1957 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible

An Original, Highly Distinguished Example with Rare Provenance

Offered here is an exceptionally original 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible — a true icon of American jet-age design, presented in a remarkably elegant and uncommon factory-correct pale green over matching interior.

The color combination alone sets this car apart. Finished in a soft, almost iridescent pale green with harmonized upholstery, contrasted by a cream convertible top and correct whitewall tyres, it has a presence that is both refined and unmistakably 1950s. In a market dominated by red and black examples, this configuration is rare, sophisticated, and highly memorable.

Design & Engineering

The 1957 model year represents one of Cadillac’s most dramatic and celebrated designs:
• Sweeping tailfins inspired by the dawn of the space age
• Bullet-style bumper ends
• Integrated rear exhaust outlets
• Abundant chrome detailing

Under the hood sits Cadillac’s 365 cubic inch (5.9L) V8, delivering smooth, effortless torque through an automatic transmission — the quintessential American open-top cruising experience.

Originality & Condition

This example stands out for its originality and honest presentation. It retains:
• Correct specification V8 engine
• Period-correct interior materials and trim
• Proper stance with whitewall tyres
• A harmonious and cohesive overall aesthetic

The car benefits from documented maintenance and compliance work completed for Austrian registration, ensuring it is both presentable and road-ready.

Provenance

Most importantly, this Cadillac was owned for 25 years by Prince Ernst August of Hanover, enjoyed privately before entering its current collection. Long-term, single-owner royal provenance of this duration is extremely uncommon and significantly enhances both desirability and narrative appeal.

Why This Car

This is not simply another 1957 Cadillac convertible. It is:
• A highly original example
• Finished in a rare and elegant color combination
• Backed by documented aristocratic ownership
• A true design statement of mid-century America

Whether for concours display, historic touring, or a curated collection of post-war icons, this Cadillac offers presence, story, and distinction in equal measure.

Serious collectors understand that originality and provenance drive long-term value — and this car has both.
