1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Sedan

1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Sedan – CCCA Full Classic – 1 of 400 – Manual Transmission – High‑Speed Rear End – Former John Milliken Car

1941 CADILLAC SERIES 62 CONVERTIBLE SEDAN #B348869 (Stock #4468) A rare opportunity to acquire one of the most desirable prewar Cadillacs: a 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Sedan, one of only 400 built in the final year Cadillac ever produced a 4‑door convertible. Recognized as a Full Classic® by the Classic Car Club of America (CCCA), the 1941 Series 62 Convertible Sedan represents the pinnacle of Cadillac’s prewar elegance, engineering, and design.

A Highly Desirable Specification

Of the limited production run, very few were equipped with the sought‑after manual transmission, and fewer still were fitted with a high‑speed rear end, allowing this example to cruise comfortably at modern highway speeds. This combination makes the car not only historically significant but also exceptionally usable for CCCA CARavans, long‑distance touring, and concours events.

Provenance: Formerly Owned by Renowned Cadillac Collector John Milliken

This car was cherished for more than a decade by John Milliken, one of the most respected Cadillac collectors in the world. His letter describing his first long drive home in the car speaks volumes about its mechanical integrity and road manners:

“The car is most comfortable on the freeway at 65 mph… It ran great, steered straight… I averaged a bit over 14 mpg and used no oil or water… The car made me very happy on this trip and now I know that I can trust the car on long distances.”

For collectors who understand the value of expert stewardship, this provenance is exceptionally meaningful.

Condition & Presentation

Finished in gleaming black with correct red leather interior, complemented by a black cloth convertible top and boot, this Cadillac presents with the elegance and presence expected of a top‑tier prewar luxury car. It is magnificent throughout, mechanically strong, and cosmetically impressive.
