On "My Car Story" we're in the Suburbs of Chicago on 9-14-16.
We're looking at a 1942 Cadillac Series 62 2 Door Coupe Fastback.
The 1942 Cadillac was manufactured in October 1941 just a few weeks before America’s entry into World War II. The war halted production in February 1942. The division turned out tanks, aircraft engines, and munitions until V-J day in 1945. On December, 31st 1941 Washington DC issued “Black Out” orders to Cadillac and the rest of the industry that no car would be delivered with stainless steel or chrome trim.
Cadillac built 16,511 cars for 1942, however only about 500 Series 62 2 Door Coupes, and this one as you can see has all the chrome.
The Cadillac Series 62, called the “ Sixty Two “ boasted a new “ Fastback “ Coupe, and is easily identified by its longer rear side windows and bullet-shape fenders.
The engine is a V8 346 CI, 150 HP L-Head motor.
The car's Owners are Art & Marge Swanson. Art & Marge shares their passion for the 1940’s Cadillacs body style and they both enjoy sharing their cars at the many car shows they attend.

Incredible automobile. I don't believe that I have ever seen photographs of this model, but I'm glad that you showed it to us, Lou. Thank you!
Hi Mike YQR, Happy to read you enjoy this car :-) Good news! Here is one more video of this car for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
This is the 5th or 6th time I am seeing this lovey car story, Grand car indeed and a kind and proud owner ❤️
Hi Mirch Shake, Happy to read you're enjoying this episode again & again :-) Lou P.S. Did you see this one too? ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
Love these old Caddy's..So honest and straightforward.. From a simpler time at least until the war..I was born too late!
Hi Alan, Happy to read you enjoy this one :-) Good news! I have one more video of this one for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
A 1942 ANYTHING is rare and chrome makes it even more so because of the war. Beautiful!
Glad you enjoy seeing this one Mike Brown :-) Hope you see many other cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Art your car is a work of art.Absolutely beautiful.I am so glade you kept it original and not chopped down.
Hi Philip steyn, "Art you car is a work of art." Nice :-) Lou
That's where the older cars have it all over the new stuff, it's called STYLE!
Agree, this car has style. Thank you for viewing and commenting, Lou
eldorado62 you are absolutely correct. I am 24 years old and I prefer the style of older cars over modern cars.
I know this video is 4-years old, but need to comment. That side view at the beginning is a perfect example of the peak of Art Deco automobile styling… as is the hood ornament. An era that will never be repeated in this age of CAFE fuel standards.
Thanks for sharing what you see regarding this car :-)
Any 1942 car is extremely rare because of the War years. More correctly known as a Sedanette body style (Fastback body designation came later) is one of my favorite body styles. The gas filler location under the driver-side tail-light is reminiscent of the 1956-7 Chevy. What a beautiful car!
Hi GeneDJ2, Thank you for viewing and sharing your knowledge. Hope you see many more cars on the Channel you'll enjoy, Lou
Lou, Art & the Caddy.
What a great trio.
Lou always finds the nicest guys with the most spectacular cars.
Hi Dan, Good news! Here is one more video of this car for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
This Cadillac looks so beautiful. In 41/42 america set the design for all the year to come, horizontal grill, "ponton" line and so on. Being in Europe, I'm more into italian and english cars but the american of that period are fantastic. Love all the fastback of that era (Cad 41 and Packard Clipper especially), design is wonderful, interior is still relatively simple and very elegant, and great restoration job of the gentleman for this rare bird.
Thanks for all your videos, a pleasure for any enthusiasts all around the world.
Hi Francois, Thank you for viewing and sharing what you like. Also appreciate your kind words on the videos :-) Lou
What a nice voice this gentleman has, radio narrator quality and his car is a jewel!
Hi Abe, Happy to read you enjoy Art's voice and his "jewel" of a car :-) Good news! Here is one more video of him sharing this car. Enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
Thank you showing that beautiful car at a distance far away enough to see the whole profile of the car. Too many car videos on UA-cam have the camera so close for all the video one never sees what the darn car looks like.
Thank you EFlat, Like you, I like the design, so I like to "take in the car" from a distance and reflect on the shape, Lou
Absolute beauty! It's my dream to own a car like this!
High praise #AJ 15 :-) Hope you find the right one for you soon, Lou
Such a great old guy.
Agreed.
A fantastic , increddible car . I love it - thanks for this presentation Lou
Hi MyOldi, High praise for this presentation :-) Good news! Here is a little bit more on this car for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/n2_Qnk0iLno/v-deo.html
OMG! This car is simply amazing! Wonderful design and details! Really nice one!
Glad you like this one :-)
A very rare automobile. I could understand why Art mentioned that there are only four left in the whole US. While the impressive front end with that famous Cadillac Dollar grin was part of the Cadillac line of those years the fastback styled rear had to have been a fairly recent introduction. That fastback styling also was carried on after the war for a number of years by Cadillac. Windshield washers in 1942! Who knew?
Hi ddkoda, Thank you for sharing your knowledge on this car. So fun to video and share a car like this. Lou
Thanks. It seems that this fastback styling was a portent of what was to come had the war not arrived.
AND, power antenna, even if it was vacuum actuated. Would never have guessed that one in '42!
What a magnificent piece of automotive artwork!

