The exterior shows all of the standard chrome trim throughout, including the iconic “flying goddess” Cadillac hood ornament. The chrome wheels have the Cadillac shield at the center backed by red, along with a red border where they meet the whitewall tires. It retains the original 331 V8 and all drivetrain components appear original. The only components visually not original on the vehicle are the tires and the battery, and the odometer has clocked 30,882 miles. Only 11,839 of these Series 61 Club Coupes were produced in 1950, with far fewer survivors in original condition
such as this example.
CONDITION: Very fine, a true survivor of the
post-World War II “Golden Age” of American
automobiles, retaining almost all of the original
paint with some scattered patches of minor
cracking/chipping, some scattered spotting,
and overall an attractive age-dulled appearance. The chrome remains almost entirely bright and the glass is all present, undamaged, and appears to be original. The interior is very fine overall, smells of moth balls, which have preserved it well. Mechanically everything appears to function as it should, with the odometer reading 30,882 original miles (we recommend buyer have a competent mechanic inspect it). This Cadillac is a true survivor and time capsule from a bygone era of American automobiles and would be fantastic for either museum display or a cruise around town!
Estimate: 20,000 - 35,000
