The Cadillac Series 62, a classic symbol of automotive luxury, rolled off production lines from 1940 to 1964, with a brief identity crisis in 1959 when it became the “6200” series. The 1951 Coupe De Ville flaunted its flair with a chrome overdose—think full-length chromed rocker panels and a fancy rear roof pillar script. Under the hood, a 331 CID V8 engine paired with a 4-speed automatic transmission powered this beauty, offering the exhilarating fuel economy of 12 miles per gallon at a leisurely 45 mph.
