Cadillac debuted the 60 Series as their entry-level model. In 1940, they introduced the 62 Series, a slightly larger and more comfortable car to slot between the 60 and the 70 Series both size and price-wise. It was based on GM’s C-body with V8 power and all the comfort and style you’d expect from a Cadillac. This beautiful 1941 62 Series Deluxe Coupe was restored by the seller’s father starting in 2014. It was the third Pre-War Cadillac he restored, and his son feels that it is some of his finest work. Unfortunately, the seller is losing their storage and needs to find a good home where this beauty can be enjoyed. If you’d love to be its next owner, cast your high bid here on Barn Finds!
Some of Cadillac’s most stunning design work came out in the late 1930s and early 1940s, but GM shifted production to the war effort in 1942, meaning Cadillac production was greatly limited. The Series 62 wouldn’t resume production until after the end of the war and was fully redesigned for its reintroduction. This example is technically a one-year-only design and is the kind of car that could grace the field at a Concours D’Elagance-type event. The seller notes that it isn’t quite to Concours level right now, but it presents nicely and turns heads everywhere it goes.
The interior isn’t as luxurious as modern luxury cars, but this was about as luxury as you could get in 1941. These are very comfortable cars to drive, even by today’s standards, which was the true mark of luxury at the time. As you can see, the restoration was done to a high level, and it shows on the inside. The seller states it was a complete frame off restoration and took their father nearly 4 years to complete. Two switches were added under the dash, one for a backup electric fuel pump and the other to cut power to the clock. Both features were added to improve reliability and can be undone if desired. The floor mats show a few minor stains but will likely clean up nicely.
Power is provided by Cadillac’s Monobloc L-Head 346 cui V8. This is the same engine that was used in the more affordable 60 and 61 Series cars. For 1941, power increased to 150 horsepower, which is enough to move this car along nicely. The engine runs beautifully and is the numbers matching original. The seller added electronic ignition to improve dependability, but it can easily be returned to the original points and condenser if desired.
This is a charming example of one of Cadillac’s last Pre-War designs. It isn’t perfect, but it’s close! Beyond a few paint chips and a bit of blemish on the hood chrome, the body and paint present nicely. The paint isn’t the original color but is a period-correct color, and the fender skirts have been replaced with lighter-weight fiberglass ones. It wouldn’t take much to make this car show-ready, though, or you could enjoy it as is! It’s ready to drive and would be a stately experience from a bygone era. The seller notes that they will be losing their storage on February 16, so arrangements will need to be made to move the car prior to the 15th. If you’d love to have this Cadillac parked in your garage, be sure to bid below!

… the interior isn’t as luxurious as modern…. ARE YOU KIDDING ??? Soft fabrics and sofa like seats compared to hard plastic and park bench hard seats ?? This thing is fantastic…
WHAT a fantastic jewel. Would like to see the actual asking price. Sold my buick (which paid ALL my bills)and ready for something like this….
Pure Gold!
Mine was a 1947 four door sedan and it idled so slowly that I could just about accurately tell the times the engine turned over by checking the label on the fan belt! Wonderful car that carried 6 adults and four kids once when I picked up the passengers of a 1927 Ford Model A that had broken down and a storm was blowing up. A little further on their was a 1957 Buick on the side of the road so I picked up the driver and his wife as well. The kids ended up draped all over the adults laps but I got them all home in the end.
Gorgeous Cadillac coupe. In retrospect we can see that we’ve gained nothing in 80 years. *sigh
Admirable assessment, Nelson
Not only haven’t we gained, we are lost. The current rides, if you took out the electronics and plastic and used those bucks to strengthen the suspension and frame would result in a much better value and would last a hell of a lot longer. We have to get the government out of the designing business.
Great looking car, and the ad presentation is outstanding! If “She Who Must Be Obeyed” weren’t all over me for having too many cars I’d love to have it. But…for the seller’s sake…I hope it’s too rich for my pocketbook! Good luck!
One of my favorite old cars. Factory chop top look.
