automatic transmission backs the power plant, along with
a Drive Junky accessory belt drive system and a custom
aluminum radiator.
To bring this prewar classic into the 21st century, the
original chassis was swapped in favor of an Art Morrison
chassis complete with power rack & pinion steering.
Strange adjustable coilovers, a 9-inch Strange rear end
with 31-spline axles, a sport IFS front suspension and
triangulated 4-bar rear suspension give the Series 62
modern handling performance, which makes it more
comfortable to drive by today’s standards. Stopping power
is courtesy of a set of Wilwood Pro Spindle 13-inch rotors,
along with an SL6 brake kit in the front and an SL4 brake
kit in the rear.
Matching the level of comfort is a level of glamour
accomplished with the car’s Bentley Hallmark exterior
paint, complemented by a black Stayfast power top. The
interior features Classic Instruments gauges and luxurious
creature comforts like a Vintage Air system, heated front
seats, power windows, cruise control and an Ididit tilt
steering column with a custom Nardi steering wheel.
According to the consignor, the radio was customized by
R&B Vintage Auto Radio and includes Bluetooth with voice
command capabilities, a hidden auxiliary input and a
USB drive.
This 1941 Cadillac Series 62 exemplifies modern comfort
and classic glamour with every detail. Register to bid today
for your chance to take it home from the 2023 Scottsdale
Auction, January 21-29 at WestWorld.
