Description of 1942 Cadillac Series 62 Deluxe

This is a very rare and special automobile. First, it is a 1942! So few cars were manufactured in 1942 and this car was built a few weeks before the attack on Pearl Harbor!! It was purchased by a physician in Minnesota and was lovingly cared for, its entire life. Secondly what makes this car so special, is that it has 26,000 ORIGINAL MILES! It is a true museum piece, but one that drives and runs amazingly well. It rides and drives like a new automobile.

The 1942 Model Year began production in October of 1941 and ended 5 months later due to the involvement of the United States into World War II making the 1942 production year the rarest for Cadillac. Total production of the 1942 Series 62 Sedans was 1,743 units.

This particular car was delivered in December 31, 1942 to Mr. Wilfred C. Kemstedt of St. Paul Minnesota. The original owners ticket is still in this automobile. It is not known how long Mr. Kemstedt had this car. It was eventually purchased by a well-known collector of original classic automobiles in Ontario Canada by the name of Mr. Jim Miller. Mr. Miller owned this Cadillac at two different times while the in between owner was Mr. Charles Cawley, founder of MBNA Bank which became Bank of America. Mr. John White of Sacramento California purchase this car from Mr. Miller approximately 10 years ago. The life of this wonderful automobile has been spent in very loving and sparring use care by significant collectors of highly original automobiles.


This car has been in a variety of high end collections since the original family sold it and it has been very carefully preserved, perhaps the finest prewar original condition automobile on the planet.


The car is a Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) primary and senior award winner and 90% of this automobiles paint is original, with a couple very old paint touch ups that were done on the right rear fender and hood, and 100% of the interior is original, and perfect! You will see in the interior photos that I have a floor matt that is protecting the carpet in the front and back passenger areas. The factory carpet underneath the floor matts is perfect.
This car is an amazing time capsule and rightly deserves to be in a high end collection or museum where it can be fully appreciated.
