1941 was a remarkable year for General Motors. Perhaps the drums of war had an effect on the stylists, engineers, and workers who were putting
cars together that year, because the machines they turned out were some of the highest-quality, most beautifully styled cars of all time. With the
introduction of the Hydramatic 4-speed automatic transmission in the Cadillac lineup, GM’s top-of-the-line brand had a lot to be proud of, and they set
sales records in virtually every segment. With the mighty V16 gone in 1939, it fell to cars like this Series 62 convertible coupe to carry the luxury
banner, and they were so successful that these cars remain some of the most sought-after collectibles of the late pre-war era. And as legitimate
CCCA Full Classics, they are welcome at every big event and caravan, where their superlative road manners and comfortable interiors make them a
favorite for folks who like to drive their machinery. This 1941 Series 62 Convertible shows very well with its triple black combination. The recent
cosmetic restoration sports new paint, leather interior, and top, trimmed with red piping, making for a stunning combination. The chrome and stainless
are very nice, considering the car was painted a few years ago. The leather interior is excellent with no cracks or blemishes. The carpet is new and
the trunk is nicely finished with black carpet as well. The tires are older but have excellent tread. The correct steel wheels carry four wheel discs with
Cadillac emblems. The 150hp engine moves this car down the road nicely at highway speeds. Brakes are good and stops the car straight. The last
owner did add a temperature gauge for touring purposes. Its full Classic status, makes this model very popular on CCCA Caravans or just taking the
family out for a drive. It’s hard to beat a pre war Caddy convertible.
