1957 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe Start Up, Exhaust, and In Depth Tour

[@AlexKravchenko-uo3ds]

The late '50s were arguably the golden age for Cadillacs.

[@bighands69]

Early 50s straight through to late 70s was the golden age of all american cars.

[@Underappreciatedclassics]

Indeed

[@torquejunkie69]

I think they died in 1964, when they stopped having fins.

[@directorjustin]

Now is the golden age for all cars because they're better than they've ever been!

[@Gobbersmack]

It was the golden age for Civilization in general.

[@maxd2215]

Awesome. No plastics. No warning signals. Chrome and steel all over the place. Just pure and solid classic car.

[@mitchman2100]

Back when 'Cadillac' actually meant something. Great car!

[@gmjunky87]

Back when vehicles had style and substance. Not the shapeless blobs we see roaming the streets today. When vehicles were more than just merely rolling appliances.

What a beautiful car. I have always loved the 57 and 58 Cadillacs. Absolutely fantastic looking cars.

[@TheProGamerHW]

YEEEEEEEEEES! Do more of these 1950's cars! My favorite decade btw..

[@johnnyohness]

The 57 one of my favorites ever. I don't know where the car came from, but I was amazed to see it wasn't ordered with power windows and air conditioning. It looks like it all original though. I love your enthusiasm for the older American cars. You remind me so much of myself back in the day. I feel so lucky to be raised in a time when all cars didn't look alike. They were American Automotive works of art. I always enjoy your videos.

[@robert3302]

The 62 was the base model. Power windows were an option.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

johnnyohness They did not have carpeted trunks. Trunks were lined with a durable, grey hounds tooth vinyl material. There was no cover on the spare.tire.

Beautiful! Even the base trim level Series 62 with crank windows and no AC is stunning! What an interior!

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

Never missed those options in our ‘59. AC was >10% of the base price in those days.

[@johnfranklin5277]

@@FrankGutowski-ls8jt I have my parents 58 Cadillac series 62 sedan they bought in1960. I was 1 lol. It does have factory air. And power windows. Palm springs California car. I remember when I was little that the AC was very cold, and I would stick my fingers in the vents lol. I'm still driving it.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

John Franklin I was 9 when we got ours. Two door. No options. Passed my driving test in it, including perfect parallel parking test. Fins made it easy to sight rear corners of the body. (I was good at backing up...I learned to drive by backing it out of the garage and to the street on a 100 foot driveway.) Transported all my college stuff in the huge trunk. We had Buick and a few older Cadillac owners for neighbors. Ours was black. I kept it looking immaculate inside and out. Parents sold it in 72 with less than 60K miles. Seats were flat and not comfortable. Rear seat was too low due to the huge sloping window. Quality of materials inside and out was excellent.

[@Theonestrongbusleader]

I like these vehicles more! Terrific job bro.

Such an awesome car! So modern even today. And those MPGs are just fascinating.

Innovation is what killed the modern car. Do we really need a computer to monitor tire pressure?

An AM/FM radio in 1957...now THAT is rare!

[@USARAY1947]

I had a Series 62 convertible that had a button the floor that would change the radio stations with your left food. It also had four ashtrays and four cigarette lighters.

[@390rambler]

1966 AM- FM Stereo radio. Fits right in

[@USARAY1947]

I too had a Series 62 1957 convertible. Baby blue with blue and white leather upholstery. Six way power seats and the floor radio button too. Now I have a Series 62 1957 coupe with 1975 Cadillac running gear.

Frank Sinatra was driving '57 convertible in the 1959 movie "Hole In The Head".

Let's be honest...this car is pure sex, romance, and power ...all in one package..

[@DizzyMan24]

A better song couldn't have come on when you turned the radio on. This car is amazing!

[@lars1968schenk]

Great video. Allow me to add some correction: Disc brakes were not factory options back in 1957. The original "wonderbar" radio had signal seeking but was AM only (there was no AM/FM switch) and it was mono (not "stereo").

[@steeltag]

horsepower for 1957 was 300, he quoted 1956 hp ratings. Great video review of this beauty!!

I'm speechless right now. I have no idea what to say. This car is absolutely amazing.

[@billolsen4360]

The '57s were the Cadillac's most beautiful models ever.

