Guest midlife Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Can anyone advise me on the complexities of a 1941 Cadilac 63 series four door hard top? Like does it have any quirks? Are there any maintenance issues? Parts issues? Will it be a big head ache or a nice dependable cuiser? I haven't bought it yet but it's all original and runs good. I don't want to get in over my head since I'm new to this . Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted July 17, 2012 Share Posted July 17, 2012 Most mechanical parts are readily available for these cars. Does it have a hydramatic trandmission, or is it standard shift? How many miles on it? Has the engine been rebuilt or is it original? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest midlife Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 It's all original and runs good (that being relative I'm sure), has 80,000 miles, hydramatic transmission automatic. You're sounding encouraging so far so I'm going to go for it unless someone tells me something bad soon. Thanks a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Landman Posted July 18, 2012 Share Posted July 18, 2012 GM's of the 40's are very reliable cars when they are in good condition. I had a 47 Olds straight 8 with Hydramatic and it was one of the best vehicles I have ever owned, solid, reliable and well built. The only thing that I didn't like was its tendency to wallow on its four coils. But the streets here are like roller coasters so it may not be torally the car's fault.
