1957 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible in Silver & Ride on My Car Story with Lou Costabile 

Hi, If you like this video, please click on SUPER THANKS ❤ with the $ in the middle which is the SUPER THANKS button under the video. Thank you! Lou

My dad once owned a 1958 Cadillac Series 62 hardtop coupe. I once sat in his lap and steered it. Having the boy riding along brought back a happy memory of that.

CLASSIC CLASS. they dont make them like this anymore, and they never will again. thank you lou for bringing this beauty to us.

Absolutely stunning,work of art on wheels. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

That car was when Cadillac was truly "The Standard of the World."

Wow what a nice Caddy, a piece of American history, thanks Lou!

The '57 is the classiest looking of '50's Caddys. In the '60's my Aunt & Uncle had a '57 Sedan Deville. It was the first time I ever saw power windows and I was mesmerized. I remember my aunt saying "Please don't touch the window buttons anymore because anytime you touch anything in this car it costs us $100 to fix." My Uncle drove me and my cousins up to NH in that car and I remember looking at the speedometer and we were over 100 MPH. My Uncle said to me "whatever you do don't tell your mother, she'll kill me." I was in heaven because I could tell my friends that I went 100 MPH. Cool video on one of my favorite Cadillacs. Thanks Lou!

That was awesome Lou. Thank you! This Cadillac looked right at home driving past the North Suburbs mansions. I love it when people actually drive their beautiful cars. Thank you also to the McNabola family 👍

Beautiful Cadillac! Classy is right. A real glimpse into a by-gone era. Thanks Lou!

What a great Cadillac! There is no doubting you have arrived when that iconic front end makes its appearance. It's a treat for both passengers and spectators whenever one of these is around. And plenty of luxury and top down motoring around Lake Michigan to finish this fine car and fine video out. Thanks, Lou!

Truly a classic. Kudos to the owner. May you enjoy it for years to come and make lots of memories not to be forgotten! 👍

Hi Ho, Silver! ‘57 Cadillacs were quite special. Love the lavish chrome work, too!

I remember this Cadillac mostly from riding in the back of Station Wagons with family and friends. We would look at the 'Faces' of cars right behind us and this 57 was one of my favorites. I had an Uncle that owned this car and many other Cadillacs. It seemed like all my Uncles had cool cars when I was growing up. (these were men that were from the WWI era) Thanks Lou. Keep the Classic vehicles of the 40's, 50's and 60's coming.

What a pleasure to look at this beautiful Caddy ! This Cadillac was built at a time when cars were built, not made of plastic as are the cars of today. This car was the King of the road. Cadillac was a pleasure to drive, look at and own. I Love It ! Eddie Martin😊

One of the most beautiful cars ever made 😍😍😍😍😍 Thanks Lou!

Absolute beauty

Thanks!

Terrific Caddy Lou! The silver on red is a great color combo, and a convertible too.. Cruisin' in style. Nice feature today with the family, thanks!

🙋‍♂️THANKS LOU,JOHN TED,TONY,FOR SHARING THIS BEAUTIFUL CAR AND THE GREAT COLOR COMBO AND ALL THE CHROME YOU COULD WANT…AND THE SECRET 🤫 VIEWS OF LAKE MICHIGAN 💚💚💚

In the beginning and through the 60's, Cadillacs were so special. This '57 is such a great example of that. Can't say much for the look of Caddy's today - nothing special about them. Just take a look at the front end of this 57. BEAUTIFUL. Everything is over the top and fits together so nicely. I could not find one thing that should be changed. OMG - the sound is the best part!!

What a beauty.

Beautiful old car Lou thanks for the video.

Прекрасне авто! Дякую!

Wow! This is nice looking Cadillac.

The 57 is my all time favorite Caddie. Especially the Biarritz trim. Simply...WOW!😮 My son rebuilds 62s. Currently working on a '51 restomod with 505 hp (dyno'd). Its a rat rod now, but wait till its done!

I like this more than the vaunted 1959. Back when America mattered.

I like that year better then the bullet lights of later years

A beauty!! Thank you so much, Lou!!! And congratulations to the happy owners! This doesn’t detract from the car at all, but I’m surprised GM didn’t include power windows, which were available on other top of the line models like the Olds 98, Buick, etc.

Beautiful car, sounds like it has a rod knocking when he stated it up. Thanks for showing this beautiful car guys.

Excellent classic Cadillac designed by Harley Earl and Chuck Jordan. Wild style, competed well with Exner's Forward Look cars for 1957.

Wow! Nice Caddy!

By far more fabulous than the 59. I love the fins on this old gal. 58 as well. Silver is especially nice. Great video Lou!

Cadillac's slogan back in the day was...."Standard of the World!"..awesome! Thanks for posting! Be blessed always!!

When I in high school, I worked part time at the standard station at Milwaukee and Lake Avenue. I remember when certain cars would come in I’d be looking for the gas cap some of them. I learned after the first time I don’t recall that Cadillac opening I remember the Volkswagen beetles they had to open the trunk in the front and you put the gas up in that area, that’s what cars were cars

A true work of automotive design. Thanks Ted, John, and Lou.

Beautiful Caddy ❤ Thanks for posting Lou!

