This handsome 1937 Cadillac Series 60 wears an uncommon and elegant
convertible coupe body by Fisher. 1937 models were refreshed by
Harley Earl to wear a distinct die cast egg crate grille and
complementary bright hood side vents with V8 logos. It is a fine
looking automobile, and the presentation very good in Richelieu
Maroon with a tan top, and bright red wheels adorned with wide
whitewall tires. A good quality restoration is reflected in
excellent panel fit, attractive and glossy paintwork, and proper
detailing. The Series 60 debuted in 1936, and while it was a value
leader, it was still a true Cadillac. Harley Earl penned a new body
with a distinct tall and narrow grille, v-shaped windscreen and
round, flowing fenders. Motivation came courtesy of Cadillac's new
and less expensive "monoblock" V8 engine displacing 322 cubic
inches and producing 125 horsepower - which increased to 135 with
when the engine was upgraded to 346 cubes the following year. The
chassis featured GM's Knee-Action independent front suspension as
well as dual servo brakes. Built from 1936-1938, the original
Series 60 was a fine driving motorcar, available in a variety of
body styles and configurations. While it was designed as lower
priced model for the prestigious marque, there was no doubt it was
still very much a proper Cadillac, and with approximately 7,000
built (vs 31,000 Series 50 LaSalles) it remains relatively rare
today. Beautiful car top to bottom. Fully restored and well cared
for. Flathead Cadillac V8, 3 speed manual. www.kuyothbody.com Email
