Benefiting from recent mechanical and cosmetic attention
Dry stored in a garage
The Appeal
Loaded with the exuberance and confidence of 1950s Detroit, the Series 62 is probably what comes to mind for many when they think of a 1950s American car. This was the golden age of the Mother Road, the golden age of big, heavy land liners, and the golden age of American motoring at its most bold. Powered by a 5,431 cc V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission, these cars offered effortless grand touring that felt relaxed yet charismatic.
This grey example has been imported from the dry climate of California, and is now registered on UK plates, ready for its next keeper to enjoy on British roads. Recent work includes cosmetic refreshment to the boot trim, a new hood and trunk crest, an electric ignition conversion, a new manifold gasket, and new tyres all round including the spare. The vendor describes the driving experience as very smooth and comfortable, and tells us that it's ready and waiting for its new owner.
There's no better time to immerse yourself in one of the most iconic American classics ever built, and we're certain this one will tick plenty of boxes for the lucky enthusiast. image.png1.48 MB
