1950 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan

Description

The 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Sedan exemplified what Cadillac called “distinguished beyond all others.” The 1950 model featured a new sleek, modern silhouette with integrated fenders and a one-piece windshield, reflecting the era’s shift toward streamlined automotive aesthetics. Under the hood, it carried Cadillac’s vigorous 331 cubic inch OHV V8 engine, introduced in 1949, which delivered smooth power and impressive reliability. The advanced Hydra-Matic four-speed automatic transmission was standard. Inside, the Series 62 Sedan offered plush seating, ample chrome trim, and advanced features for the time. Cadillac produced over 55,000 Series 62 Sedans in 1950, making it a popular choice among affluent buyers seeking luxury and status.

Showing just under 94,350 miles, this particular Series 62 is described by the seller as a well-preserved example. It is reportedly unrestored, the chrome and paint are said to be factory-applied, and the seller claims the “interior is very presentable and the car drives beautifully.”

Located in Green Bay, this Cadillac is now offered with a clean Wisconsin title in the name of a family trust.
