1941 Cadillac Series 62

This 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Deluxe Convertible Sedan is a roomy, luxurious, and well-optioned automobile, and it is deemed a full classic by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA). Cadillacs Series 62 debuted in 1940 and featured a torpedo-like body that was considered more aerodynamic than its predecessors. In 1941, Cadillac redesigned its front end stylings across all models calling the new look an impressively powerful front ensemble. The hoods came down lower and featured louvered trim on the sides. The grilles in 1941 were wider, taller, and bulged in the middle furthering the new look of the 41 Cadillacs. Cadillac also consolidated its engine offerings in 1941 down to a single engine, the 346 L-Head V8 which was highly successful up until that point. 1941 was also the final year for the 4-door Convertible Sedan for Cadillac, the true end of an era! Under the hood on this 41 Series 62 is a 346 Cubic Inch L-Head V8 engine paired with a single 2 barrel carburetor that pushed out 150 horsepower in its day and has a nice quiet purr while idling.