Lou, what a gr8 feature. "The standard of the world." You do a wonderful job of keeping your replies to the commentary above board. But man... occasionally there are some things written in the comments i just dont get...can't please everyone i guess. 🤷 Keep up the good work and terrific cars and features.

Nice Convertible. Back many years ago my first convertible was a '57 Cadillac series 62. I remember driving with the top down. Rode like a magic carpet on the road. Not bad mileage if you kept it to 60-65. Around town not so much.

Those Dagmars really mean business. Impressive old Caddy for sure . Can we go back to feature cars that aren't missing their roof after this?🙂

What a great looking car there the gas filler at the similar to a 57 Nomad station wagon behind the tail light🎉

very nice 😊

Hey Lou, thanks for what you're doing. I'm 67 and these old boats are the best cars ever made. 2 things I wish you would do in your videos. Slow down as you pan across things such as the dash of a car, they are works of art!. Second - before you go to film a car - get more familiar with that car, do some research. So when you point something out you don't need to be corrected by the owner. PLEASE! Take this all, as compliments to what you do. KEEP DOING MORE!

Wow 100% coolest car made Like color of car as

He’s giving you a spin through the ravines. I go through the on my motorcycle all the time it’s beautiful you gotta watch the cop. There’s a spot where there’s a cop sitting all the time when you just get into the readings heading north. I believe that big mansion used to be W Clement stones mansion the one with the two buildings at the gates in the greenhouse it’s beautiful I go up there looking for money in the curbs.

Thank you for always going over the interior and all of the switches/most car videos go too quick over the interior, which is what I am the most interested in / have a question, the control they said was for the outside mirrors? On my grandparents 1958 Cadillac that was the washer-windshield switch

👍💯👀💯👍

Lou. Never end a sentence with at

I agree that the 1957 Cadillac was one of the special cars in style. Thank you for sharing this car. And he is right about Buick and their transmissions. The Nail head was a great engine. We owned a 56 Buick Roadmaster. The transmission was never good. Great restoration on this car. And these cars were so heavy. Thank you Lou for sharing! 💯👍👊

NOT a FAKE EXHAUST, they may have changed it but from the factory the EXHAUST came through those outlets.( I grew up with the 57 Cadilac.)

Classic cars aren’t made, they’re born. That hood ornament will slice and dice you like the Veg-O-Matic

Cool car! I don't think that the exhaust was that loud when the car was new. The Park shift indicator identifies it as the 315 model HydraMatic. The previous model HydraMatic continued to be used in light trucks into the 1960's and Rolls-Royce bought the equipment and rights to manufacturer this earlier model, using it in their cars through 1967 with the Euro spec first Silver Shadow. After that, they bought the TH400 from GM for many years.

My friends and I called my car in high school "The Beast". This one is much nicer 👍

Cadillac crushed the luxury car competition in the late Fifties. Neither Lincoln or Imperial came anywhere close…and Packard was reduced to being a rebadged Studebaker. Everything about this car says you’ve arrived!

Redefining the term land yacht

Lou, you need to find a 1956 Lincoln Continental.

Quite elegant, but not the most elegant car. It does exceed at commanding the respect of the beholder. It also looks like a loose prelude to the '58 Chevy! I've noticed that the '54 Buick, Olds, and Cadillac, all already had the more modern '55-'57 Chevy look to them, with the Chevy and Pontiac looking more antiquated with their early '50s profiles. This Cadillac really typifies the lowering greenhouse lines of the era. That underdash speaker grill looks like the grill of a '70-'73 Camaro RS split bumper!

Beautiful car, great video. I was 12yo at the time! I'm still confused though: what was the price/luxury of Series 62? I know Eldorado was top, but was 62 ahead of Coupe/Sedan de Ville?

Series 62. The "basic" Cadillac 😉

As beautiful as this car was when it came out, the difference between what Chrysler was coming out with, like the DODGE, PLYMOUTH, CHRYSLER, DeSOTO, and IMPERIAL all with the new "sweptwing design" and even FORD with the new MERCURY with "dream car design", Cadillac still seemed a little behind in design. Not until 1959 would they make their statement and literally blow everyone else out of the water ! Even though I was only twelve and thirteen at the time, I loved that time of automobile designs. Today, unfortunately, they all seem to look alike.

Oh it is difficult to decide where to begin. The reason this car has four parking light relates to the fact that it most likely has the optional Fog Lights, In 1957 the rear bumper exhaust ports were functional as built. In 1958 they were dummies. Due to the design of the new "X" frame the trunk floor layout was very poor. On two door models the styling was well received. Unfortunately the 4 door Sedan DeVille and 62 four door hardtop were five inches shorter and presented a very unpopular stubby appearance. By the time this car was produced Hydra Matic had been in production since 1940 and successful provided millions of owner untold miles of enjoyable trouble free driving pleasure. At the time Hydra Matic was well known for it's durability, excellent performance, and fuel economy. As the producer of these video features you had an obligation to edit out the totally uninformed, negative, and completely inaccurate comments relative to Hydra Matic performance made by the owner in this presentation.

Maybe I am bias, but the 57 300c looks way better

Why is that an ugly car?😊😅😮😢🎉 😂

It never ceases to amaze me how people can own a car for years, and then agree to show it off, yet don't know much about it.
