The 1954-1955 Cadillac Series Sixty-Two Eldorado was a continuation of the successful limited-production 1953 Eldorado, but priced quite a bit less and built in greater quantity. Like the 1954 Buick Skylark, it was far less "custom" in these years, sharing the basic Sixty-Two convertible body, but sporting an exclusive shark-fin rear end and round taillights.
For 1955, the standard engine was a special high-performance version of the Cadillac V-8, offered on no other model that year. It had twin four-barrel carbs and 270 horsepower.
