Summary:
Used 1940 Cadillac Fleetwood White
Location:
Salem, OR
Description:
The body was taken off and body and chassis were disassembled and bead blasted to show necessary repair areas of which there were many on the body. Engine and transmission were overhauled with all new parts as was the rest of the car. The right hand cylinder head was a faulty casting, leaking water to the outside. I replaced both cylinder heads with almost brand new "war heads" that I got from Steve Passmore in England. Paint, chrome, interior, brakes, front axle, roof etc. etc. - all new at the time. Too many things to mention. Take a look at my website, highlighted below. The car stands like new even now after the time that has passed since the restoration.This Cadillac was built in 1940, it is a model 1940 -7567 2-door convertible. It is truly a gigantic car for a two seater, 141" wheelbase!!. According to Walter M.P. McCall's book "80 years of Cadillac/LaSalle", only 30 of these high priced cars were manufactured in 1940, of which few have survived. A very rare car, indeed! Body number is 23 out of the 30 manufactured. This one is the only one in Germany. There is a bench seat in the front and two folding seats in the rear. This is a most elegant, very large convertible that attracts awe and admiration everywhere. The body color is a light beige, close to the original Marquette Gray and the leather seats and door panels are green leather. The top is black canvas. The instrument panel was burled walnut painted by a local paint brusher to fit the wooden door panel tops. The car had the 1941 trim strips on all fenders which I liked and put back on after the restoration. It also sported 1941?? skirts which I didn't like and left off, but will include in the sale as well as the spare tire covers. The fender wells were rusted and I liked the looks of the car much better without fender mounts so they were closed. The intact spare tire covers (even with key) will go with the car. There are several spares that will also be included along with a shop manual, an owner's manual and whatever else I have.
