On October 1, 1940, Cadillac introduced the six separate series that comprised the 1941 selection. Series 61, 62, 75 and Sixty Special reappeared in addition to two brand new series, the 63 and 67. With a total of 19 different body styles, this was the most ambitious diversification of models priced below $2,000 that any luxury auto maker had ever presented. All of these models have long since become collector’s items and are as desirable as ever. This particular car is recognized as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America; certainly a statement in itself.
The Series 62 Convertible Coupe continues to be proclaimed a “flawless work of automotive styling” and is a delight to behold from any given angle. Model year 1941 would be the final year that the Cadillac Convertible Coupe would be seen with a solid rear quarter and marked the final year of availability for the Convertible Sedan.
With a reported 3,100 similar cars produced, this particular car is stunning to the eye and is presented in “rare “Dark Blue” with tan leather interior and black power Haartz convertible top and is driven by a 346-cid V-8 engine which was, at that time, the most powerful V-8 Cadillac engine ever produced. This 150 horsepower unit is paired with a three-speed manual transmission. Other desirable qualities include fender skirts, distinctive bright trim elements, factory steel wheels with whitewall tires, foglights, radio and cabin heater. Fresh out of a private collection, this Cadillac is ready to be enjoyed and to demonstrate how special these cars were and continue to be.