This is an extraordinary Cadillac. 1941 was a beautiful design year for GM. The flat head v8 ran virtually silent. 3 speed column shift is smooth as silk. No need for power steering with the big steering wheel. I recently purchased a Lincoln Continental Mark III, can’t find room for this beauty, but I will be watching this closely! Is the car still 6 volt?
Hello Jeff, thank you for the compliments. Yes it is 6 volt. It is a negative ground. I think they were positive ground from the factory but dad went to negative. I may be mistaken on my history recollection. You are right on the steering if the car is in motion. If it is at very low speed there will be effort required. It’s so easy to understand why people say “it rides like a Cadillac “. It’s a wonderful ride!
Congratulations to the new owner of this beautiful Caddy. Hope that you have many years of enjoyment .
This looks like a beautiful, no expenses spared restoration. The body panels, and paint, interior, everything, absolutely beautiful. Cadillacs and also Lasalles were absolutely beautiful cars in the 30s, and 40s. ( Well, Lasalle up until 1940). A real beauty.
This is a gorgeous car. And, it’s my favorite color.
I agree. They couldn’t have picked a better color for this Caddy. Its just beautiful.
I agree – Its the perfect color for these Caddys
I dislike coupes, and I love all-original. All of that said; if I could, I would own and drive this beauty in a heartbeat! The colour is perfect! — even if not original. For the sake of the clock and the radio, I hope she’s still 6-volt. The Second World War brought an end to the Age Of Elegance, which this car still exudes. But the War had no impact on 1941 production, which was prolific for nearly all makes. Good times were returning, and 1941 was a banner year for new cars. 1939 was the first year when new cars began selling more briskly, and 1940 did well, also. 1942 was a short year with low numbers, because domestic civilian automobile production was stopped utterly. Certain cars (notably, the 1942 Ford) continued in limited production as military officers’ vehicles — but you couldn’t buy one after civilian production was halted. Hence, it would be the 1942 Cadillac that would be hard to find, not the 1941. The 1942 was quite similar to the 1941 — and the 1946 Cadillac was not greatly changed, except that the prewar elegance somehow seemed reduced, along with the prewar art-deco touches in trim. Post war re-introduction of warmed-over 1942s tended to be plainer than their prewar cousins. One beauty in a car such as this is, it would work at modern highway speeds; whereas, more modestly-priced prewar offerings usually lack the ability to cruise effortlessly at 70 m.p.h.. This Cadillac, in this condition, would be a complete dream to own! By the way, whereas 1941 dashboards tended to have slender horizontal layouts, this Cadillac displays what would become standard in 1942 cars and early post war cars — the radio in the centre, framed on the left by a round speedometer, and on the right by an equally large clock. This design was inspired by twin-engine aircraft — the speedometer and the clock analogous to the propellers.
Another point of interest about cars built during the war was there was no chrome plating present.
Wow! In order to bid on a car on this site you have to be a paying member?! That really cuts down on the potential buyer audience. So if I were to sell an old car, and I have some to sell, and was choosing a venue to this site would only be open to how many paying members it has. I’m relatively sure I’d have never bought this car anyway but was going to bid it up.
So, become a member, it really doesn’t cost an arm and a leg! Besides which they are giving you a site where you can auction your car, also very cheaply!
Gotta have buyers. Doesn’t cost an arm and a leg is true. Until you multiply it by dozens. Every site I belong to has a monthly pay option that offers more benefits. Most of them I’d like to. But I’m not exaggerating when I say dozens. I’d do whatever I could to attract buyers but that’s just me. Making a buyer pay a monthly charge to bid on a vehicle is not a good business model especially on a site that isn’t well known to begin with. I can see it for browsers like myself.
Making people have memberships eliminates the deadbeat bidding that’s so prevalent on other auction sites. We have more members than you probably think. Give us a shot and see how it goes. Thanks.
It looks beautiful. Having muscle cars for the past 40 years, I never took the time to appreciate the older cars, and hotrod’s. However, the past couple of years I’m loving them. This would definitely be something for my garage
I’ll take this beauty for times when I want to cruise down the boulevard in style, and a CT5 Blackwing for when I want to blast along a twisty two-lane. There’s no reason we can’t appreciate both.
