The 1953 Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Eldorado was like the contemporary Buick Riviera and Oldsmobile Fiesta: a limited-production show car, and widely sought after because of this. Fortunately, quite a few have survived in proportion to the small number built.
The cut-down body and "Panoramic" windshield, metal convertible boot, ultra-luxurious upholstery, and chrome plated wire wheels made the 1953 Series Sixty-Two Eldorado the sportiest Cadillac ever. It created quite a stir despite an eye-opening price.
