For Sale: 1941 Cadillac Series 62 in O'Fallon, Illinois

Gateway Classic Cars of Scottsdale is pleased to present this very nice 1941 Cadillac 62 Series Deluxe Coupe, This Caddy is in excellent overall condition and has some rare options and features. This is the only Coupe I have seen with a full red leather interior-which appears original, along with the original black paint complimented with nice chrome that helps highlight the exterior. Under the hood this 1941 Cadillac is equipped with a 346 CID V8 Monobloc with a 3-spd selective synchromesh manual transmission with the shifter mounted on the column. The car has performed well over the years and has been regularly maintained, as it runs and drives exceptional, the car doesn't need much to be enjoyed immediately. Styling was heavily emphasized for '41, and when new these opulent Cadillacs emerged looking quite distinctive. The prow-nose motif of the Thirties was gone and replaced by a blunter and more imposing frontal design that was highlighted by a dramatic horizontal egg crate grille - a theme that has been continued to this day. The coffin-nose-style hood (evidence of the industry-wide effect of Cord styling)and the headlights integrated into the broader fenders separated it from all Cadillacs that had gone before. Meanwhile a three-piece front bumper guard (one horizontal) provided a cove to protect the license plate while sporting the optional rare fog lights on either side. At the rear the fenders show squarer, the left taillight hides the gas-filler cap, and twin vertical bars divide the rear window into three segments. Three horizontal chrome ''speed stripes'' on the front and rear fenders of this model help promote the theory of movement while standing still. Roughly 1700 of these cars were produced and few survived making this car a certain standout at any gathering of important cars.