My 1st apartment was smaller than that trunk LOL
Assuming the car sells can the buyer pay a charge to keep the car in storage to await pickup assuming it is leaving Colorado?
Hello 69Riv yes this can be arranged. The cost is $350 month and they will not pro-rate the rent. If someone wants to do this please contact me and we can work out something agreeable to everyone.
OK thanks. This makes it more attractive to bid knowing if the successful bidder can store the car while transportation is being arranged assuming an out-of-state sale the winner pays the $350 plus the 5% commission. .
I just talked with the storage facility owners and it looks like we can milk a bit more time in storage without much cost. To incur no costs it needs to be out on or before the 15th. The car can stay in the unit on a pro-rated basis from the 16th through the 20th. I am willing to pay for those pro-rated days myself if needed to help with logistics. From the 21st onward the full months rent comes due. I hope this gives anyone that needs more flexibility a bit more to work with and some peace of mind. Thanks, Chris
I’m not being evicted so I can continue my time there LOL! I’m choosing to not pay triple of what my cost was about 20 months ago. I know costs are up on everything but this is too much in my eyes. I agree the flexibility is helpful. Thank you for asking the question.
Thank you to everyone watching, commenting and bidding! I am available to answer any questions you may have about the car. Please feel free to ask. I am pretty responsive. I do watch the comments and will respond. Also, I have lifted the reserve so this car will be sold. I have enjoyed it for several years but cannot drive it as often as it deserves to be driven so it is going to a new home for others to feel the pride I have for this car. Best of luck!
I am going to say it again. This is one absolutely gorgeous Caddy. I hope it goes to a good home, preferably with a nice dry heated garage. Best wishes on the sale and whoever gets to be the new owner.
First time I heard of anyone putting an on/off switch for the clock.That shows real trust in your wiring job.I always just disconnect the battery.
Hello TC the switch was not done because of a lack of trust in the wiring. He did it because he drove it once or twice a week maybe less often if traveling. He did not want the hassle of removing and replacing a battery tender, or disconnecting a lead that often. This is a 6 volt system and the battery would always pull current on a system that is not as powerful as a modern 12 volt system. I hope this clarifies this for anyone curious to the switch being installed.
That’s the only electrical draw on that car. Most would use a battery disconnect but someone thought this would be less intrusive.
Either that or they were afraid the car could achieve light speed and wanted to disconnect the clock when dropping the hammer in high gear so as not to break it.
Is 216 in. the correct total length of the car? Some garages are smaller than others, that’s why I am asking, thanks!
Hello Todd, I’ll go measure it at lunch to confirm and post it here.
Hello again Todd, I measured from tip to tip on the bumpers and 216″ sure looks to be it. I did not have anything to plumb line it to be dead accurate. If space is this tight maybe 217″ – 218″ should be considered for a bit of a buffer.
I dearly wish that I had the place and the funds for this fine car! I particularly like the fact that no one has converted it to 12 volts! I drove a six volt 1946 Ford for many years, and I never thought or needed to disconnect the clock. It kept excellent time, ticked loudly enough to startle some first-time passengers, and ran just fine, whether or not the car was running or driving. It was wound about every 6 minutes by the kick of a solenoid, and it probably would have taken that clock a year and longer to draw-down the battery significantly. Folks who were used to a 12-volt system would hear my car turn-over relatively slowly and assume that my battery was dying but that was how it turned-over, and it would start right up — every time. I miss it dearly, to this day.
I agree on the slow crank but it does kick off every time. You can hear this in the video posted. The battery was replaced January of 2024 and tested perfect just before listing it here.
I think ALL 6-volters crank slowly — that’s part of the CHARM! You have no idea how badly I wish that I could buy this 1941 Cadillac!
My 6 volt 50 Packard doesn’t crank slowly…the first time! But if you don’t get it the first try, it gets slower and slower.
