FOR SALE: A one of a kind 1940 Cadillac Series 62 Coupé Custom, handbuilt in the USA and Germany! Super rare: Only 1322 Series 62 Coupés were built in 1940!

A traditional Custom Car in the style of the late 1940s. The flowing lines of this glory example of an luxurious Cadillac of the Art Deco era have been even improved by lowering it’s chassis and chopping the top.

The rear fenders have been welded to the body to smoothen the appearance of this classy lady on wheels even more. The chassis features an airride suspension, restored front axle and the rearend got a little c-notch (just enough for the right stance) and a JG 2-link system. All the chassis and body works were executed in Ventura, California, by the renowned JG Design & Fabrication garage.
