1949 Cadillac 4-door
left side view
The major difference between Series 61 and Series 62 models of similar body style was minor trim variations. The higher-priced series again had grooved, front fender stone shields and bright rocker panel moldings. Chevrons below the taillights were no longer seen. The convertible was an exclusive offering, as was a new pillarless two-door "convertible hardtop" called the Coupe DeVille. A more DeLuxe interior was featured and power window lifts were standard on the convertible coupe and optional with other styles.
