1941 Cadillac Series 62 346ci Monobloc V8

This 1941 Cadillac Series 62 convertible coupe .  The car is finished in maroon over tan vinyl upholstery, and power comes from a 346ci Monobloc V8 paired with a four-speed Hydramatic transmission. Features include chrome bumpers and trim, fender skirts, a painted-steel woodgrain dash, and the Cadillac Automatic Heating System. Service performed under current ownership reportedly included the installation of a replacement tan soft top and a Bosch coolant temperature gauge. The Fisher-built body on this example is said to have been delivered from the factory in black, and it was repainted in its current maroon during the 1990s refurbishment. Equipment includes chrome bumpers and brightwork, a “Flying Goddess” hood ornament, a driver-side mirror, chrome fender spears, side-hood grilles, rear fender skirts with Cadillac emblems, and a fuel-filler door concealed above the left taillamp. A replacement tan soft top is said to have been installed under current ownership. The body-color steel wheels wear chrome covers and are mounted with 7.00–15 Firestone whitewall bias-ply tires. A matching spare wheel is stowed in the trunk. The Series 62 rides on a 126″ wheelbase and features a coil-sprung independent front suspension as well as a live rear axle with leaf springs. The four-wheel hydraulic drums were reportedly overhauled in September 2019 with the installation of a replacement master cylinder, front wheel cylinders, and drums. The cabin features front and rear benches trimmed in tan vinyl along with color-matched door panels, carpets, and a top boot. Equipment includes Cadillac’s optional Automatic Heating System, a painted-steel woodgrain dash, a clock, and a locking glovebox. The AM radio does not work. The ivory-color two-spoke steering wheel features a semicircular chrome horn ring and fronts a 100-mph speedometer with a chrome bezel joined on the painted woodgrain dashboard by a horizontal bar with gauges for water temperature, battery charge, fuel level, and oil pressure.

The 346ci Monobloc V8 was factory rated at 150 horsepower. A September 2019 service included a rebuild of the carburetor as well as the installation of a replacement fuel pump and spark plugs. Power is sent to the rear wheels via a four-speed Hydramatic automatic transmission. The chassis was painted black during the 1990s refurbishment, and a replacement fuel tank and sending unit were installed in September 2019. Oil seepage is noted at the rear main seal. The Virginia title carries an “exceeds mechanical limits” odometer brand.
