1942 Cadillac Series 63 1956 Miles Green Sedan 346 V8 4 Speed Automatic

Description

The Series 63 was similar to the 61. It was available as a sedan only and rode on the same wheelbase. By the time the decision was made to drop the LaSalle for 1941 at least three wood and metal mockups had been made for potential LaSalle models. One was based on the notchback GM C platform which ended up being shared by the Cadillac Series 62 Buick Roadmaster and Super the Oldsmobile 90 and the Pontiac Custom Torpedo. A second was based on the fastback GM B platform which ended up being shared... by the Cadillac Series 61 the Buick Century and Special the Oldsmobile 70 and the Pontiac Streamliner Torpedo. A third was a modified notchback design derived from the fastback B-body but described as "A-body-like" that ended up being used by the Cadillac Series 63. Any or all of these could have ended up being part of the next LaSalle line. However it has been inferred that of the three the third design was most likely to have been a LaSalle with that platform being assigned exclusively to LaSalle and that the second design whose platform was shared with the Series 61 was the next most likely. GR Auto Gallery is pleased to present this 1942 Cadillac Series 63 for consideration.
