Killer Hot Rods & Customs<\/a> built this 1949 Cadillac Series 62 at their company in Alvarado, Texas. The sedan is powered by a 5.9 L Cummins 12v turbodiesel inline-six featuring a BorgWarner turbocharger, Mishimoto intercooler, and Griffin aluminum radiator. Behind that is a Chrysler 46RE four-speed automatic transmission and Currie rear end. The suspension uses a Heidts front crossmember with power steering rack and multilink rear suspension. Braking is handled by Wilwood disc brakes covered by Detroit Steel 20-inch wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport tires (245\/40, 255\/45). The body is covered in metallic blue paint contrasted by black painted bumpers, grill, badges, and side mirrors. You can find the car for sale on Bring a Trailer<\/a>.<\/p>\n
