1949 Cadillac Series 62 Sedanette

Powered by its original matching-numbers 331ci OHV V8 engine paired to a Hydramatic transmission, this Cadillac has now covered 97,040 total miles which are documented via records going back to 1980 when it had 88k miles. This car has been kept mostly stock with one known repaint, a Pertronix ignition system, a lightly refreshed interior, and modern radial tires. Paint flaws are listed as two areas that show minor flaws from a car cover reacting with the paint. Factory 15� wheels are wrapped in modern 235/70 series Diamondback radial tires fitted three years and less than 1k miles ago. All glass is reported to be clear and in nice condition throughout. According to the service file four new shocks were fitted in 1993 and all-new brakes plus a new master cylinder were installed in 2011. Inside, new seat covers were fitted over the factory mohair and new carpeting was installed in the 1980s. 97,040 miles on the odometer are believed to be original and are backed up with records from 1980 at 88k miles. Under the hood sits a matching-numbers 331ci OHV V8 engine with its rare early-style center-bolt valve covers linked to a Hydramatic transmission. All have been maintained in factory specification aside from a Pertronix ignition system installed in 2011. According to service documentation, notable maintenance consists of new U-joints in 1980, a full motor rebuild in 1983, a rebuilt carburetor and a new pinion seal in 1995, ultrasonic cleaning of the radiator and a new water pump in 2007, a distributor rebuild in 2011, and a transmission service in 2016. The oil was changed 250 miles ago and a new starter was fitted at the same time. The detailed service file is shown above along with a set of original keys and original literature.
