1941 Cadillac Other Description
This one-owner 1941 Cadillac Series 62 has been sitting in its owner's Birmingham warehouse, untouched, for 40 years. Taken off the road in 1976, the Cadillac has 64,000 miles and was placed in excellent dry storage.
The prominent family that owned this Cadillac wants it to go to a good home that will appreciate its prewar splendor. As you'll see from my other auctions, they owned many Cadillacs over the years, placing the former models in storage when they bought a replacement. Other than this Series 62, there's a 1966 Fleetwood Brougham and 1962
60Special for sale. These are unmolested originals, ready restoration or to refurb to a daily-driver state.You can see inthe pictures that it is covered in a deep layer of dust and will remain that way until the new owner decides what to do with it.
Overall, the car is very dry. Doors open and close with accuracy. The engine is complete and dry. It appears that it will come to life with relative ease, but rather than take it to ashop to get started, I am saving you the cost in the event you're a home mechanic and want to get her running yourself. Obviously, all the major systems will need to be examined and inspected before road use: tires, brakes, hoses, belts, fuel tank, etc.
Last note: I do not have a BUY-IT-NOW but am open to offersand will consider ending theauction early. The car is located in Birmingham, Alabama in a large warehouse fully accessible to tow trucks, trailers, and so forth. Note: Alabama does NOT title cars manufactured prior to 1976, so in accordance with state law,this Cadillac will only come with a signed, notarized bill of sale for transfer of ownership.
I have owned 50 old Cadillacs and am a member of the Cadillac & LaSalle Club and the Classic Car Club of America. I've bought crummy cars before off eBay that were poorly represented, so my effort here is to give you what I'd hope a seller would tell me: this is a good, dry, one-owner, low-mileage, well-optioned, original car. It even comeswith the original key holder from the dealer and delivery inspection sheet.
