1941 Cadillac series 62 Description

For the 1941 model year, Cadillac offered V-8 powered cars in a variety of series or models, which were based on whether or not the vehicles had Fleetwood or Fisher bodies as well as wheelbase sizes. The models included the Fleetwood Series 401-60s, Fisher Series 41-61, 41-62, 41-63 and 41-67, Fleetwood Series 41-75 and 41-75 business or commercial cars. Nearly 63,000 V-8 powered Cadillacs were built and sold during the 1941 model year.

This example is a Fisher Series 41-62 powered by the V-8 engine, which was mounted on the 126” wheelbase chassis. It has the Fisher-built #41-6267D convertible coupe body. The base-selling price for this model and body style was approximately 1,650.00. It is not know how many of this body style were made, but typically convertible production was far less than the more often purchased four door sedans. The VIN number of 8341683 indicates it was built during the first part of the 1941 model year.

This example is a well-presented and recent restoration of what appears to have been a very solid and intact vehicle prior to restoration.

Upon close inspection, the body of this vehicle appears to be very solid showing no signs of prior damage or repair. The margins and gaps are even throughout on the doors, hood, fenders and trunk. The body shows no signs of rust or under-paint damage. The car is finished in a period correct brown finish. The paintwork remains in very good to excellent overall condition showing only the most minor but normal and expected signs of wear. The exterior chrome trim items such as the grille, front and rear bumpers, etc are in excellent condition.

The interior is finished in period correct and proper brown leather, which has been restored and today remains in very good condition. The matching carpets and door panels are also in very good to excellent condition. All of the glass appears to be in good condition. The front dashboard has been properly restored with a period correct, wood grained finish and is in excellent condition and remains complete with a full set of original gauges and controls. The bakelite steering wheel is in excellent condition. The convertible top assembly has been recently recovered in a proper black Hartz canvas convertible material and is in excellent condition as well.

The engine bay shows typical signs of usage and, while not highly detailed, has a good, overall cosmetic appearance to it. The chassis is in similar condition and shows the normal dirt and wear that is to be expected but is not rusty or excessively corroded nor does it show any signs of damage or neglect. The whitewall tires appear to be recent replacements and the original wheels/hubcaps have remained in very good condition.

This vehicle is well equipped with many of the factory original accessories including an automatic transmission, bumper guards, dual rear view mirrors. The original fender skirts are with the car but are currently not attached. Like all Series 62 Cadillacs, this example is considered to be a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America.

Overall, this is an excellent example of a very desirable, late pre-war, Cadillac convertible.
