The 1949 Cadillac
Series Sixty-Two Coupe DeVille is a rare and highly desirable Milestone
car. It shares honors with the '49 Buick Roadmaster Riviera and
Oldsmobile 98 Holiday as the first "hardtop convertibles."
The 1949 Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Coupe DeVille is lavishly upholstered in leather and vinyl, with bright metal strips on the headliner simulating convertible top bows. The 1950 and later models are collectible too, but only the '49 holds Milestone status. Also, post-1949 Cadillacs were more ornate, especially in front.
