Leif in Calif Posted January 13 Share Posted January 13 Same seller as the "'immaculate" '40 LaSalle posted recently... (more pics in ad but none of the engine) https://sacramento.craigslist.org/cto/d/pine-grove-1941-cadillac-touring-sedan/7706313705.html For sale is an immaculate 1941 Cadillac touring sedan. It sports a 346 cid flathead v8, and a hydromatic shiftless transmission. It has an older restoration, but it presents beautifully. The body is perfect, with minor scuffs as you would expect, but no dents or rust. The interior is near perfect, all gauges work, brights are good with no pitting. It also sports the addition of a visor and fender skirts. This car is a real head turner as it purrs down the road. It gives an amazingly smooth ride for it's age. Get in and drive away .Please contact me with any questions. No scams, no trades. All cash offers considered. (209) 217-6351 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TerryB Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 Picking the nits- the skinny whitewalls look undersized for the car and the fender skirts look very add-on and ill fitting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
58L-Y8 Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 It's a Model 61, the lowest-priced Cadillac one could buy, the model that replaced the LaSalle. Modern radials look bad on these cars, the fender skirts are the factory units, look fine with proper tall bias-ply whitewalls. Note in the second picture Mr. & Mrs. Tinman are coming to check it out... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
neil morse Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 I agree that the skirts are correct, but proper tires make a huge difference. Lose the sun visor and get a new set of tires, and it looks like a pretty nice car. But I think the price is as exaggerated as the hyperbolic ad copy! 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
7th Son Posted January 14 Share Posted January 14 My dad bought a similar '41, 61 sans visor and skirts and with a manual transmission right after the war. Mom put up with his "ostentatious display" until the gas pedal linkage broke and she had to drive it to the repair shop using the hand throttle. The Cad was soon replaced by a very subdued Buick. Never another Cadillac in our driveway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
