Free 1962 Cadillac driving for the first time under its own power

[@stevendaleschmitt]

i rebuilt a black/tuxedo 62 four door series 62 and drove it for about ten years. the weak link in the 390 is top end oiling.. the cam was shot at 100k but everything else was tip top. easy build.

[@billbowers268]

Bravo Young Man. I'm proud of you. I wish I had money, I'd sponsor you. Don't give up. Too cool.

[@wayneshearon3203]

What a sweet find,awesome car.

[@dette-envers-les-animaux]

when restored, to protect these cars against rust : put grease every where : between carpet and metal, inside rear gate, doors, under the car, rear wings, behind bumpers, when you cannot reach these places with a paintbrush, use an extender to pour oil. to be repeted regulary for oil. Grease is the only thing really very efficient againt rust. it is my experience of 35 years.. from france.

[@Ford57]

Yes i agree.... From France too, i do the same thing everywhere i can, on my cars. I did not fond 62 Caddy, but i found and got 58 Ford fairlane, 58 Ford skyliner, and 58 Mercury montclair, all of them are hard-top coupe . And i like them.....

[@dette-envers-les-animaux]

ok good job, wonderful. all classics deserve to be saved.

[@califdad4]

62 Cadillacs are so good looking, I always thought it was the year Cadillac got elegant again, my grandparents had a really pretty tan 62 coupe DeVille, she turned it in on a new 67 CDV

[@anthonytursak51]

That's cool! You're going to be surprised at the friends that will want rides! Good luck young man!

[@mississippibarnfinesandcla3559]

Thanks

[@adamantvermont]

Nice car. I liked and subscribed. I like no cussing. Good job. Keep it up!

[@mississippibarnfinesandcla3559]

Thanks I don't like cussing either

[@resurrectionmotors2421]

I was scrolling through and stumbled across your channel. I absolutely love these old caddies. For detailing if you mix vinegar and water 121 in a mop bucket. And give that old girl. It will kill all that rust. Then Buffett with a claybar. Then hit it with compound and polishing. It'll surprise you how much that old lacquer paint will come back

[@raymondcollyear4773]

Good luck . Enjoy the car and take your time working on it

[@mariarusso1155]

Hi Raymond how are you doing.

[@tomburns41]

Very cool guys. I had a 64 Sedan deVille. Great cruisers.

[@thebentleyeight4307]

The most beautiful body style. Keep up the good work!

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

I agree!!!

[@michaelclose7756]

Very good video dude! Cleary the you tube algorithm loves it as it just popped up out of nowhere to me. But solid content love that design caddy. a lil tip though check your spelling and grammar, will help you with being clear and concise. Also... please dont stand on the roof!!

[@sclogse1]

I got one of these for NINE DOLLARS. Clean convertible white with the red leather interior. Couldn't go over 50.

[@tyronebateslibra9435]

Don't see many ppl driving those, not built for speed more of an cruiser. Have to respect the size of it that car take up alot of lanes lol.

[@SpockvsMcCoy]

1962 Cadillac Series 62 4-Window Sedan...production of 17,314 units. The paint is Olympic White with the classic white/black interior (often called "tuxedo"). To protect your health, discard the carpeting while wearing a respirator/mask.

[@THROTTLEPOWER]

Oh wow, very cool!!!!!!!!!!

[@explosiveboi6692]

Broooo that car is awesome. If your going to use it a lot, you probably shouldn’t do a full restoration. Maybe fix some rust holes and throw on some paint?

[@simonw2631]

Just one thing, don’t walk on a car like that especially the roof and especially on the front and rear part of the roof where it meets the windshield. You could crack the glass.

[@mississippibarnfinesandcla3559]

Ok I won’t do that anymore but the front windshield is already cracked so I didn’t think it really mattered

[@onlythechosen3729]

Love that car!

[@dennisleporte2327]

Watch the hood son ! lol

[@mississippibarnfinesandcla3559]

I did but it’s rusted up the most

[@jeromezielinski8773]

For what reason was it necessary to walk on the trunk, roof , and hood ? You could have done them safely from the ground with out putting any dents in the metal ...

[@DanKirchner5150]

most gangster style caddy ever

[@bluesharp59]

Thumbs Up !

[@mariarusso1155]

Hi how are you doing.

[@bluesharp59]

@@mariarusso1155 Thanks and all is good.

[@mariarusso1155]

@@bluesharp59 Nice to hear, thanks for writing me back.

[@maxheadroom8857]

This is the first year Cadillac had a dual chamber brake master cylinder. Rambler, Cadillac and Jaguar were the only makes in 1962 that came with a dual chamber master cylinder. All models of Rambler (Rambler Ambassador, Rambler Classic and Rambler American), all models of Cadillac and all models of Jaguar came with the dual master cylinder starting in 1962. Rambler & Cadillac share the same master cylinder. GM only built its Cadillac line with the dual master cylinder from 1962-66, while Rambler made it standard on all its models including the 1962 Metropolitan. None of the other makes of cars built their cars with a dual master cylinder until it became mandatory in 1967. The master cylinder is not the original style dual master cylinder, as that MC for the 1962-63 models is discontinued. The OEM dual cylinder had screw on caps and was a 4 bolt master cylinder.

[@bigcurt011]

And also the first year for the cornering lamp and 3 phase rear lighting as well

[@doctormlem7204]

Дом и участок земли на фоне просто отличный! Выглядит очень приятно!

[@anthonytursak51]

Had one just like it in 1974 while in California at Edwards Air Force base.. lol What are you guys going to do with it?

[@mississippibarnfinesandcla3559]

I'm going to try to make it my High School car

[@danolson5387]

Just get the engine running. Forget about moving it.

[@PavelMarkovic88]

you have a treasure here

[@simonw2631]

Deserves to be restored

[@Mr05241948]

These are wonderful old cars, but unless you can do all the restoration yourself , it would cost a fortune

[@chriskeller2131]

sold

[@glenbo2464]

Scrub the outside with AJAX cleanser and a blue sponge.

[@mariobecerra9030]

[@michaelares4240]

Rebuild the entire car. I has the same car. Don’t make that mistake

[@sterlingfury]

One of my uncles always drove Cadillac because he said an early one saved his life in an accident. He had a Burgundy Red one of this model. His might have been two door I don't remember but probably not, they had four kids. He had the big tailwind model too I remember. Actually I think his like this was blue...a turquoiseee metallic blue.The big fin was reddish. Cool cars.