[@Donnaplumlee]

I had a beautiful pink and white one and drove it from 1967 until I wrecked it. It had a lot of bells and whistles. Electric windows, lap seat belt which saved my life when I wrecked it. I lost control in the rain and ran over a nail. Spun around 3 times on the interstate. Door popped open and the seat belt held me in. I drove on home. Three days later I was driving and rain water was plopping UP onto my face. The windshield had pulled away 3 inches from the body! It never cracked nor chipped. I took it to a repair shop who put it on the lift. I had bent the frame in 3 places and it totaled the car. I was so upset and sad. Sent it to the junk yard. Years later I saw a couch made from the trunk area. Wish I had kept the old beauty. I could have made a bed for my grandson from the trunk area. Prior to the 1957, I had a 1954. Also a really nice car. The gas cap was inside the tail light. You lifted up the light and there was the cap. I think that was on both of these cars. Cadillacs were truly great cars back then.

[@LICKAmySACKcody1994]

Hey Kyle, Great video! You always have great cars but for me this must be the most interesting car I have seen on this channel (probably because I have a thing for 50s Cadillacs) Thanks for uploading!

[@adoreslaurel]

Probably the best styling Cadillac ever came up with,I worked in a body shop in OZ for a couple of years and we had a late 70's or early 80's De Ville with what I would call a "drop nose" diff which meant the tailshaft was lower than the bottom of the banjo but have never seen one like it since,probably had the crown wheel on the "wrong" side and drop gears in the nose like a Hallibrand quick change diff,often wondered if these were used much in caddies so that the tunnel could be lowered.

[@FourQed]

When I was a teenager back in the sixties, our next door neighbor had a car just like this. I always thought it was a beautiful car. My thoughts are the same today.

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

FourQed All our neighbors in the 50’s and 60’s had Buicks or Cadillacs. They didn’t drive much, but had good cars, some old, but well maintained, and always bought new.

[@barret46922]

Even Cavlier's and Corolla's came with 3-speeds in the 90's. That's just incredible that they put a 4 speed in this in 57!

[@mikegehre570]

What a gorgeous Caddy - and in outstanding condition. Those were the glory days of GM and Cadillac.

Great Job on the video, You wouldn't believe the ride that 57 Caddy gives. I had a 57 but mine was several years old and quite ratty. I was a kid then and still enjoyed the car.

[@jonasbickford7417]

the engine noise gives me the chills! it's scary and very sexy sounding...

Brings back memories, my Dad had a two-tone green model just like that one. Manual windows and all.

[@Bruningable]

That's one nice ride! Just beautiful!

[@fredkelbert1913]

My dad once owned a 1958 Cadillac Series 62 hardtop coupe. His had a white exterior with an aqua/green interior. In my opinion, Cadillacs seem to look more “elegant” in white. It was a beautiful car, and turned heads wherever he drove it. The radio was an AM “signal-seeking” type, with a motor-driven tuner. I think the radio in your car is a custom “aftermarket” type.

[@stizzulka]

That streetside classics looks real nice. Quite the collection inside.

[@thedavephan]

Now THIS is a car. Wish times were still so simple.

[@VintageAutoFan]

I love that engine idle :) Great video!

[@123Chevyman]

The AM/FM radio only came in 1964 but it is a nice, original looking addition with the correct 57 buttons used on it.

[@390rambler]

It was a 1966 AM FM Stereo Radio

[@123Chevyman]

Yeah I believe it came first in 64. And the extra floor switch was for the 57 Wonder Bar radio, for signal seeking. Does not work with the AM/FM radio. The window washer is on the left next to the headlight switch.

[@poopooworld]

That is heavenly...I want one so bad to just cruise and people just give me thumbs up everywhere

[@VinylToVideo]

Now that's a car!

I was in high school in 1957 and massively interested in automobiles so I am well qualified to comment here. 1) Cadillacs of that era did not have any engine noise; this thing sounds like a threshing machine. If you are going to tout this as a perfect example then give it at least a tuneup and even better, gasp, an engine rebuild. 2) These cars had zero exhaust noise - they were for people going to the country club, not hot-rodders cruising on Main Street. It is a disservice to younger folks to be putting up such unauthentic junk as representing what these beauties really were.

[@humanbeing4150]

unclepup I guess age and years dont exist

[@FrankGutowski-ls8jt]

unclepup Not true. They had a fixed radiator fan, a timing chain, and lots of air intake sound. Nowhere near as silent at idle as modern cars. The air intake in our ‘59 made a satisfying turbine-like whoosh under hard acceleration. Engine sounds are satisfying when they connote power, just as metallic door clunks were an indication of a solid body. You no longer hear those metallic sounds with today’s triple sealed doors.

[@cincymodeler-oz3se]

Cars like that were deafening compared to today’s cars. They didn’t have cats or resonators to further reduce noise level. I know a lot of people who were mechanics back in the day and a lot of them lost their hearing. That car in the video is still pretty quiet.
