This 1959 Cadillac Series 62 six-window hardtop sedan was signed by and used to transport boxer Muhammad Ali and his family around the Louisville, Kentucky area in the mid-1990s while the vehicle was owned by Ali’s friend and assistant, Frank Sadlo. The car is finished in blue with a white roof over blue and black upholstery, and power comes from a 390ci V8 paired with a four-speed automatic transmission. Equipment includes power-assisted brakes, power steering, wheel covers, whitewall tires, a power-adjustable front seat, power windows, and a hidden Pioneer stereo.
Delivered from the factory in Georgian Blue with a Dover White top (24-12), the pillarless hardtop body is said to have been repainted in the 1990s. Equipment includes chrome bumpers and trim, fender skirts, a single-row rear grille, upright fins, and dual-bullet-style taillights.
The steel wheels wear Cadillac Motor Division hubcaps, and they are mounted with L76–15 bias-ply whitewall tires. The Series 62 rode on a 130″ wheelbase for 1959 and featured an independent front suspension and a live rear axle with coil springs at all four corners. Power-assisted steering and four-wheel drum brakes were standard equipment.
The cabin features front and rear bench seats trimmed in blue vinyl with patterned black and blue cloth inserts along with blue door panels and carpeting. Equipment includes a six-way electrically adjustable front seat, front lap belts, power windows, a clock, and a rear armrest. A Pioneer remote-control stereo is located beneath the front bench.
The two-spoke steering wheel features a chrome horn ring and frames a 120-mph speedometer and gauges for fuel level and coolant temperature.
The 390ci V8 features five main bearings and a four-barrel carburetor, and it was factory rated at 325 horsepower and 430 lb-ft of torque.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission. A replacement fuel tank and dual exhaust system were installed in 2001.
The underhood body plate decodes as follows:
- Style 59-6229 – 1959 Cadillac Series 62 four-door six-window hardtop
- Body FW23371 – Fleetwood assembly plant, Detroit, Michigan; production sequence number

- Paint 24-12 – Georgian Blue paint with Dover White top
- ACC EHKXY – E-Z-Eye glass, heater, air conditioning, electric window regulators, six-way power-adjustable front bench seat
The Cadillac is titled by the number 59K141348, which is listed on the California-issued Replacement Identification Number blue tag shown above. That same number is cited as the Engine No. on the nearby white tag.
