This 1948 Cadillac Convertible Series 62 has been in the family since 1962 (1962 Texas title). The owner is elderly and no longer able to tend to the car. This was Cadillac’s first post WWII design with styling cues inspired by the iconic P-38 Lightning fighter plane. Only 5,450 convertibles were produced during the year making them extremely rare and highly sought after. At the time, the car sold for about $3,400. Top speed was rated at 93 mph with 0 to 60 mph in 16 seconds.
Equipment includes:
*346 cu in (5.7L) flathead V8 engine producing 150 HP
*4 speed Hydra-matic automatic transmission
*126” wheelbase
*Aircraft type tail fins (patterned after a P-38 Lightning)
*Egg crate grille
*Power operated convertible top
*Leather upholstery
*Power windows (in good working order)
*Oil filled air cleaner
*Inside hood release
*Pop-up tail light fuel door
*Tires are 6.20x15 Firestones from Coker Tire (recent installation)
*Original AM radio (inop)
Offered by John Haigler at Haigler Motors, Inc., 13192 Hwy. 155 South, Tyler, TX 75703. Please message before coming out since I don’t keep regular hours (generally here Tuesday thru Sunday 8am-5pm). You’re welcome to call or text 24/7, whenever convenient for you. Should you need financing, please arrange through your bank/credit union as I am unable to provide in-house financing. If you currently do not have a banking relationship, you may check with Altra Federal Credit Union here in Tyler. You’re welcome to also check out United Heritage Credit Union in Tyler. They both offer great rates and terms! Thanks for your consideration.
Also, if you need assistance in selling your vehicle, I offer a consignment service on a flat fee basis (no sale, no fee charged). Quite a few of my customers utilize the service for the following reasons:
1. Avoid having to deal with countless phone calls, texts, or emails from the public
2. Title paperwork is handled by a licensed Texas Motor Vehicle dealer (especially when a lien is in effect on your vehicle or the buyer needs financing)
3. Making certain that you are paid the correct amount in a timely manner (there are a multitude of scams in the marketplace which can be difficult to detect)
4. Advertising – handled for you in a manner that draws maximum number of interested parties
5. Test drives are always accompanied, never alone (copy of driver’s license and insurance is required). Personal safety can be an issue when test driving with an unknown person. Interested persons are instructed on how to make the test drive without damaging your vehicle (e. g. no jack rabbit starts, no high speed, no rapid acceleration before the engine warms up, no test drives for “under 18 years”, etc)
6. Professional presentation (objections handled) of your vehicle to show its best traits
7. Time savings for the seller – I’m available to show your vehicle by appointment 7 days a week, saving you the time and trouble it takes to consummate a sale
8. Trade-ins accepted by the dealership
9. Delivery – depending on the circumstances a sold vehicle can be delivered to a buyer’s home or office
10. Temporary license plates (issued for the sold unit) avoids your having to worry about the purchaser using your plates and thereby creating a legal liability for you
11. Indoor storage – available as space permits to keep your vehicle safe and protected from the environment
12. Display for drive-by traffic to gain exposure to potential buyers
