Description
Lot #433 - This Series 62 De Ville is finished in beautiful Emerald Green over a Mint Green interior. The 4-speed Hydramatic transmission is powered by its original 331/210hp 4-barrel V8 engine. New wide whitewall radial tires were just serviced and finished a 1,500-mile road rally on the West Coast. The 1953 Series 62 saw a redesigned grille with heavier integral bumper and bumper guards, the repositioning of parking lamps directly under the headlights, chrome eyebrow-type headlamp doors and one-piece rear windows without division bars. Wheel discs were fashioned in an attractive new disc-style design. Series 62 body styles were identified by non-louvered rear fenders, the use of thin bright metal underscores on the bottom rear of the cars only and the decoration of both hood and decklid with Cadillac crests and V-shaped ornaments. This exemplifies one of the most beautiful Cadillacs of the early '50s with that unmistakable Harley Earl design.
