Substantial changes were initiated 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.
