Can anyone take a look at the photo and tell me what the year model of this Caddy is?  I'm kinda a pre-war guy.

Owner is asking 3k and I suspect he will take less, but I have no idea what year this is, or the approximate value.  It looks to be all original, and other than the crest on the hood, I think everything is there.

A little help please?

Joe:

Looks like a 1954 series 62 coupe to me. The asking price of $3K may be
about right assuming the engine is free and all parts are there.  Beyond
that, I can't tell you more without additional info.  Also, from that one pic
I can't tell what the rust situation is in the floor, trunk and other areas.

The information on the data plate (on the firewall) would be a good place
tp start along with some additional detailed pics.

Thanks Mike!

I'll try and get over there to take a look early next week.  Take more pictures if I can.
