TerryB Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 No space to put bodies in the trunk of that one! Great looking car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andrew_Latvia Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 (edited) At a first glance the car seems nice, but I've noticed some things, that I do not like: woodgrain dashboard needs to be redone, steering wheel is in bad shape, pot metal grille looks suspicious, two tone paint scheme's color separation lines are incorrect. All of this is just my humble opinion. And this a cruiser and not a sports car, this not a coupe or convertible, so, in my opinion, it doesn't make sense that there are only two doors.

neil morse Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 Are you sure the two-tone scheme is incorrect? I don't have any direct experience with these cars, but I found this factory photo online: This car is not too far from me. I would be willing to go and look at it if anyone is interested. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take a closer look at the paint separation line below windshield. It is wrong on that car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Malo48 Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 I have a '41 Special in about the same driver-level shape as this, and I know they are about the same in many regards, but I would trade mine for this. I've said it before but I am a sucker for a '40s GM fastback. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ok, Andrew, now I see what you mean. It's not a huge problem, but I agree that it does take away from the overall quality of the restoration. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marty Roth Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Saw the Maloof collection years ago on a VMCCA tour - rows and rows - a month's worth of each type- '41s, '59s etc Well, we can dream ... 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 (edited) I like it, but the wrong upholstery material kills it for me. Looks like velour. Here’s a mint one in the same colors I saw a few years back. They look so much better with the skirts on. Edited March 10 by K8096 (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kingrudy Posted March 10 Share Posted March 10 Nice looking car and it appears to be well taken care of. This would not be my first choice in color, but that said, seems like a fair price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deac Posted March 11 Share Posted March 11 I had contacted the seller thinking I might make a road trip to Morgan Hill (5 hour drive) or take Neil's offer and him go look at it. It's 24,500 and that's where it should stay. Most of the chrome is pitted except the bumpers. The chrome slats on the rear 1/4 panels are pitted and so is the grill. Though I am told the engine is in good shape the engine compartment is let down. By what the seller said on the phone the car will need brake work! The steering wheel is bad shape. With all that said, its a Cadillac! Everything is expensive. Me personally, I'm just not will to take on another project and this one is a pricey one at that! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
