1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special on 2040-cars
Pendleton, Oregon, United States
|
I'm selling my beautiful classic 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special. I acquired this prewar survivor about 5 years ago out of a barn where it was stored most of its life. I consider this car in driver condition. It was repainted in the 60's and does have chips, thin spots in the paint and dings expected with a car of this age. The car has not been restored although I did have the original 348 flathead engine totally machined and sleeved back to the original bore and specs including hardened valves and seats to operate on todays gasoline's. The 348 ci engine (also used in tanks during the war) is backed by the first year Cadillac offered as an option, automatic transmission which is quite rare. 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special, this is the Bill Mitchell designed car. Complete rebuild on the 346 ci engine, resleeved to original bore, all new internal parts. New white wall radial tires with under 100 miles look good with the original restored hubcaps. Engine, frame and body numbers all match. Factory equipped optional automatic trans., heater works nice, most everything works except the radio although it does power on. I just didn't have time to repair it. Drives down the road nice, starts and runs nice. It looks to have been repainted and new interior installed in the 1960s. The body tag shows the paint to be a two tone grey from the factory. I acquired it right out of storage where it was stored in 1971, I have pictures as it was removed. This is one of the last of the prewar cars in good solid survivor shape. The chrome is not show quality as it has pitting, but everything there to work with if you should decide to restore it. I enjoy driving it in this "driver" condition. I'm amazed by the public's looks and thumbs up's on every drive. Also be prepared to make time for those who want pictures with it also. You'll see. Serious bidders can ask for specific pictures of interest if you provide me an email to send them to. Please ask any questions you have before bidding. Good luck Dennis |

Cadillac snags de Nysschen from Infiniti, names him new president
Fri, 11 Jul 2014Johan de Nysschen, the (now former) president of Infiniti, has officially jumped ship. The 54-year-old, who also spent time as the chief executive for Audi USA, has taken the position of president at Cadillac, following a two-year stint at the Nissan-owned luxury brand. In his new role, the 54-year-old will be responsible "for all aspects of Cadillac globally," according to a statement from General Motors.
"Johan brings to our company vast experience in the development and proper execution of luxury automotive brands," said GM President Dan Ammann, de Nysschen's new boss. "With over 20 years in this exact space, especially in the development of the Audi brand, his track record proves he is the perfect executive to lead Cadillac for the long term."
"I have for some time now been impressed by how the new General Motors has been transformed into a formidable force in the industry," de Nysschen said in a statement. "The combination of strong corporate leadership and exceptional engineering resources presents the perfect combination to restore Cadillac to its place among global premium brands."
Former Cadillac boss Butler takes Ford tech job
Tue, 07 Jan 2014When Don Butler made the surprising decision to leave his post as Cadillac's VP of global strategic development, it was a surprise. Citing a desire to "recalibrate, reassess my priorities" in that August announcement, it wasn't entirely clear where Butler - a virtual General Motors lifer after spending nearly 30 years with the company - would end up. Turns out he took a trip to Dearborn.
Butler has taken a position in the newly created position of Executive Director of Connected Vehicles and Services at Ford, where he'll be responsible for the Blue Oval's global connectivity strategy. "Not only does Don understand the connected car landscape, but probably just as important, he understands customer expectations," said Raj Nair, who, as Group Vice President of Global Product Development, is Butler's new boss. "Having a leader with technology experience both inside and outside the industry is a rare combination - we're excited to have Don join our team."
As Ford has received its fair share of flak for the sometimes recalcitrant MyFord Touch infotainment system and its Sync voice-controls, it appears that Butler has his work cut out for him.
