1940 Cadillac Coupe 2-Door (62 series)

1940 Cadillac coupe Description

(Rare) 1940 Cadillac series 6227C coupe (Only 1320 produced)

It looks like it’s time to sell my coupe to make room for some other projects. This car is a great start to finish all original or modernize and paint whatever color you want. This car would make a great Hot Rod by installing a modern induction system, modern auto trans, disc brakes and convert to 12 volts negative ground.

Description of car:
