This 1937 Cadillac Series 60 convertible coupe is said to have been in storage from 1953 until it was purchased by the seller in 2012. It subsequently underwent a build that included the installation of a 6.2-liter LS3 V8 with electronic fuel injection as well as a 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end with a 3.23:1 final drive. The car also received a repaint in dark blue and a re-trim of the interior in Camel leather upholstery. An independent front coilover suspension was also installed along with a four-link rear setup, and additional equipment includes an aluminum radiator, an electric fuel pump, power-assisted steering and Wilwood four-wheel disc brakes, a dual-exit exhaust with Flowmaster mufflers, staggered-diameter Wheelsmith wire wheels, LED headlights, a black soft top, power windows, a VintageAir HVAC system, a tilt steering column, and a hidden Custom Autosound Bluetooth stereo. This modified Series 60 is now offered with build records and a clean Minnesota title in the seller’s name.
The Series 60 was Cadillac’s entry-level model from 1936 to 1938 and shared bodywork with the contemporary LaSalle. This example was refinished in dark blue in the 2010s, and the brightwork was rechromed at that time. Features include LED headlights, turn signals, a hood ornament, custom running boards, a two-piece windshield, electric windshield wipers, a black Haartz Stayfast top, a power-operated trunk, and dual brake lights.
The Wheelsmith wire wheels measure 17″ up front and 18″ out back and feature body-color rims. They are mounted with Kumho radial tires, and body-color spare wheel covers are mounted in the front fenders. The chassis was reportedly powder-coated before a Scott’s Hotrods ‘n Customs independent front suspension and four-link rear setup were installed during the build. Suspension components were also powder-coated at that time. The car is also equipped with power-assisted steering, and stopping power is provided by Wilwood power-assisted discs at all four corners.
The cabin features front and rear benches trimmed in Camel leather upholstery along with a matching lower dashboard, rear center console, and custom door panels. Tan wool carpets line the floors, and additional equipment includes power windows, a VintageAir HVAC system, a hidden Custom Autosound Bluetooth stereo, and rear cup holders.
The banjo-style steering wheel is mounted on a chrome tilt steering column ahead of a painted steel dash housing a 110-mph speedometer, a combination gauge, and a clock. The five-digit odometer was reset during the build, and it shows zero miles. The trip meter shows 19 miles, all of which were added after the car was completed. Total mileage is unknown.
The 6.2-liter LS3 V8 was installed during the 2010s build and features electronic fuel injection. An aluminum radiator with an electric cooling fan is also fitted.
Power is sent to the rear wheels via a 4L60-E four-speed automatic transmission and a 9″ rear end with a 3.23:1 final drive. A replacement fuel tank and electric fuel pump were installed during the build, and the inner fenders were coated in Rhino Liner. The dual exhaust system features Flowmaster mufflers.
