Cadillac has built some impressive cars over the years, but one of its most iconic designs was the 1957 and ’58 Series 62. It was an incredible blend of curves, chrome, and luxury. If you wanted a big American luxury car to haul your family or friends around in, the 1958 Series 62 Extended Trunk Sedan was the one to get. This example is being offered here as a Barn Finds Auction!

This example was purchased new in 1958 and has remained in the family. According to the seller, it has been garage-kept its entire life and was used mainly on the weekends and long road trips. In 1981, Grandma had to settle for a smaller car that was easier to navigate than this marvel of American Engineering. It has been in the garage and not started since the 1980s.

The Series 62 Sedan wasn’t exactly small, coming in at 216.8 inches long, but Cadillac felt there was a need for one with an even larger trunk. At 225.3 inches long, the extended trunk should offer more than enough trunk space to haul everyone’s stuff for a cross-country family vacation. Here is a good look at the massive trunk, as well as the original hup caps.

This example is going to need restoration, but it’s complete, and what’s here is original. The seats are currently wearing covers, so hopefully, the upholstery underneath is in usable condition. The headliner will need to be redone, and the carpets appear to be in need of some attention. While the trunk is larger, the interior is otherwise the same as the standard sedan, so that should make finding parts a bit easier. Some soft parts are sure to be challenging to track down, but a quick internet search reveals that headliners, carpet sets, and seat upholstery are available.

Moving all this luxury around requires a big V8. This one is equipped with the single 4-barrel 365 cui OHV V8, which was rated at 310 horsepower. Cadillac’s overhead valve V8 Engines are renowned for their durability and smooth operation. Since it hasn’t run in 40 years, though, it’s going to need to be gone through. The engine bay appears to be complete and original.

Three of the four tires are holding air, and it rolls freely. This really does look like a worthwhile project, and the fact that it’s a one-family survivor is a huge plus. If you’d love to rescue this Caddy, cast your bid below!
