Looks to be in great shape, bucket seats, a/c and a desirable color combo; black paint, white top and red interior.  It checks all the boxes.  It is funny how all the CLC members tend to value Cadillacs on the low side and non-members offer higher valuations.  I would not dismiss 50k without seeing the car.  At Hershey a low mileage (maybe under 30k, original) 1961 Cadillac convertible (light blue with dark blue leather) and no ac sold for 70k a few years ago.  The 1961 probably needed everything rubber replaced, because it was a super original car.

Shouldn’t the door panels match the seats?

So true Scott and I see this in three other car clubs I belong to for other makes as well. Makes no sense at all why folks undervalue their own cars.

I really hate it when people only chime in to post a negative, but I have to say those wheels and tires absolutely sabotage the look of that car for me. I think the original wheel covers and tires are much classier and better looking.  I have to force myself to stop staring at those wheels and look at the rest of the car ... which is a very nice 1962. Of course this is something that could be easily switched back. Ultimately it is up to the owner to modify and enjoy the car as they see fit.  For me, it is still a very nice car and sure would love to have it in my driveway.  Personally, if I were going to go non-factory I would look into a clean look like the Centerline Champ 500's I use to run on my IROC-Z back in my college days.

I see this on a lot of makes as well. I think it is because enthusiasts familiar enough with a make to participate in a club are familiar with the real cost of ownership and not blinded by‘collectibility or investment’ points of view.

I don’t think it is undervalue as much as B-J is a hype machine that various ‘interests’ use to inflate values for tax write off, insurance and investment purposes. Not to mention Network advertising revenue.

For the average auto hobbyist/enthusiast, a full day spent walking the entire auction field during the mid -portion of a Barrett Jackson Scottsdale auction can be the most efficient and valuable experience to instruct on the status and direction of the hobby.  There is no comparison with watching the scripted televised versions of the event.  The reality simultaneously thrills, shocks, inspires and traumatizes.

Black with red  on a Caddy is stunning and if you want a ready to drive car is 50$ really so high?, sure you can buy an ok one for high 20,s and run it all over trying to upgrade but to the guy who wanted a no hassle driver this works

Guide price for a "10" is $58900.   So if it's a 10, then it sold "cheap" but if the door panels were "wrong", it's not a "10".
Hagerty says "excellent" at $55000 and that's down from 2018 high in line with the guide.   They base on auction prices for insurance replacement cost.
I don't see that as a "strong" sell.   One has to remember, there's another 10% on top of that auction price, unless they cut a deal, which brings it in line with the guide prices. 
Convs sell at quite a premium to the other models - for obvious eye appeal reasons.
So as they say, "unremarkable".  ie no remarks needed.

...and wheels/tires.

$121K has to be record sale range for a '64 Cadillac. I can't help thinking the strong stock market playing a  role in some of the auction prices lately.
