by Cadillac as the epochal decade of the 1940s began. For 1941, the
V-16 engine and LaSalle model line had been retired, as Cadillac
embraced its wide-ranging lineup and price points of the
Sixty-Series. Soon all civilian production would end as the winds
of war blew across the globe. As a result, 1941 would in turn be
the final time you could ever buy a Cadillac in the configuration
shown herethe Series 62 convertible sedan. With only 400 produced
in 1941, this spectacular representation of the body design
features a fully-detailed renewal completed by marque-expert Ron
Brooks, and it is recognized as a Full Classic the CCCA. Now
offered across the entire model line, Cadillac had re-engineered
the 346 CI L-head V-8 powerplant with 7.25:1 compression, a
downdraft carburetor and a rating of 150 HP and 283 lb-ft of
torque; this car uses a 3-speed manual transmission as well. Riding
on its 126-inch wheelbase, the car featured modern undercarriage
equipment, including the independent front suspension with coil
springs, semi-elliptic rear leaf springs and 4-wheel hydraulic drum
brakes. Dramatically covered in a brilliant Valcour Maroon paint
with matching-red leather interior and complementary beige canvas
convertible top, this four-door convertible sedan properly
possesses the prowess of the Standard of the World motif. Exterior
appointments include the introductory chrome-design egg-crate
grille, dual spotlights, a Goddess-style hood mascot, fender skirts
with Cadillac crests and conservative brightwork. Inside,
leather-covered seating with deep cushioning made driving a
pleasure, with the AM radio with antenna, Deco-font clock and
round-face speedometer among the accessories. This rare four-door
convertible rides on color-matched wheels displaying full-size
chrome wheel covers complemented with wide whitewall tires. The
prewar legacy of this classic marque would soon pass, but you too
can relive the era in this motorcar, the final-year Series 62
convertible sedan.Shown by appt only-ask for a delivery quote- WE
