1949 Cadillac help needed

[Joe Cocuzza]

I am looking at a 1949 Cadillac series 61 4-door sedan.

It has been a family-owned car from 1949. It has 53K original miles. Always garaged...

The car is 100% original - paint, interior , engine, etc.

Never been in an accident.

The interior is in mint/perfect condition.

No rust on anything anywhere.

Has not been run in 4 years.

Needs tires, brakes rebuilt...

I don't know ANYTHING about Cadillacs so I am asking for help in establishing a fair

market value if I want to purchase it.

 

Thanks in advance

For whatever use it might be, here is Hagerty's opinion as to value on the '49 Series 61 4-door sedan:

• #2 Excellent$21,400
• #3 Good$15,300
• #4 Fair$9,500

Okay. Long overdue update time.

I was able to install the new fuel tank/sending unit into the Caddy.

Now the car runs as it should feeding off the fuel tank.

I am removing the drums and looking at the wheel cylinders which more than likely will be rebuilt

Progress is slow and now it has stopped for a bit - just had surgery a week ago - so no bending/lifting for a while

Hope to get back at it by end of August because I am planning another surgery for knee replacement in Oct/Nov which will knock me out of commission for the rest of this year.

If you want the restoration to go faster and more easily, rather than rebuilding some cruddy old wheel cylinders....

I have Brand New, Fresh Stock,

Master Cylinder, ALL four (4) Wheel Cylinders, Brake Hoses,

Front & Rear Brake Shoes with No Core Charges / No Return Shipping, 

& Front Inner & Outer Wheel Bearings  & Seals....

And a whoooooole  lot more....
