This is a restored 1947 Cadillac series 62 convertible. The prior owner did a repaint/restoration in the middle 1990’s. The current owner purchased the car at auction in central California and he has had it garaged since with minimal miles driven. The car has not been driven for 5 years. The car has just been serviced and is now road worthy ready for the summer weekend cruise. This is an original California car. Paint is very well done. The leather upholstery is magnificent and the electric convertible top operates smoothly as designed. This fine automobile will take you back in time and is worthy of any drive asked of it by a new owner. It would be a shame to re-engineer any facet of this luxury low production automobile and the new owner will have the responsibility to be a good curator
