1941 Cadillac Series 62-Upgrades and Special Features

Filed under: Car Service — admin @ 2:04 pm

Now that the rewiring job is nearly finished, we are moving on towards other exciting upgrades. We’ve fit the car with new lever action shocks that attach to the axle in the rear and the upper control arm in the front. These lever shocks absorb significantly more than the stock system. Other things to get excited about: new master cylinder and hydraulics!

Underneath the hood, we’ve introduced a new distributor, and replaced the original oil bath air filter with a modern filter that fits in the ’41 housing.

This Cadillac has a few special features that are worth mentioning… Not only is this car extremely advanced for its time, but it may very well be one of the first Cadillac models to feature these parts.

  • automatic defroster
  • seat heaters
  • windshield wiper fluid–in a glass jar!

More to come!
