From 1940 to 1964, the Series Sixty-Two (also 62) was the breadwinner of Cadillac’s assortment of products. It was the entry-level model, though hardly sparse, and most confused it with the Coupe de Ville/Sedan de Ville offerings, which were minimally different. The seller has a 1963 Series 62 convertible that has been in a storage container since the 1980s. It was running at the time but had brake issues. Assuming no damage has been caused by small woodland creatures, the car may still be solid after all these years. Still in the box in Manzanola, Colorado, this drop-top is available here on Facebook Marketplace for $29,500.

Seventh-generation 62s arrived in 1961 as Cadillac was phasing out its tailfin era. The fins were still there, but modest and even small compared to the late 1950s benchmark. They were luxurious cars along the lines of the big Buicks and Oldsmobiles and used a 390 cubic inch V8 engine for power. As you would expect, a 3-speed automatic transmission was the only choice by 1963. The Series 62 convertible was a popular pick, finding 17,600 buyers that year.

We don’t know the history of this car, and we get the impression the seller has been buying up storage containers. A video is included in the listing, but it’s of a third-generation Chevy Camaro that may be seeing the light of day for the first time in years. The video has nothing to do with this Caddy. We’re told it’s been locked up since the 1980s, and the odometer reading is unknown because the vehicle is landlocked in the box. A large and rather garish hood ornament is the first thing you see when you pop the doors open.

The Cadillac is one of those “ran when parked” kind of cars. The brakes, not the engine, were the problem. No attempt should be made to start the 62 before changing out all the ancient fluids, and we don’t know if the fuel supply is gummed up. Few physical flaws are noted, and the seller postulates that you could have a $50-70,000 car with a little work. That would explain the asking price that our readers may cough at.
