Cadillac introduced in 1957 a completely new model. Left the Department of Design then headed Harley Earl, the new generation Cadillac was an evolution of sharp, angular forms of the 1954-1956 model known as "standard of the world." The car was available in three body variants, the Sedan de Ville, Coupe de Ville and the Convertible and the list of extras and innovations was quite extensive, including an innovative panorama windshield, air suspension, cold air conditioning system heat, automatic radio antenna, car radio with Automatic Frequency selector, spoke alloy wheels, power seats with six positions or fog lights, among others.
There were two engines available, a 5.4 liters (331 ci) of 240 hp or the huge 6 liters (365 Ci) of 325 hp. All were rigged to the gear three-speed Hydramatic. 1957 range allowed a choice between two convertibles, the Series 62 and Eldorado Biarritz Convertible, whose main difference was the design of the rear wings, while in the Eldorado had the shape of the caudal fin of a shark in the Series 62 were softer and square and included a chrome trim on the edge and the rear light and the flashing on each side.
The last Cadillac launches Neo Scale Models under your specific brand is this American Excellence Series 62 Convertible, a model that we can only describe with one word, spectacular, either by their colossal size and its excellent and exquisite finish, something that no longer surprises us a lot in this manufacturer. The model comes in one of the most common colors of this car, called in the catalog of the time 'Arctic white'. The interior comes with a tricolor trim in white, gray and burgundy. All trims of the bodywork and interior are made as separate pieces and photogravures.