He probably talks as much as your daughter too!
My Dad had a 1957 Oldsmobile. The gas cap was under the left taillight. You lifted up the chrome and there it was. Just like the 1942 Cadillac. I thought that was so cool. I like the "Mini-Dagmars", too!

Hi ObsoleteOddity, Nice :-) Happy to read you enjoy Art's work of art :-) Lou
@@loucostabile cheers Lou :)
I love these cars. Superb styling... I feel that Cadillac was the best in the industry. First top of the line luxury car in the US with a fully automatic transmission - neither Chrysler or Lincoln had one for at least another decade! I bet you get a ton of driving enjoyment out of this one.

Hi Jeff, Cool website, thank you for sharing, Lou
Lou, Thank you for giving us a look at this beautiful piece of Americana.
Hi John Alfeld, It's my pleasure and your welcome. Thank you for viewing and sharing a wonderful comment, Lou
This body style was quite a sensation at the time, and I think it carries the two-toning perfectly. I also like the flying lady hood ornament, and that gas story Art told. It's very fortunate that he was able to obtain one that was built in all its glory. Quite a treasure indeed. Great show, Lou!
Hi iswc27, Happy to read you enjoy this car, and good news! I have one more video of this one for you to enjoy and here is the link, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
way ahead of its time-i had a 51 plymouth that looked older than this does styling -wise
That's interesting. Thank you for sharing info on your car, Lou
My first car was a nearly identical '52 Plymouth. Compare it to the '55 Plymouth, just three model years later; a wholly new and different car. My '52 was a solidly built car, conservative, and the end of a great era.
definitely though i messed up it was a chrysler windsor that i had ,fluid drive ,flat head 6 ,etc same thing ,these cars were locked in that pre-war design still
Wow, my first car was also a 1952 Plymouth Cranbrook, 4 door sedan. I hated it. It was homely, sluggish, under powered, low oil pressure and not much in the way of style. It was sort of a "Chick repeller" vehicle in high school. Add a flat-head six engine and it was sort of an embarrassment. Otherwise, it's most redeeming trait was a huge back seat which came in handy many times.
A Clark street production!... nice Caddy!
HI Billy Pate, Glad to read you enjoy this car :-) Lou
One of my my friends owned one like that he was a fan of classic cars
Your friend has great taste in classic cars :-)
Thanks for the link! Harley Earle was ahead of his time! This definitely predicts the early 50s!

