Vehicle Description
This 1937 Cadillac Series 60 Convertible Coupe is impeccably built
and tastefully customized restomod that recently underwent an
extensive professional frame-off restoration. When the 1937
Cadillac line was introduced to the public in November of 1936, the
United States appeared to perhaps be emerging from the vast
economic downturn caused by the Great Depression. See, the effects
of the Great Depression on American luxury automakers, like
Cadillac, were significant. In fact, by November 1936 many of the
luxury auto manufacturers, such as Peerless, Marmon, Stutz, and
Pierce-Arrow had already gone out of business, and others, such as,
Auburn-Cord-Duesenberg, were on the imminent brink of failure. To
survive, the remaining luxury automobile manufacturers such as
Packard and LaSalle, and later Cadillac, introduced entry-level
vehicles that offered similar ritzy styling but were more
affordable and accessible to general buying public. For Cadillac,
that introductory vehicle was the Series 60 which was smaller,
shorter, lighter, and less powerful, but it was also more
affordable and offered the level of quality and craftsmanship that
was synonymous with Cadillac. By the time 1937 rolled around, the
economy began to rebound and Cadillac's entry level offerings
enabled the company to survive the downturn. The 1937 Series 60
retained a similar body style from the previous year but was
outfitted with a new "eggcrate" grille and louvers were added to
the sides of the hood. This particular Series 60 Convertible comes
to us after it an extensive professional frame-off restoration.
During this extremely recent restoration, the car was tastefully
restomodded with fantastic upgrades and customizations that make
this car an absolute joy to drive. Under the hood on this '37
Cadillac is a 6.2 Liter LS3 V8 GM Performance crate engine with
electronic fuel injection that is specced out to produce 430
horsepower. The 6.2L LS3 is mated to a 4L60 Automatic Transmission
ensuring that anybody can take this custom Cadillac for a spin
around the block. Being that this Cadillac Convertible has received
the restomod treatment, it is absolutely loaded with options and
upgrades! The front and rear suspension has been completely
overhauled with with coilovers in all 4 corners and a Scott's Hot
Rod 'N Customs setup consisting of Independent Front Suspension and
a 4 link rear. The stock rear axle was also replaced with 9 inch
Ford rear end with 3.23:1 gears. With Wilwood power disc brakes in
all four corners, this 1937 Custom Cadillac has plenty of stopping
power especially with all that extra horsepower under the hood. The
addition of power steering is also a welcome upgrade since it
improves the overall driving experience and makes maneuvering this
classic Cadillac much easier. A custom dual FlowMaster exhaust
setup gives this Cadillac restomod a nice throaty sound. Riding on
a set of Wheelsmith wire wheels (17" front and 18" rears) paired
with a set of radial tires, this Series 60 Convertible has an
elegant look and even better ride. The exterior has been
beautifully refinished in a dark blue basecoat/clearcoat that gives
this Cadillac Convertible a truly classic exterior appearance. The
chrome and brightwork around the exterior of this Cadillac Series
60 is in superb, show-worthy condition. The black Stayfast Haartz
Cloth convertible top is in excellent condition. The interior on
this Cadillac is one of the nicest we've ever seen! The front and
rear bench seats, along with the door panels, have been
reupholstered in gorgeous Camel brown leather and has an
exceptionally elegant look and feel. The matching wool carpeting is
in wonderful condition as well and adds to the high-class interior.
The dash and steering wheel retain a tasteful, almost-stock
appearance. The dash is equipped with a 110 MPH speedometer and
clock, as well as gauges for oil pressure, volts, temperature, and
fuel. You'll stay cool even on the hottest summer days since this
