Overview

One of just 3,950 Eldorado convertibles produced for 1955, this Cadillac Series 62 Eldorado (Model 6267SX) represents the pinnacle of mid-century American luxury and design. Repainted in Bahama Blue over a blue leather interior, this example benefits from an older professional restoration and presents as a highly usable, show-ready driver. Distinguished by its gold “V” badging, Sabre-Spoke chrome wheels, and signature Eldorado styling cues, it is equipped with a host of factory features including power steering, brakes, windows, and convertible top, along with a signal-seeking radio, Autronic Eye headlight dimmer, and automatic heating system.

Under the hood lies a numbers-matching 331 cubic-inch V8 fitted with the desirable “Power Pack” dual Rochester 4-barrel carburetors, producing 270 horsepower. Stated to start readily, pull strong, and deliver remarkably smooth road manners with no undue vibrations or hesitation, its 4-speed Dual Range Hydra-Matic transmission connects engine output to the rear wheels. Mechanically sorted and clearly well cared for, it retains its original spare wheel, jack, T3 headlamps, and factory parade boot, with all major power accessories reported to function as intended.

Long garaged and preserved, the car exhibits solid, rust-free floors and structure, with no evidence of prior accident damage. The Bahama Blue repaint remains vibrant, complemented by a well-kept upholstery showing light patina. As both a refined cruiser and a compelling collector’s piece, this Eldorado offers a chance to acquire a highly desirable example of Cadillac’s flagship 1950s convertible.
