This is a wonderful 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Sedan that
has been set up to be one of the ultimate Pre-War touring cars.
This older restoration still looks stunning and could be shown at
local and regional events, but is truly a touring car. Her past
owner of over 35 years restored the car completely and then added
power steering, a Gear Vendor overdrive unit, four seat belts, a
fuel pump for priming and wide white wall radials. This has made
for an extremely comfortable and enjoyable driving experience. This
Cadillac (Body No. 308) was ordered new for delivery to Randall
Cadillac Corp in Brooklyn, NY on May 2, 1941. We love the running
board and side mount delete specification, which accentuates its
curvy and sexy shape.By October 29th of 1974 she was owned by Keith
Berg of Minnetonka, MN and then in 1975 it became part of the famed
Andrew darling collection in Minneapolis, MN. On January 6, 1987
she was bought by its last owner, Mr. John B Kinkead of St, Paul,
MN. Mr. Kinkead commenced a full restoration which included body,
paint, chrome, new glass and a wiring harness. In the late 1990's
he continued to improve her and then in 2002 he had the engine and
transmission rebuilt. The result is the quietest flat head V8 that
we've ever heard running. It is smooth, powerful and a pleasure to
drive with its overdrive and power steering. The livery is elegant
in its Valcour Maroon (paint Code 59) and a black canvas
convertible top. The paint is overall in good condition with very
nice shine and luster. There are several smaller areas with defects
and several small touched up paint chips, but these are really only
noticeable upon close inspection. The black canvas convertible top
is newer and in excellent condition. Most of the chrome is in nice
condition and shows very well. All the glass has been replaced and
in excellent condition. The fender skirts give it a terrific,
streamlined look and the wheel covers and emblems are all in great
condition. The wide white walled radials complete the look while
making it sportier and safer for touring. Dual side view mirrors
have been added as well. The maroon leather interior is in
excellent condition. The leather is soft and supple and without any
noticeable blemishes. The seats are very comfortable, and the
seating position is nice. The maroon carpeting is of lesser quality
than what we normally see but is very serviceable and looks fine.
The dash looks very nice, and the gauges work except for the
aftermarket temperature gauge being installed. The radio powers up
but doesn't play the clock is not working. The white steering wheel
feels great in your hands. The engine compartment looks great and
shows great attention to detail for touring preparation. There is
an oil filter system, robust cooling fan and heat shields
strategically placed to help prevent vapor lock or other issues.
The power steering is not too noticeable under the hood but is a
fantastic addition for touring. The 346 CID L-Head V8 engine
provides 150 horsepower. Having few miles since its complete
rebuild, it is powerful, smooth and whisper quiet. The added Gear
Vendor overdrive unit adds a 22ncrease in gearing of its original
3.77 ratio rear end. The chassis has not been detailed, but it
shows that this Cadillac is solid and has not ever had rust issues.
