This 1939 Cadillac 61 Convertible Sedan is extremely rare – only 140 were built, and only a handful survive today. These were luxurious and powerful cars, with the Cadillac monobloc 346 cubic inch V-8, 135 horsepower, Hydraulic lifters, synchro-mesh transmission, Radio, and heater.
.
The factory sidemounted spares are a nice touch. This car has benefitted from substantial recent mechanical service, including a rebuilt, Correct 346 cubic inch Cadillac V-8, new clutch and pressure plate, rebuilt steering box, rebuilt radio, and much more. It runs and drives beautifully, and is a pleasure to operate. It also has a high speed rear axle installed to allow for extended high speed interstate cruising!
.
Cadillac Styling was beautiful in ’39, with streamlined aerodynamic inspired grilles and beautiful fenders. A moving tribute to the streamline moderne style of design! The black paint is older but very nice, with only a few minor scratches and flaws, particularly some cracking on the lower left front fender.
.
Excellent in side view. Note the beautiful chrome and new Cadillac hubcap emblems.
.
Excellent plating and chrome throughout. I love those blade style bumperguards.
.
Chrome on Black is a great combination!

The license plate is a replica, – goes with the car, but you couldn’t get it registered that way. Car has a clean Kansas title.

Nice!

Nice porcelain, and correct green Cadillac engine paint. The engine runs really great.

Here’s the driver’s side – nice and clean.

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