I’ve addressed this is issue before about old antique and outdated mechanical components. I own a few old cars. But 2 focus on my 40 Packard Senior Series Super 8. I converted the 6 volt positive system to 12 voltage negative using a kit from Vintage Auto. As much as it may make some cringe at the thought trying to find parts (Starter generator points carburetor etc) is a fricking nightmare. AND IF you do better bring your own grease or soap. The car has sat for 3 years and I have not had the enjoyment of driving it. I sent the starter off after finally networking and found a guy in his 80s who had a business years ago rebuilding them. 9 months later I get it back and the repair shop toasted it cranking and cranking and cranking it trying to get it started. I can’t begin to tell you how upset and angry I was/am.
So now I’m on the waiting list for a aftermarket replacement. Who knows how long this time. I’m not a spring chicken and don’t want to spend the rest of my days trying to please purist keeping things original. I have missed all of the cars shows and cruise nights and lastly if it doesn’t start when I’m out somewhere then I have a huge towing bill facing me.
Absolutely true re the “purist” angle. I am a purist as far as is sensibly possible but my ’51 Buick Super was a bit ch to start, Many times I ran the battery flat trying to start it so I installed an 8v battery that didn’t require any modifications to the electrical system other than to adjust the previously installed alternator to charge at 10.4 v. From then on the car started within about 4 turns of the engine. So sorry to hear that you haven’t been able to enjoy your Packard.

I’m happy to hear someone that can relate to what I’m saying. Now I’m on board with mechanical modifications for reliability and parts availability. I draw my line in the sand when it comes to cosmetic customizing.
The bucket seats and other interior “upgrades?” Body modifications lowered body flames graphics loud obnoxious colors glass packs or loud pipes on a luxury sedan won’t ever get my vote. It puts my mindset of seeing a 90 year old granny wearing a mini skirt. But to each his own.
I never appreciated these prewar Cadillacs as much as I do now, having seen this extraordinary coupe. But I can’t believe the low bids I’m seeing here. ‘Hope we see some miracles in the remaining hours. I would think a car like this would at least break $20 grand. Maybe I’m just getting really old and can’t understand why collectors no longer covet these beautiful cars. I’m harkened back to my uncle’s ’41 Buick. I guess if you can’t remember eating a 5¢ ice cream cone in the back seat of one, you just can’t appreciate ‘em. Oh well, I don’t get too excited over ’73 Malibus or ’70 Torinos either.
This lovely example of American snobbery is one of the reasons I am, and proud to be, a Cadillac purest. I’m in my 70’s and started driving in a Caddy, way back when, and will plant my rear in nothing else. Lincolns and Imperials are nice but Cadillac has the ultimate automobile stature rating of all! Good luck seller, your buyers will be the nicest people to deal with. They’re Cadillac people.
Thank you Al. This car’s style, comfort and ride sure set a precedent hard to match!
Chris, I want to commend your father for doing an outstanding job on this work of art. While most of us don’t know anything about the buyer we hope it’s their intention to continue preservation of this car. Timing was not in my favor. I just invested heavily in a newer car. If that hadn’t happened your car would be in my collection gavel down. I’m sure the enthusiasts will be tracking this car and will update us on it’s whereabouts.
Thank you Frog. I’m at peace with selling this car and believe the buyer will be a great custodian of it. As I have said before it deserves to be driven, seen and enjoyed by everyone. Given my limited garage space I cannot do this as often as I should. I will provide digital pictures of the restoration process to the new owner as well so they can see the care that went into the restoration.
That was an exciting one! Congrats to Chris and to the buyer!
I hope 48 Supeer Deluxe appreciates what a fantastic bargain he got! This is not really a fair comparison, but try going out on the used car market and see what you can get for $15,200. Nothing like the pleasure, comfort, utility, and reliability that still lies under this beautiful 84 year-old skin. An old mechanic once told me: “Cars don’t wear out. People just quit spending money on ‘em.”
