The Coupe de Ville was introduced by Cadillac late in the 1949 model year. Part of the Cadillac Series 62 line, it was a closed, two-door coupé, Cadillac's first pillarless hardtop. Intended as a prestige model, at $3,497 it was one of the most expensive models of the Series 62 line. It was luxuriously trimmed, with leather upholstery and chrome 'bows' in the headliner to simulate the ribs of a convertible top. The first-year Coupe de Ville sold 2,150 units, but 1950 sales were more than double, and 1951 more than doubled those of the previous year. By 1961 it was one of the company's most popular models, with annual sales above 20,000.

Cadillac De Ville nomenclature always followed a tradition: Two doors with steel roofs were always Coupe De Ville, four doors were always Sedan De Ville until the elimination of two door models, and convertibles were Series 62s, as they were neither a coupe, nor a sedan by design. Further, from the beginning and for many years, De Ville denoted an option package on the basic car (called Series 62, later Calais), not the body style. In other words, a four-door Cadillac might not be a Sedan De Ville, and in which case it would not have such lettering on the flanks of the car. In 1956 the Coupe de Ville was joined by the Sedan de Ville, a four-door hardtop sedan. The Sedan de Ville would ultimately outlive its two-door predecessor. For 1958 the car was fitted with quad headlights.
