1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special on 2040-cars
Pendleton, Oregon, United States
|
I'm selling my beautiful classic 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special. I acquired this prewar survivor about 5 years ago out of a barn where it was stored most of its life. I consider this car in driver condition. It was repainted in the 60's and does have chips, thin spots in the paint and dings expected with a car of this age. The car has not been restored although I did have the original 348 flathead engine totally machined and sleeved back to the original bore and specs including hardened valves and seats to operate on todays gasoline's. The 348 ci engine (also used in tanks during the war) is backed by the first year Cadillac offered as an option, automatic transmission which is quite rare. 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special, this is the Bill Mitchell designed car. Complete rebuild on the 346 ci engine, resleeved to original bore, all new internal parts. New white wall radial tires with under 100 miles look good with the original restored hubcaps. Engine, frame and body numbers all match. Factory equipped optional automatic trans., heater works nice, most everything works except the radio although it does power on. I just didn't have time to repair it. Drives down the road nice, starts and runs nice. It looks to have been repainted and new interior installed in the 1960s. The body tag shows the paint to be a two tone grey from the factory. I acquired it right out of storage where it was stored in 1971, I have pictures as it was removed. This is one of the last of the prewar cars in good solid survivor shape. The chrome is not show quality as it has pitting, but everything there to work with if you should decide to restore it. I enjoy driving it in this "driver" condition. I'm amazed by the public's looks and thumbs up's on every drive. Also be prepared to make time for those who want pictures with it also. You'll see. Serious bidders can ask for specific pictures of interest if you provide me an email to send them to. Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Good luck Dennis |

Cadillac may not build Elmiraj coupe
Wed, 20 Nov 2013Despite the fact that most everyone who has laid eyes on the Cadillac Elmiraj concept coupe loves it, General Motors insiders are still trying to prove the business case to build the car. And it's certainly not a guarantee.
"I want to see this car go into production badly. Very badly," Ed Welburn, GM's Global Head of Design, told Autoblog. But the Cadillac design studio is busier than it's ever been before, and the company is working on prioritizing which cars deserve to get the billion-dollar price tag needed to research and develop a new model.
No matter what happens, Welburn says the car has made its mark on Cadillac
2014 Cadillac ELR whirs into Jay Leno's Garage
Tue, 18 Jun 2013While Jerry Seinfeld was gallivanting around LA with Sarah Silverman in a Jaguar XKE, our favorite car-loving comedian, Jay Leno, was checking out the all-new 2014 Cadillac ELR. Set to go on sale later this year, Cadillac brought its ELR to Jay Leno's Garage to show off some of its styling and technology as well as give Leno some seat time in the range-extended EV. Leno owns both a Volt and a CTS-V, and the ELR is a kind combination of the two (sort of).
In this episode, Leno spends some time talking to Frank Saucedo, GM director of advanced design, and ELR chief engineer Chris Thomason before logging a few miles on the sleek coupe. Interestingly, it seems that GM has definitely changed its tune a little since the introduction of the Volt a couple years ago; Saucedo and Leno both refer to the ELR as a hybrid, and Thomason says that it gets the "bulk of its propulsion" from the electric motors. Whatever you want to call it, scroll down to watch the latest episode of JLG with some great information and driving shots of the plug-in Cadillac.
2014 Cadillac CTS images leak from somewhere
Sun, 24 Mar 2013The redesigned 2014 Cadillac CTS will be unveiled this Tuesday on the eve of the New York Auto Show, but as often happens, some images of the car have leaked onto the web a few days early. Previously, the only information we had on the 2014 CTS concerned the all-new twin-turbo V6 engine that will be found underhood, rated at 420 horsepower and 430 pound-feet of torque.
While none show the new car in its entirety, the images do show much of the front end, particularly the headlights that feature vertical bars of LEDs that start down low as foglights and continue up to the top of the front fenders. They're similar to the lighting design first shown on the XTS and ATS, except the lower portions are much taller.
There are also views of the rear end and one of the taillights, as well as an interior shot of the front passenger door. The latter image has us most intrigued, as it shows some very high end materials being used in the new CTS interior. The low-gloss wood trim, in particular, looks very premium.
