Cadillac redesigned their Series 61 and 62 cars in 1950, giving them lower and sleeker contours, sweeping front fenders, long rear decks, and a broken rear fender line. The front grille grew in size, becoming larger and the hood extended out further than in prior years. There were round parking lights, long tailfin rear fenders with imitation chrome air slots, and a one-piece windshield. The presence of rear Ventipanes on the Series 62 was one of the more distinguishable differences between the two lines.

The Series 62 came standard with hydraulic window lifts and a Hydra-Matic transmission. The only engine offered by Cadillac in 1950 was a V-8 unit that displaced 331 cubic inches and produced 160 horsepower.

This example benefits from a comprehensive frame-off restoration with less than a thousand miles driven since completion.
