1957 Cadillac Series 62

The Coupe DeVille was introduced by Cadillac late in the 1949 model year as part of the Series 62 line. It was a pillarless two door “convertible hardtop” that had leather interior, power windows and chrome bows in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top. The DeVille was an option package for the Series 62, not a separate body style. For many years it was distinguished from the Series 62 by exterior trim script and luxury appointments such as hydraulic windows. In 1956 the Sedan DeVille, a four door pillarless sedan, was added to the series. In 1959 the DeVille became the Sub Series 6300 and a 6 window sedan was added. As before, they were distinguished from the Series 6200 by exterior trim and standard equipment such as power windows and seats. In 1961 a Town Sedan was added. A convertible joined the DeVille series in 1964 and as before the styling followed the Series 6200 with badging and interior features being the main differences.
