The 1939 Cadillac Series 60 Special was part of an upper-class
distinction at Cadillac. So it already doesn't need much to look
awesome, and that's why this one remains looking classic on the
outside. But as you dig a little deeper you'll discover plenty of
upgrades, like a supple leather A/C interior. And you'll love the
look of shock when you leave some serious sports car in your wake
thanks to the fuel-injected big block V8 under the hood.
General Motors had some of the best-looking bodies around in the
late 1930s, and Cadillac was the cream of the crop. Its handsome
wide flowing fenders and cool bullet-shaped headlights give it a
flowing presence. And the grille design could be used as a
definition of art deco. The high-gloss maroon paint does a great
job of showcasing these details. And while this was built to be a
driver, the sunshine lets the paint radiate and show off the very
straight sheetmetal. Of course the best shine comes from the full
brightwork package. And on a car like the 60 Special, it also
highlights the best details. The rocker trim shows off the deleted
running boards; the big chrome bumpers have an etched Cadillac
script; and the upgraded 15-inch wire wheels mean proper elegance
while allowing you to fit modern tires.
The attitude of vintage style mixed with the right upgrades
continues inside. For example, the leather seats have the right
appearance for a classic, and they have the supple feel of a proper
update. And the door panels, carpeting, headliner, and finished
trunk are all done in a harmonizing tan. These were built with back
seat opulence in mind, and so your passengers will appreciate the
limo-like legroom. There are well-integrated upgrades, like the air
conditioning control that are tucked away in the glovebox. And the
upgraded stereo speakers are ready for you to add a modern
Bluetooth radio for the best in driving music. The Lecarra sports
steering wheel and tilt column are even a subtle way of giving you
a better driving experience. However when you twist the key,
everything from the digital gauges to the extra hint of rumble of
the motor give away the real upgraded heart of this Caddy.
You'll love lifting the hood at cars shows. After all, it looks
like they couldn't stuff any more power in the engine bay. The 502
cubic-inch V8 is one of the biggest big blocks ever made, and it's
even topped with RamJet fuel-injection! And you'll love how this
one was properly installed with everything from those beautiful
custom aluminum Cadillac valve covers, to the useful aluminum
radiator with electric fan. The TH400 three-speed automatic
transmission is a stout unit that can handle the big power, and
this sends it to a Ford 9-inch rear. You also have rack & pinion
power steering, cruise control, and four-wheel power disc brakes to
be a fine all-around driver.
This Caddy is a custom build that offers true distinction, sweet
big block power, and all the right comforts. Something of this
quality and uniqueness won't stay long in our showroom. Call
