The 1954 model year was big for Cadillac, starting with a redesign of the basic Series 62 model. The new Caddy was lower, sleeker, and featured exhaust tips that exited through upswept bumper extensions. A wraparound windshield completed the flowing good looks of the middle 1950s, before the fin wars took hold.

The Series 62 was available in a variety of body styles, including a 4-door sedan, 4-door Sedan De Ville, 2-door hardtop coupe and Coupe De Ville, and a 2-door convertible.

Cadillac’s engine in this year was a 331-cid V-8 that produced 230 horsepower. The only available transmission was a 4-speed Hydramatic automatic unit.