“Restoration” is really just deferred maintenance. Maintaining a car such that it always presents and operates as new is something most people fail to do; a few try, and fewer yet succeed. We in the hobby tend to make up the difference in what we call “restoration”. This car, no doubt, is some combination: some superb maintenance over the years plus some restorative efforts. One can do that with any car – if the car is worth it -either in terms of net monetary gain or intrinsic pleasures allowed. My ’73 MGB/GT stands as an example. I’ve owned it 39 years and but for the snow/salt season, I USE it. That’s different than just driving it. I maintain it so that it performs as expected when new. That brings up the issue of originality. If I’m happy with those 1973 performance standards, I simply use the car as is. But generally, we are not entirely happy to systematically tolerate 1973 standards. Or 1941 standards, for that matter. So then, the issue is what modern comforts/conveniences do we have to have, and how much originality are we willing to sacrifice? And for many of us, spouse’s concerns will also need to be factored in. One of these is air conditioning. By and large, A/C is doable, and reversible, in just about any vintage car. And it can be done discretely. Yes it will still be noticeable, but how much is up to you.
Some car guys like to build masterpieces of originality and do everything to protect them from the rigors of doing what they were intended to do. And you can see where I come down on this. I take nothing away from the preservationists, but I get more sheer joy out of driving/using these cars as they were intended to be used. My way is not the best way to preserve them. But paradoxically, it is the best reason to preserve them.
I’ve spoken with the buyer and know this car is going to a great home! It will be driven and enjoyed. That is what I wanted from this sale and am happy for him, the car and the appreciation for dad’s hard work that went into it. I have 1977 Datsun 280z that I found on a Barn Finds email about 2.5 years ago. It’s exceptionally original but very dirty and tired. I recently got it running and when I went to register and tag it they asked which collector plates I wanted. I said I want my US Navy tags because this car will be driven. They were shocked. These cars need to be on the road.
Hello, bachelor’s! My younger brother had a 1973 MGB for about 45 years, before his terrible arthritis made climbing down into it too painful; then he sold it. It had nearly 500,000 miles, and he said, ,”It’s just broken-in”. He never modified anything — he just drove it. AND MAINTAINED IT TO THE HILT.
Thanks Harrison! Gee, I only have 254,000 miles on mine. Part of that problem is I’ve been retired for the past 19 years and don’t really have a “daily driver” because I no longer drive daily. Typically, there are 3-4 days in a week when I have no place to go. There was one summer – in 2007 – when I drove it 11,000 miles in three months. First, from Port Huron Michigan to Rohnert Park California, then to Whistler BC and return home. Did a load of laundry and then off to Waynesboro Virginia, then up to Amherst Massachusetts and back home again. I don’t recall any problems. Shown is that beloved B/GT on California’s famous Highway 1 near Mendocino.
No I’m not trying to turn this into an MG thread. I’m simply advocating for the great pleasures of driving our vintage cars.
Hello, bachelor’s! My brother’s was a deep maroonish red. This beautiful Cadillac has sold — so, I imagine that nobody cares what “thread” we might create, here. (smile)
Was it like this one. “Damask Red”. My first restoration and I had it for 19 years. ‘Had a lot of fun with this car. ‘Loved the color. Later they renamed it “Carmine Red”, and the same color on my ’57 MG Magnette was called “Autumn Red”. Go figure…
‘Sold it to a guy in SOCAL, then lost track of it. I’m amused by your stories of 6-volt starters. I grew up in Minneapolis, and at 30º below zero, my ’60 Volvo sitting outside would go “ruh…” And about 3 seconds later: “ruh…” After about 30 seconds of this it would go “ruh-ruh…” then of course: “ruh-ruh-ruh”. After you wer sure the battery could take no more: “ruh-ruh-RURURURU-F-F-F-FFT…ruh………..” “ruh…” I swear it would carry on like this for 2-3 minutes before it would always start.
So what are you collecting these days? Sounds like I’ve had a lot of foreign cars, but I’ve paid my dues to Detroit many many times over the years. My daily drivers have almost always been ten+ years old when I bought ‘em. Even from the “bad old days” the American ones have all been good. I’ve been partial to Mopars – grew up with them. Favorite was a ’79 LeBaron station wagon I bought in about ’88. But lots of good Chevys in the mix.
