller, has subsequently been enjoyed on Cadillac & LaSalle Club of America tours, local events, and pleasure drives. The seller describes it as a “very solid and confident driver,” with no known accident history, no known mechanical issues, and no fluid leaks. Its V-8 engine has been previously rebuilt, while the seller reports that the heating and air-conditioning systems operate as intended and that all interior equipment is present and functional.

Maintained in-house by the estate’s mechanics, the Cadillac is said to require no current service or repairs. Its tires are approximately four to five years old with full tread, and the seller confirms that they were replaced during their ownership. Cosmetic considerations include an antenna grommet needed in the driver-side fender, while prospective bidders are encouraged to review the accompanying photographs for additional condition details. Offered as part of an estate liquidation, this 1940 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 62 Convertible presents an appealing combination of distinctive prewar Cadillac styling, an older restoration, a rebuilt V-8, and the open-air character of a classic American luxury automobile.
