Vehicle description

FOR SALE: A one of a kind 1940 Cadillac Series 62 Coupé Custom, handbuilt in the USA and Germany!
Super rare: Only 1322 Series 62 Coupés were built in 1940! Not many survived, but this got a second and even more glamorous life as a stunning and perfectly reshaped Custom Car. It was really tastefully rebuilt, honoring and respecting it’s history. A traditional Custom Car in the style of the late 1940s. The flowing lines of this glory example of an luxurious Cadillac of the Art Deco era have been even improved by lowering it’s chassis and chopping the top. It’s not done wild, it’s done the right way to keep it’s heart and soul. The roof got chopped around 4“ and the b-pillars got slanted forward. The rear fenders have been welded to the body to smoothen the appearance of this classy lady on wheels even more. The chassis features an airride suspension, restored front axle and the rearend got a little c-notch (just enough for the right stance) and a JG 2-link system. All the chassis and body works were executed in Ventura, California, by the renowned JG Design & Fabrication garage. Made in germany: The original Cadillac Flathead V8 Engine and the manual transmission both have been completely overhauled. The classy and perfectly matching paintjob has been done by the famous „Fat Earl Motors“ garage. The suitable red tuck’n’roll interior has been handmade by a specialized craftsman. The car was shown on several big car shows in europe and won several prices! All the custom works done, compliment the original design of the car and enhance the whole appearance of this true rarity to the next level. If you are into rare, traditional cars which have been done just right: This Cadillac is your car! Technical Data: The Calivarian Year: 1947
