1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe

Description

Cadillac introduced the fifth-generation Series 62 for the 1957 model year with new styling that emphasized longer, lower proportions and more pronounced tailfins. Design updates included a wide egg-crate grille, revised bumpers, and extensive chrome trim, consistent with General Motors’ focus on bold styling during the late 1950s. Positioned as a central model in Cadillac’s lineup, the Series 62 offered luxury features at a price point below the De Ville and Eldorado, providing broad appeal within the brand’s portfolio.

This 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe is finished in teal with chrome brightwork and Cadillac hubcaps, and rides on wide whitewall radial tires. The two-door hardtop design highlights the sweeping roofline and tail fins characteristic of 1950s Cadillac styling.

Power comes from a 365ci OHV V8 paired with a Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission. Factory specifications for the standard four-barrel version were 300 horsepower and 400 lb-ft of torque. Equipment includes power steering, power-assisted brakes, power windows, and a power-adjustable front seat. The cabin features an AM radio and seatbelts, and the interior is trimmed in white vinyl with matching accents and chrome details.
