Cadillac broadened its market coverage in 1936 with the introduction of the series 60 family of vehicles – completely new to cadillac. They were priced very fairly and showed extraordinary performance. They ran on a 121-inch wheelbase which was 7 inches shorter than the smallest 1935 cadillac. New, also for 1936 was the redesigned l-head v-8 with 322 cubic-inches which was rated at 125 bhp. Behind it was a three speed manual transmission. All 1936 cadillacs were equipped with gm's knee-action independent front suspension and had the new duo-servo hydraulic brakes. Also new to this cadillac was a center-point steering and a front stabilizer bar which was an industry first and complimented the carry-over rear stabilizer bar and contributed to the exceptional handling on the 36's. All of the bodies were done by fisher – the larger cadillac vehicles had bodies finished by fleetwood. Offered here is a survivor ’36 cadillac convertible coupe by fleetwood. It is mostly original and has a few minor changes from new, but overall is a true authentic pre-war cadillac that runs and drives nicely and had great patina and is begging for someone to enjoy or restore back to its glory. This is #35 out of the assembly plant in detroit and was optioned with master radio, flexible steering wheel and heater. The color scheme is believed to be 1 of 6 built with the klamath green exterior with matching green leather interior. According to the owner this car was bought by her husband’s grandfather in ’42 and remained in the custody and ownership of that same family up to present time. It was stored along two other cadillac convertible in their garage and routinely used and serviced. The vehicle fires up with ease and gets up to cruising speed with ease and is very enjoyable to drive. Recent service work was completed less than 100 miles ago in 2014. New fuel pump, front wheel cylinders, brake wheel cylinders, spark plugs, wires, brake hose, carburetor kit, distributor condenser, distributor cap and rotor, master brake cylinder, fresh brake fluids, fuel sending unit, gas tank, exhaust manifold, gasket set, battery, fuel line and fittings, bulbs, and all fresh fluids. The bill was just over $6k. There will never be another car like the pre-war cadillacs and with fully restored ones bringing well over $150k, this is a great buy. Vehicle comes with authentic 1936 license plate, service receipt, and clean title. We highly recommended this car for any car aficionado that has a passion for these cars that will never be duplicated ever again.
