The 1964 Series 62 introduced Comfort Control, a dial-set automatic heating and air conditioning system — the industry's first fully automatic climate control, standard decades before it became common.
The year it became the Series 6200, Cadillac split De Villes and 2-door Eldorados into their own separate series — and sales of the Series 6200 alone plunged to just 70,736, its lowest since 1950.
Cadillac's 1957 X-frame let the Series 62 sit lower without losing interior room — but rivals like Ford called the frame design unsafe.
Cadillac built one completely unique Series 62-based Eldorado coupe just for the Reynolds Aluminum Corporation, with special extruded-aluminum body panels.
Cadillac's all-new postwar 1948 Series 62 looked like the future — P-38 fighter-inspired tailfins and all — but under the hood sat the same flathead V8 from 1941, good for a leisurely 16-second sprint to 60.
Postwar steel was so scarce that some 1946 Series 62s left the factory with wooden bumpers. Dealers were supposed to bolt on real ones whenever metal became available.
The 1941 Series 62 is the only four-door convertible Cadillac ever built — the brand never made that body style again.
