For Sale: 1949 Cadillac Coupe DeVille in Weirsdale, Florida for sale in Weirsdale, FL
Vehicle Description This vehicle is from the Roger Hatton Collection of fine automobiles.
The Coupe deVille was one of Cadillac's top selling models annually.
The revolutionary new 1949 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe deVille was powered by an all-new V8 engine that had been evolving before 1936.
By the mid 1940s, the old L-Head engine had reached its limits for compression.
The 1949 Coupe de Ville sported a modern engine with overhead valves, and it was the first Cadillac V8 to attain 160 horsepower.
This Cadillac was not a convertible; however it featured a roof and window configuration that was to define the landscape of hardtops.
On closer inspection, one can notice that this Cadillac is devoid of a 'B Pillar,' or window door frame.
This was to become a feature of hardtop convertibles, and offered better visibility.
The 1949 Cadillac Coupe de Ville cost $3,496 and could achieve a speed of 100 mph.
When Cadillac introduced its Third Generation of its Series 62, it provided the first hints of a trend that would dominate American vehicle design in the latter half of the 1950s.
It was the first Cadillac to feature tailfins, although these were tiny compared to those that graced later Cadillacs.
This example is mechanically sound and been driven regularly and it is ready to hit the road immediately.