You sure got a lot of car back then. I'm surprised to see a windshield washer system. What a beautiful sounding engine. I would have loved for you to go for a ride.
Funny you say that. On the Channel I enjoy sharing / hearing the Owners story & then we I do a review of the car. Sometimes I do go for a ride and as a matter of fact, stay tuned as there is a 1954 Chevrolet Corvette ride coming soon :-) Lou

beautiful car. i would be so blessed to test drive something like that for one block. this is my dream car. one day i will have something this amazing
Hi Carmine Giammarino. You have great taste in cars :-) Hope you get yours soon, Lou
The strange looking fuel pump with the glass filter on top is actually a dual pump; top is fuel and bottom is vacuum. The vacuum pump was an "assist" for the vacuum windshield wipers which would stall-out when vacuum was lost which would occur when the engine was under load as in climbing hills. Common to have this pump fail or have vacuum line leaks and we would just put up with the poor wiper operation. Was used on most GM cars into the 1950's.

Great video of a grand old Cad, but it would have been nice if Lou asked Art how he came by the car and its condition. Also if Art had taken Lou on a test drive.
Hi Harvey, Ahhh a drive would have been great, but did not happen this time. Good news! There is one more video of this car for you to enjoy, Lou ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html
Love this car ! In my fantasy car collection, this would be one of two caddies in that collection. ( the other a '64 Fleetwood ). I'm not a big fan of two-tone color scheme but this is a killer, although I might change the colors. This video was so good I watched again. Lou, you do a great job. I'm looking though your play list and you have quite a resume'. How long have you been at this Lou ? I can tell you really love what your doing ! Maybe you should do a video on how this all came about ? Love your shirt ! Watch out Jay Leno
Hi Vincent Basso, You have excellent taste in cars. This car was so good, I did two videos, so here is the 2nd one for you. ua-cam.com/video/C8YoXdUCBVw/v-deo.html The first "My Car Story" was at the Muscle Car & Corvette National, and here is the first one ua-cam.com/video/sX4WsQcrcu4/v-deo.html Regarding "watch out Jay Leno" , that is quite the compliment; so thank you. I watch and enjoy many of Jay's videos. I hope & look forward to meeting him some day and share stories. THANK YOU for being such a Fan of the Channel and encouraging me, Lou
OMG! Please stop with the comedic commentary. My side is aching due to your acerbic wit. "Watch out Jay Leno?" Hilarious!
Incredible gem.......
Glad you enjoy this car :-)
Glad a mature gentleman bought this car, and did not restomod it. No Northstar V8 retrofit here! I remember reading an article about an early 40s Continental where the owner replaced the V12 with a 460 and C6 transmission. He made some enemies with that!
Hi Michael, The right Care Taker with the right Car :-)

. ........................ very nice automobile ....................... very nice man ......................... many thanks !!!
You're welcome JOHN MCCLINTOCK :-) Lou
Nice old chap but little amazed at the lack of knowledge though? It's a 61 series, not a 62. The 61 series was the cheapest Cadillac, not the top series and would have been the entry-level LaSalle had they not been discontinued. Only the 61 series cars had fastback design. Superior models were the 62,60S,63,67, and 75. The Harrison radiator plate was identified as the Vin? but the Vin plate is actually on the drive side of the cowl near the hood hinge, which would state the series and style.
One of these exsac models was imported to England about 30 years back.
Awesome automobile!

The series 62 was mid grade, with series 61 being the entry level and the series 60 (Fleetwood) being top of the line for normally sized Caddies in '42.
Thank you EricJamesHanson, for viewing and sharing your knowledge, Lou
Dream car in a dream country!!!
Well said.
Think this car is one of the best designs from the 1940's. At a time when" Made in the USA" seemed to mean care and pride. As well as quality. I know we probably can't bring chrome back to modern Auto production, but, maybe a change in the way styling could be done, along with safety in mind, also, bring back more color variety, just mostly Black, White and Gray with most vehicles, and the prices on some, Sheesh!
