Gilmore Car Museum
LaSalle Cadillac Building
The 1950 Cadillacs featured extensive styling changes.
The cars looked heavier and had low, sleek contours with
longer rear decks. The hood protruded further out at the
front and was underlined by a massive egg crate grille.
One-piece windshields were introduced, and the leading edge
of the rear fenders was high-lighted by chrome imitation air
slots.
The Series 62, a step-up from the shorter Series 61, has slightly richer
interior appointments and chrome underscores running the full length of
the body at the bottom. A distinctive feature of all Cadillac cars was the
neat combination rear tail and directional signal lamps. The left unit also
serves to conceal the gasoline tank filler cap.
