1956 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe DeVille
Here's to the past they can kiss my glass. I hope she's happy with him. Here's to the girl who wrecked my world. That angel who did me in I think the devil drives a Coupe de Ville. I watched them drive away over the hill. Not against her will, I've got time to kill. Down in Brokenheartsville...Joe Nichols
Hold on tight ladies and gents, there's one cool Caddy in the house right now and it has shown up as a 1956 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe Deville. Large would be the buzzword on this 1950's big coupe. Bathed in Pecos Beige, and two toned on the top with Taupe Metallic, she sports plenty of chrome, some nifty fins and wide whites that keep this huge skate firmly attached to the road. Richly appointed with options, and a cloud like ride, we are off like a prom dress to the country club to bat some little white balls around.
Exterior
Double "D" Dagmars lead the way and have an egg crate style chromed grille behind them and a surrounding chrome trimming above and a bumper below. All this wraps around the front quarters and continues with a very tasteful below the belt line trim with Cadillac crest badging in gold just above. Through the door it streaks and on the rear quarter makes a sharp turn upward and forms a faux vent on the rear quarter bump out. A beautiful rocker trim runs from stem to stern, and moves gracefully around the fender skirts, with another trim spear above that ends in multiple verticalchrome gillshighlighting the rear quarter panel which has crowning fins with tail lights atop. Flow through the bumper exhaust toprotect the spacious trunk lid is on and for the roof, which is bathed in Taupe Metallic, there are plenty of chrome trimmings surrounding the windows, and mind you not a straight line of it to be seen! The lower body is all bathed in Pecos Beige, and how apropos for this luxury liner. Over all the paint presents in an acceptable patinaed condition with wear through, chips and scrapes, but no invasive rust is noted. Wide whites are on all 4 corners, and Caddy caps in shiny polish form are covering the wheels. Plenty of WOW factor here folks.
Interior
A swing of the large doors is much like opening a safe door. Here we can see the attention to detail the designers of the time took to make sure everything is really looking great with no expenses spared. Utilizing several surface treatments from beige vinyl to tan vinyl and even some buttoned square stitched broadcloth then we stitch all this and add a mesh metal panel with the crank for the wing windows and door actuator, and pepper it with a Caddy crown, and elongated Chevron and some shiny handles, and we have only described the doors! For the seating we note more buttoned square paneled heather pattern broadcloth in beige for the inserts, and beige gabardinebolsters, all bordered with cream piping. The seats are torn in a few areas with the worst being the driver's upper outer cushion and are trimmed with large chrome surrounding tub accenting. The rear seat is as impressive with a central beige cloth split panel including a fold down armrest. The original dash is a mixture of the brown leather, gold paint, and plenty of horizontal ribbing and shiny trimming surrounds and knobs. The cream bakelite steering wheel fronts this dash and is in good condition. Brown carpet floods the floors and is covered by a brown rubber mat, and a wonderful tan mohair headliner hangs above. A factory AM radio is noted, as is an aftermarket AM/FM/CD player hanging below the dash
Drivetrain
Under the large hood, sits an impressive rebuilt in 2017 364ci V8 which is original to this car and also numbers matching. It's all in dark blue and appears well detailed, with some slight paint chipping and minor patina. A single rebuilt 4-barrel Carter carb is atop under the back batwing air cleaner housing, and on back is a rebuilt in 2017 4-speed Hydramatic which pushes power back to a 3.07 rear axle.
Undercarriage
A combination of nice patina and some surface rust is noted throughout the undercarriage. A solid structurally sound X frame is present and rust free floor pans and toe kicks are seen. A few areas of invasive rust are noted on the rockers, but should be an easy repair. Power drum brakes are all around and coil springs for the front, and leaf springs for the back, provide the ride. Our consignor notes that new front wheel bearings were installed in 2019 and a new steering box was installed in 2022
Drive-Ability
She fired right up and on the test track performed well. There are some misfires though, in the form of the power antenna not working, thehorn not tooting, the wipers not wiping and the brake lights not illuminating when the pedal is depressed. Faults aside the car drove swimmingly with the signature Cadillac smooth ride, adequate acceleration and smooth shifting from the rebuilt Hydramatic.
Big, buxom, bodacious and beautiful with some slight TLC needed on a few areas, but notenough so to pass this car by. Car runs great and looks all the part with no rust, and lots of chrome. The bigger the better and this one is just nearly the best!
