"Ambition is a dream with a V8 engine" – Elvis Presley
An eight-cylinder engine, almost as long as a football field, two doors, and topless. Welcome to the world of the 1955 Cadillac Eldorado Series 62. This masterpiece, designed by the legendary Harley Earl, embodies everything that makes Cadillac the undisputed king of over-the-top, luxurious automobiles.
The 1955 Eldorado Series 62 is an iconic design. Finished in the rare and original color "Copper Poly" (paint code 96), and combined with a beige leather interior (trim code 95), this car offers more legroom than many New York apartments. With only 8, 150 units produced, the '55 Eldorado Series 62 Convertible is one of the most sought-after Cadillacs from the post-war era.
As the most expensive model, the '55 Eldorado Series 62 Convertible featured a unique rear design, with tall, slender, pointed tailfins and dual round taillights midway down the fenders. Standard equipment included a custom interior, power brakes, power seats, power windows, radio, heater, and whitewalls.
What truly sets this Eldorado apart are the unique features such as the ribbed chrome saddle moldings extending from the windshield to the rear window pillar and the dual hood ornaments. It is equipped with all the correct Eldorado options, including Sabre Spoke wheels, a 331ci 270 hp engine with dual carburetors, and the rare fiberglass 'parade boots' for the convertible top, as well as the iconic and highly coveted Continental Kit.
This Eldorado is in absolute mint condition thanks to a thorough "body-off" restoration, documented with photos and detailed technical revision documentation. The craftsmanship is evident in the stunning paint, excellent chrome, and perfectly maintained interior. It is fully matching and functions perfectly. With recently fitted new radial tires with wide whitewalls (BF Goodrich Silvertown), this Eldorado is not only a visual spectacle but also a technical marvel.
Not just beautiful to look at, but also a true star. Winner of the "Best of Show" award at the Worldwide Cadillac GE Show in 2013, this car is in concours condition and undoubtedly one of the best examples available worldwide. A unique opportunity for the enthusiast and collector to own a piece of Cadillac's golden era.
Don't let this opportunity pass you by. 5. 4 L V8 - Concours Condition - Matching -
