TheSeries 62 Cadillacs were based on the General Motors’ C-Body, also used on the Cadillac 60S, Buick 50 and 70 and Oldsmobile 90 series. Notchback styling characterized the racy-looking cars in this line except for the Club Coupe, which had fastback styling. The Series 62 four-door sedan was the first Cadillac to enter production after WWII. Styling and technical features were similar to those seen on lower priced models, but on a longer chassis with slightly richer interior appointments.
