1941 Cadillac Series 62

Elite Classic Cars is proud to present this elegant 1941 Cadillac Series 62 five-passenger sedan. With its new upgraded “torpedo” style C-body, some designers have called the 1941 Cadillac one of the most cherished American Automobiles in history. With this new “torpedo” style body, Cadillac sales set a new sales record. It was a year of major styling change, and more than any other, firmly established Cadillac’s strong and extremely successful styling identity. Along with the new “torpedo” body, the frame was redesigned to be much more rigid for a smoother ride. This example has had a refreshing of the body and frame to keep that Cadillac prestige. Knowing how good Cadillac built the series 62, the owner wanted to bring this car up to date with a new rebuilt Chevrolet 350CI V8 and a TH700R4 overdrive transmission. Knowing the drivetrain was up to date, the frame was stripped of all the years of grime and grease and properly undercoated. The factory rear end was gone through and rebuilt, along with all new brake rotors and brake lines to make sure this 4,000-pound “torpedo” stops the way it should. It then got all new shocks to provide that “float like a Cadillac” feel down the road. The battery, charging system, and wiring were all upgraded to a modern 12-volt system. To help bring the Cadillac up to modern-day cruising, the old vacuum wiper system was thrown out, and electric wipers were installed. Keeping the temps at bay is a new radiator. Keeping the interior as stock as possible, it was cleaned, and new carpet was installed. Attention then turned to the body with a fresh coat of beautiful dark green. Sliding into this Cadillac will take you right back to 1941 with its elegance and class, but knowing you have a modern drivetrain to take this Cadillac across the country.
