This is a beautiful 1938 Cadillac Series 75 V8 Convertible Sedan
with Division that has an incredible provenance and has been
restored only as-needed. The restoration services were performed
only as needed and the result is a beautiful example that can be
shown at most all concours events or enjoyed for touring. During
his past ownership, this Cadillac has undergone a refreshening to
exacting standards, including a bare metal respray of the original
Black paint and a correct replacement of the tan canvas convertible
top. The exterior of this Cadillac was refinished in its original
Black livery and still appears showroom new. The chrome and
brightwork are in excellent condition with only a few minor
imperfections. The tan Haartz cloth convertible top was replaced
along with the inner lining and a replating of the convertible top
frame. It is still in concours condition today. The lack of dual
side mounts give a longer appearance and looks great, giving the
Cadillac a more commanding presence. The chrome wheel covers are in
fine shape and are wrapped with Firestone wide white wall bias ply
tires. With the convertible top down, the Cadillac looks more like
a sporty phaeton than a convertible sedan. The beautiful Grey
leather interior is largely original including the carpeting. The
door panels look terrific, save for some wear marks near the
footwell and from the utilization of the window cranks. The front
seats are comfortable and show little signs of wear given the age
of the Cadillac. The rear seat shows well when considering the age
and still has a soft and supple cushion. The original interior are
examples that this Cadillac has been incredibly well loved and
cared for since new. The wood trim looks very nice and really
reveals the quality and beauty that Cadillac is known for. The dash
and instrumentation are clear and clean. The division operates with
a near effortless twist of the handle. Adorning the area around the
division window handle are a cigar lighter and a rare Fleetwood
clock. The interior accent lighting is functional and bright.
Mechanically, this Cadillac is ready for the show field and for
long distance touring. The 346 cubic inch V8 offered 135 horsepower
when new and provides ample power. The floor mounted three speed
manual transmission moves through the gears well and offers a
confidence inspiring driving experience. The engine compartment is
finely detailed, and the undercarriage is clean and original. For
