1950 Series 62 Sedan

Chip Lord writes......

This ivory Series 62 sedan  had a green roof, and it wasn't running when we bought it at a junk yard in Dumas, Texas, fifty miles north of Amarillo. We towed it back to Amarillo. During the construction of Cadillac Ranch, we scavenged the hood ornaments and front hub caps from each of the cars as souvenirs, but we told people that breaking out the headlights was consistent with Aztec burial practices.  Cadillac produced 55,352 of these sedans, making it their most popular model of the 1950's, but it is our least favorite of the ten cars.  The model lineup did not change much in the first design cycle of the decade - 1950 to 1953. These four years are almost indistinguishable styling wise, and thus only one car is used to represent the cycle.
