Overview
SBX Cars is proud to offer for sale this 1962 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible showing 36,803 miles at the time of this cataloging. Finished in Panther Pink with a black retractable top over a tri-tone custom vinyl interior, it is offered by a seller in Pennsylvania with a clear title.
Bruce Springsteen’s iconic 1984 song “Pink Cadillac” became so popular that it resided on the Billboard “Top Tracks” chart for 14 weeks. Springsteen frequently sang the song during his Born in the USA tour, and one point or another, most car enthusiasts have had the catchy tune stick in their mind at least once. Now is a good time to turn up the volume and give some love to one of America’s favorite classic cars.
The Cadillacs of the late 1950s and the early 1960s were symbols of opulence and extravagance, drawn by well-known designers Harley Earl and later Bill Mitchell. From its jewel-like grille to its sharp tailfins, the 1960 Series 62 was a car with unmistakable presence on the road. And as was fitting for its role as a status symbol, it rode with dignity and was praised for its supple, confident, and controlled ride.
This vivid pink drop-top is an eye-catcher that went through restoration about a decade ago according to the selling dealer. In addition to its looks, it is also a solid performer, and its 390ci OHV V8 has been exercised adequately over the years. The car is a five-time participant at the Cruisin’ the Coast events along the Mississippi Gulf Coast, having attended most recently in 2018. It has made appearances in the collector-car scene in and around the New Orleans area under current ownership.
This Series 62 convertible is now ready to turn heads at a parade near you. Its interior is even complete with a Bluetooth-equipped audio system in a custom console. Bruce Springsteen road trip soundtrack, coming right up.