Started with the “collectibles” in ’77 with the purchase of a ’53 Plymouth Belvidere two-door hardtop with continental kit and five Kelsey-Hayes real wire wheels for $500. Best Plymouth could do but not a banner year for Mopar collectibles! ‘Sold it mostly for the value of the wheels – $900. At that, I made a profit! Then there was a ’60 Imperial Southampton four-door hardtop. Pulled it out of a barn in West Virginia and drove it home in about ’79. Not long after, went through a divorce and for awhile that was my DD. Times were tough but I managed to trade it for a slightly rusty ’73 Volvo 264 which I loved and drove forever.
During my motorcycle years (read: 2nd childhood) I was looking to trade my Honda CX550 for a Gold Wing, but then a ’78 rubber-bumper (yeh, I know…) winked at me from a used car lot in Christiansburg Virginia, and the rest is history. It was 1984 and I’ve never been without an MG ever since. At one time in the ‘90s I had 13. Now down to just four: the ’73 B/GT, a ’69 C/GT, a ’65 pull-handle roadster, and a ’57 ZB Magnette four-door saloon (sedan). I’m 85 and still very active – doing all my own wrenching. These cars keep me going! But my first car at age 16 was a ’37 Plymouth. Good car for $70. I want another one. Cheers!
Hi, bachldrs! Hope my ‘phone doesn’t decide that IT knows how your name should be spelt THIS time! It IRRITATES me, when my texts or postings get altered that way! I’m not illiterate — I know what I mean to type! I think your Carmine Red is the right colour — yes. My brother’s had a black top and black leather seats, as I recall. Your Minnesota weather is similar to our Adirondack weather, and with my 1946 Ford flathead V-8, I well remember that “ruh…………………..ruh…………..ruh…..ruh……………ruh……..ruh-ruh-ruh- vroooom!” But, in ANY weather, those six volts GOT us there!(smile) PATIENCE… THAT’S the ticket! I can’t afford to collect vehicles, at this point, unfortunately. I drive a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis with 388,000+ miles that is a bit “tired” now. But it has been a very good car, so far. And I have so many records, that some might refer to me as a “hoarder” — mostly 78s, because that was what we had when I was young. 45s didn’t come out until 1949, but I stayed with 78s until they began discontinuing them in 1958 and 1959. You still could get new 78s for a while longer in Canada, though. Other than that, I’m… HERE. How about YOU?
Harrison,
I think the issue you’re having is with spellcheck. I’ve jokingly said that’s where all of the retired and deceased English teachers go. A few years ago and elder friend passed away and left his estate to his daughter. She was trying to sell his fishing boat so I had asked around if anyone was interested. A guy asked me how much so I texted her to find out. Well spellcheck decided to intervene. I asked her if she sold her boat and spell check put body and I didn’t proof read it and she replied 3 question marks. Talk about embarrassing and frustrating.
Hi, bachldrs! Hope my ‘phone doesn’t decide that IT knows how your name should be spelt THIS time! It IRRITATES me, when my texts or postings get altered that way! I’m not illiterate — I know what I mean to type! I think your Carmine Red is the right colour — yes. My brother’s had a black top and black leather seats, as I recall. Your Minnesota weather is similar to our Adirondack weather, and with my 1946 Ford flathead V-8, I well remember that “ruh…………………..ruh…………..ruh…..ruh……………ruh……..ruh-ruh-ruh- vroooom!” But, in ANY weather, those six volts GOT us there!(smile) PATIENCE… THAT’S the ticket! I can’t afford to collect vehicles, at this point, unfortunately. I drive a 1988 Mercury Grand Marquis with 388,000+ miles that is a bit “tired” now. But it has been a very good car, so far. And I have so many records, that some might refer to me as a “hoarder” — mostly 78s, because that was what we had when I was young. 45s didn’t come out until 1949, but I stayed with 78s until they began discontinuing them in 1958 and 1959. You still could get new 78s for a while longer in Canada, though. Other than that, I’m… HERE. How about YOU?
Hi, Frog! Thanks for understanding! I go back to the times of portable tube radios, 78 rpm records, manual typewriters, and Indian-Head pennies commonly seen in pocket change. These new-fangled things confused me, rather. (smile)
