I have my parents 58 Cadillac series 62 sedan, they bought in 1960. I was 1 year old. Has factory air and power windows. It's the same color as this car. Its called PRESTWICK GRAY. and same silver color inside. What you saw under the dash was actually the speaker for the radio. In 58 they put the speaker in the front dash with a speaker in the rear. I'm still driving the caddy today. I'm 60, its 62. Were growing old together lol.

Mine had black leather in the front. The box on the front hump is a speaker. The ac vent was in the ceiling the same as in the rear compartment.

That grilled box under the dash is a speaker, not an ac unit.

You know your classic cars! This unit doesn't have ac anyway...if it did it would have louvers on the rear fenders just behind the roof because some components of the air conditioning system were in the trunk.

Beautiful car but not a limousine. This is an 8 passenger sedan. The limos had a retractable glass partition between the drivers and passengers compartments and the front compartment was usually done in black leather. This car was probably originally a family car for a funeral home.

I've always been in love with the '58 model. Never seen a '57 before. Well... I guess my preference has just gone back a year LOL! This one is much more refined that the '58 version.

I hate to be a "wet blanket," as we said during the 1940s and 1950s, but this is NOT a limousine! A limousine has plain leather on the front seat and a glass partition that separates the driver's compartment from the uppity passengers.

I think this car has division glass, but it's not up, that solid dashboard in front of the jump seats looks like the housing for it. I don't think you got that in the regular long wheelbase 8-passenger sedan. But I wasn't buying Cadillacs in 1957, so can't be sure.

I road in one, also a 1957 Caddy limo, a black one, in May 1957, my paternal grandfather's funeral procession. The one I road in did not have a partition between the driver's seat and the passenger compartment.

That dove grey color was original, alright. I remembers it on a '57 Cad limousine that an old customer of mine (funeral director) bought new and still had in his fleet garage in Los Angeles in 1991. He said it was so beautiful he never had the heart to sell it. A number of his customers were still asking for it as their mourners' transportation to the cemetery in the 1980's & 90's. Hope his daughter still has it since she's now in charge of the business.
