Cadillacs for Dismembering (Not Mine)

[Peter S]

Given all the recent interest in prewar Cadillacs, here are two Massachusetts and one Finger Lakes NY cars that could certainly be companion-donors s to a restoration. The 1941 coupe might even be restorable if you accept that any car from this part of the country will be rusty.  The hood suggests a fire but there are no obvious traces in the engine bay shots. 

 

The 1941 sedan looks close to fair price for what it is. The LaSalle from the Finger Lakes seems a bit far gone for the asked price.

I've seen the 1940 LaSalle in person a couple years ago, its as far gone as it looks.

The coupe looks pretty decent. I would think if not restorable, there’s $3500 in parts on it, his asking price.

It would be a shame to part it out.  Even needing complete floors, it seems like it would be worth the effort and expense to save it, as a really decent driver.
