Vehicle Description
Very sharp, older restoration to a long time California car! Fully
restored cosmetically approximately 20 years ago, this CCCA Full
Classic continues to show very well! Nicely equipped with 346ci V8,
Hydra-Matic transmission, radial whitewalls, and Cadillac Deluxe
trim throughout! All new styling in 1941 for Cadillac models
showcased headlights now fully integrated into the fenders for the
first time, along with a hood that opened from the front. This
allowed for a horizontal grill to stretch further better
highlighting the entire front end. Also available for the first
time was the Hydra-Matic automatic transmission, and a hidden gas
tank filler underneath the rear taillight trim. An interesting
feature that would become a Cadillac trademark for many years to
follow! We are delighted to offer this 1941 Cadillac Series 62
Convertible Coupe finished in Valcour Maroon with Tan Leather
interior! Under the hood lies a 346ci V8 engine providing 150
horsepower and impressive 283 ft. lb. of torque through a
Hydra-Matic transmission! Additional features include
heater/defrost, under seat heaters, vacuum-powered folding
convertible top, dash clock (converted to Quartz), Glare-Proof
mirror, dual outside mirrors, front & rear bumper guards, full
fender skirts, cowl vent, full chrome wheel discs, and Coker
Classic 235/75R15 radial whitewall tires! Believed to be
professionally restored in approximately 1989-90 to include all new
rebuilt engine (new lifters installed in 2017), new rebuilt
Hydra-Matic to replace the factory original 3-speed manual, all new
labeled cloth-covered wiring from front to back, new lacquer
exterior paint, completely new interior with leather front seating
surfaces, Stayfast canvass top & boot cover, fresh braking system,
some re-plated chrome where appropriate, expertly painted burled
walnut dash, and much more! Recently it received new Coker Classic
radial tires, fresh drive belts & coolant hoses, all new engine
fluids, new spark plugs & wires, and other standard maintenance.
This car hails from the hands of collector, Robert Renwick, who
maintained possession for 18 years to drive at his winter home in
California, before letting go in October 2017. It was last owned by
a prominent St. Louis collector before being traded as partial
payment on a 1924 Rolls Royce Silver Ghost Paul Mall Touring
earlier this summer. It remains an excellent example with strong
touring credentials, and is listed a CCCA Full Classic making for a
popular choice for CCCA Caravans. Please feel free to call with
additional questions, or schedule a chance to review closer in
person!
