Beschreibung
The sublimely detailed Cadillacs of 1941 represent a watershed moment for the hallowed marque. Designed by GM styling bosses Harley Earl and Bill Mitchell, the 1941s brought the unmistakable eggcrate grille, a design which still echoes on the Cadillacs of today, over eight decades hence. According to its previous owner, respected automotive enthusiast Joe Morgan, the Series 62 Convertible Coupe presented here had been on display for many years in the New Bedford area of Massachusetts. Its fine condition made it a perfect candidate for a top-level restoration, which he saw completed in 2011. The finest shops in the Northeast were retained to build one of the most compellingly restored examples of the model ever attempted.
Elegantly finished in McKinley Gray with a Red interior, as specified on its firewall tag, the Convertible Coupe was treated to a rotisserie restoration to ensure its underside received equal attention. According to Mr. Morgan, Jenkins Restorations and Interiors provided the upholstery and convertible top, and noted craftsman Jim Lowrey completed the paint and bodywork. At its 2011 concours debut at the CCCA Meet in Westport, Connecticut, the Series 62 scored an incredible 99.75 points, earning a well-deserved First Place in the Primary Division. With dutiful care and very limited mileage since, this Cadillac has seldom been seen publicly, and it stands as one of the very finest of its kind, finished in truly ideal and correct colors. Any enthusiast should be proud to feature it in their collection.
