I am representing and assisting an elderly car enthusiast friend who has been a long time collector of primarily post-war American classic automobiles who desires to reduce his inventory. Some are originals in surprisingly good condition while others have had varying degrees of professional restoration. Most vehicles were purchased in the Chicago area 20 to 35 years ago and initial restorations were undertaken, if required, at that time. Most all of the vehicles were not driven but were put on display and have since been stored in ventilated, dry storage. Currently all vehicles reside in dry storage in Port Townsend, Washington. Please be advised that the owner will share in reasonable transport costs. Also note that all reasonable offers will be seriously considered.
The vehicle featured in this ad is a 1949 Cadillac series 62 convertible, automatic, which is rust and dent free and was painted, Lucerne Green, plated and had the interior redone including seats, brown leather, carpets and top as per original. The power top is not operational at this time but all parts are available and included…Asking $54,000 VIN# 496235164
From Wikipedia:
The new Cadillac OHV V8 was the big news for 1949, with minor trim differences otherwise. This 331 cu in engine produced 160 hp.The major difference between Series 61 and Series 62 models of similar body style was minor trim variations. The higher-priced series again had grooved, front fender stone shields and bright rocker panel moldings. Chevrons below the taillights were no longer seen. The convertible was an exclusive offering. A heater was optional.
