Morgantown, PA
Description:
1948 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe A lead sled is a standard production automobile with a body heavilymodified in particular ways especially, though not exclusively, a1949, 1950, or 1951 model year Ford 'Shoebox' or Mercury Eight car.In the name, "lead", (as in the heavy metal) ,refers to the use oflead as a body filler in early days, and "sled" refers to thelowering of the vehicle, giving these vehicles the appearance thatthey were "slip sliding" down the highway. For consignment, a lead sled in 1948 Cadillac series 62 form andlooking similar to ZZ top star Billy Gibbons CadZIlla. A completelyoutrageous car with a chopped roofline, frenched headlights, tintedglass, painted bumpers and a custom tail light setup. Low n slowbut it will go very fast if you want. All bathed in Blurple,(excuse me!), and shining like a crazy diamond. ExteriorOur consignor has spent copious amounts of money to make thiscreation and it shows all over it. A custom fashioned chromedwaterfall grille, Blurple, (excuse me!), a painted bumper withinserted signal lights, frenched headlights and a bulbous hood andthis is just the start. That hood has a gaggle of blue and pinkpinstripe flourish and the ornament topper is long gone. Theroofline has been chopped and now sports tinted glass. The longfront quarters are devoid of any chrome,and the doors use poppersto open them as the handles have been shaved. Custom body matchingmirrors hang off of the doors. The back of the car is a beautifulextruded bubble for the trunk and rear glass just above. Allshavedand clean. The iconic rear quarters have a bump up on theirtrailing edges and in lieu of the taillight being there some customvertical tail lights have been inserted into the backs of thequarters. Another Blurple, (excuse me!), painted bumper seamlesslyruns between the rear renters and tail light panels. Fender skirtsnearly obscure the rear wheels but these are 15-inch ColoradoCustom wheels all polished and wrapped with 225/55R17 low profilerubber. InteriorA pop of the doors and I'm greeted with a nifty combo of tweed andleather. Leather for the sills and tweed for the lowers which housea simple billet actuator and a molded in armrest. All thismenagerie is in a cream and mauve color way. Seats take from thedoor panels and are using cream leather on the wide tuck and rollseats and back inserts and mauve tweed for the bolsters. A customconsole runs through the center and is mauve tweed and a leathertop. In back is a fancy overstuffed cream leather tuck and rollbench which is just fab! Upfront is a Blurple dash with late modelsweep instruments in the drivers side panel. A couple of eyeball ACvents and knobs for AC are also in this panel which stretchedacross the front. Cream is the coloring for the padded dash top. Onthe rise to the dash from the console is a Boss AM/FM/Bluetoothtouch screen radio. In the center console are also toggles for thewindows and seat adjustment joysticks. Fronting the dash for thedriver is a billet styled leather covered steering wheel on a tiltcolumn. The paint on the dash front is showing a few cracks. Acustom tweed headliner is above all this action. DrivetrainIn the restored engine bay now sits a big block 454ci V8. Ourconsignor states it puts out 330hp but no documentation is seen toback this up. It has a single 4-barrel carburetor on top and aTH350 3 speed automatic transmission on back. The rear axle is a 10bolt 2.43 geared version. Stock dual exhaust is on for theexhale. UndercarriageAll clean and rust proofed to perfection and no rust. Also nearlynon existent road dirt. Independent coil springs are in front, andon back a 4 link with coil springs is on. Power disc brakes are infront and power drums for the back Drive-AbilityThe car fires right up and runs like a Cadillac with a 454ci V8.Very smooth, great acceleration and all the power options were inworking order. A slightly aged look to this build but still totally custom andexterior lines that just sing.
