It has rightly been said that in terms of aesthetics, Cadillac was to 1941 what Cord was to 1937, what Duesenberg was to 1929, and what LaSalle was to 1927. Overall, the entire 1941 Cadillac model lineup possessed a truly wonderful style and grace, coupled with the marque’s characteristically advanced engineering that was seldom seen in competing products.

Visually, the 1941 Cadillac was a masterpiece of subtle, flowing curves that began with a bold and distinctive grille design. The flat, chromed grille and domed hood were dominant, with two new styling concepts available, including the horizontal valance enclosing the space between the bodywork and the bumpers and the front fender wind-split creases beginning at the headlamps and extending horizontally back along each rear flank of the body. The sole available engine, Cadillac’s refined 346-cubic inch V-8, delivered remarkably silent and smooth operation, 150 horsepower, and plenty of torque. Ride and handling characteristics remain quite good, even by today’s standards, making Cadillacs of the immediate prewar era excellent choices for collectors and enthusiasts who enjoy driving.

The dashing 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe offered here was restored 10 years ago and remains in excellent condition as offered today. With close attention clearly paid to detail throughout the vehicle during the restoration, it is simply resplendent with its handsome burgundy exterior finish complemented by tan upholstery, a black power convertible top, gleaming brightwork, and period-style, wide whitewall tires. Desirable amenities include a radio and clock. Stated by the current owner to run and drive as it should and needing nothing to be shown off and toured, it is now ready for a new owner to enjoy and appreciate its timeless elegance and sophisticated engineering.
