I have a great opportunity for you. I am selling my Mothers + Fathers (Both are well) 1949 Cadillac 62 Series 2 owner car that they have owned since 1982. This is a non smoking and moth ball free car. It smells super inside just like a 1949 Cadillac smells like in the day I'm told. This beauty only has 61. 75 original miles!! The entire time they have owned the car it was stored in climate control with wood floor and that is the greatest situation for an older car. They took this beauty out a few (1 to 3) times a year to Cadillac Shows with friends that also had older Cadillacs. This was just enough to keep the car moving and active enough to be fresh. This car is still a 6 volt system and starts up with a turn of the key and a push of a button. It can be hot or cold it loves to start right up. I put a brand new 6 volt battery in to ensure a perfect delivery to you. A bit of history on this one: It was purchased in a Kruze auction in Syracuse NY and the car was just restored. You can see it was done well but not a SPOTLESS PERFECT restoration. It was a very nice job and the car has been nothing but a joy so they did a nice job. The motor runs as new. Stays cool. no knocks. ticks or pings. The transmission is a 4 speed automatic transmission that shifts beautifully in all gears. This car even has a blower motor (heater of the time) that was an optional extra back in it's day. The brakes are 4 wheel drum brakes with plenty of shoe left. I would think that changing the brake hoses and brake fluid would be a good idea. It tends to move about a little when the brakes are applied as if the brakes are getting uneven pressure common with older brake hoses. The steering is tight and precise as it should be. It has new conditioin Silverstone tires that are in MINT condition. It helps this car steer and ride smooth down the road. The car can keep up with modern day drivers because it features a over head valve 331 cubic inch 5. 4 liter 8 cylinder that produces 160 horse power. This was one of the first cars to achieve Motor Trends Car of the Year. The paint is jet black and it has specks where the paint has lifted off the metal. These have been touched up with a touch up brush through the years as more appeared. It still looks very nice as you will see in the pictures below. The chrome and stainless steel trim are above adverage condition as you will see. The beautiful hood ornament is really stunning. Words can not explain the feeling you get driving this beauty. Majestic is always what we say when we drive it or even see the car. The windows all go up and down. The wing window on the drivers side does not crank open but it does push open. The windshields. and rear 3 windows are free of cracks or stone chips. The locks do work on the car. The speedometer and odometer work as well as the gauges. I am not sure about the radio but there was tape on it from when the car was restored so it may work. The wipers. lights and turn signals function very well. The horn should work but I forgot to check. The emergency brake works great. The car is super solid. Always stored with care. Always covered and we used Decon mouse and rat pelets that kept the car from getting munched on in storage. The muffler is quiet but has some holes in the pipe in the back. I have another new muffler that will go with the car. The car has won some awards in the years and I will give you some of them. I even have some manual. books. and records showing some repairs over the years. Rebuilt generator. belt. new water pump. fuel pump. oil changes. new battery. new tires . ect. I have in my hand the transferable NYS registration that transfers ownership exactly as a title would in another state. Pre 1973 NYS cars have transferable Registrations. I am VERY familiar with Antique cars and have gone over this car and see NO evidence of damage that was repaired or replaced floors ect. The car is not perfect but always got 1-3 place in over 20 events in it's time with my Family. As years pass my Parents are doing other activities and would like to pass this beauty on for somebody else to enjoy. I am very familiar with how to ship cars out and make sure the paperwork is perfect. I will also provide any parts can other items we have gathered over the years for this car for you. Thank you and enjoy the 75 + pictures taken just the other day of this beauty. International Buyers are welcome with open arms. Feel free to let us know what you would pay and we will consider all offers. I have no extra fees.
