Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this restored 1958 Cadillac Series 62 convertible. Owned by the seller since 1990, this Cadillac ragtop is one of 237 that was produced for sale in Canada when news. Power is provided by a 365ci four-barrel backed by a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Features include Autronic-Eye, white convertible top boot and updated brake hardware. Finished in red over red and ivory leather interior, this garage-kept Cadillac comes with restoration documentation and receipts, Vintage Vehicle Services, Inc. invoice and Canadian registration.

The exterior has been refinished in the original color of Dakota Red (code 50). Features include a manual remote driver-side mirror, power-operated windows and white top, and rear bumper-exit exhaust outlets.

A set of steel wheels with full Cadillac wheelcovers is wrapped in whitewall tires.

The interior is upholstered in red and ivory leather. Features include power steering and brakes, column-mounted automatic shifter, Autronic-Eye automatic headlight bean control and modern radio. The finished trunk contains a covered spare tire.

The instrument panel includes a 120-mph speedometer, gauges for the fuel level and coolant temperature, and a clock. The odometer reads 1,864 miles, though the true mileage is unknown.

Power is provided by a reportedly numbers-matching 310-horsepower 365ci V8 paired with a four-barrel carburetor and a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. An oil change was completed in September 2022.

This Cadillac was engineered with an independent front suspension and solid rear drive axle. Braking is provided by newer power four-wheel drums. A dual exhaust system exits through openings in the rear bumper.

Though his first love is Citroen, he fell for muscle cars after being seduced by 1950s finned flyers—in fact, he’s written two books on American muscle. But please don’t think there is a strong American bias because foreign weirdness is never far from his heart. With a penchant for underground music from the 1960-70s, Diego and his family reside in the Southwest.
