1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe

The 1941 Cadillac Convertible coupe is one of the most desired Cadillac's ever built; few of the 3,100 manufactured remain today. Buyers at the time would walk right by most of the other luxury brands if they could have a Cadillac instead. Buyers knew that Cadillac was a solid, reliable and beautiful car that was the envy of their neighbors and it was American engineering in the best sense of the word. Production for the year was a record high 66,000 cars, exceeding any previous year by 20,000 units. However, of that record number, only 3,100 were convertible coupes and it was to be the last full production year before the outbreak of WWII.

This rare example comes to us after being part of a significant collection assembled by a very discerning life long classic car enthusiast. For many years as part of this collection it was serviced, maintained and exercised regularly while being displayed in a fully climate controlled environment. It is finished in traditional Valcour Maroon Metallic with cream and tan leather interior complimented beautifully with a tan soft top. This car features the smooth running 150 HP Cadillac 346 L head V8 housed in a very well detailed engine bay. This ultra-quiet running motor uses hydraulic valve lifters and a Stromberg 2 barrel carburetor and is coupled to the 3 speed manual transmission. The interior features a beautiful burled wood dash board with art deco style instrumentation very indicative of the time period. The power soft top is finished in tan color that is a perfect accent color for the body color combined with wide white wall tires. As a result of a frame off restoration, this striking Cadillac would make a welcome addition to any collection. If you're looking for a beautiful car that represents the pinnacle of early 40's Harley Earl designs, this car is the one.
