1938 Cadillac Series 75 V8 Convertible Sedan
Restored as Needed, Gorgeous Original Interior!Harry's Thoughts
THE ESSENTIALS
This is a beautiful 1938 Cadillac Series 75 V8 Convertible Sedan with Division that has an incredible provenance and has been restored only as-needed. The restoration services were performed only as needed and the result is a beautiful example that can be shown at most all concours events or enjoyed for touring.
During his past ownership, this Cadillac has undergone a refreshening to exacting standards, including a bare metal respray of the original Black paint and a correct replacement of the tan canvas convertible top.
The exterior of this Cadillac was refinished in its original Black livery and still appears showroom new. The chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition with only a few minor imperfections. The tan Haartz cloth convertible top was replaced along with the inner lining and a replating of the convertible top frame. It is still in concours condition today. The lack of dual side mounts give a longer appearance and looks great, giving the Cadillac a more commanding presence. The chrome wheel covers are in fine shape and are wrapped with Firestone wide white wall bias ply tires. With the convertible top down, the Cadillac looks more like a sporty phaeton than a convertible sedan.
The beautiful Grey leather interior is largely original including the carpeting. The door panels look terrific, save for some wear marks near the footwell and from the utilization of the window cranks. The front seats are comfortable and show little signs of wear given the age of the Cadillac. The rear seat shows well when considering the age and still has a soft and supple cushion. The original interior are examples that this Cadillac has been incredibly well loved and cared for since new.
The wood trim looks very nice and really reveals the quality and beauty that Cadillac is known for. The dash and instrumentation are clear and clean. The division operates with a near effortless twist of the handle. Adorning the area around the division window handle are a cigar lighter and a rare Fleetwood clock. The interior accent lighting is functional and bright.
Mechanically, this Cadillac is ready for the show field and for long distance touring. The 346 cubic inch V8 offered 135 horsepower when new and provides ample power. The floor mounted three speed manual transmission moves through the gears well and offers a confidence inspiring driving experience. The engine compartment is finely detailed, and the undercarriage is clean and original.
