| This "Super Forty-One" has been part of a Central California family for more than 25 years. Prior to that, it was represented as a local barn find with a light cosmetic restoration and/or known California dry climate history. It was purchased by the current owner for her Father as a gift, he cared for it for many years until his passing and since that time it has rested in the garage with Mom. Over the past few years, the convertible top has been restored and has received limited operation... One of only 12,181 56C Super Eight Convertible Coupes built during the 1941 model year. It is powered by what is "believed" to be the original 248 cubic-inch dual-carburetor Fireball straight-eight engine (125HP/278 Torque). According to a specs tag on the passenger side of the engine block, the engine #54401933 was rebuilt in 1994 and matches the titled/registered Vin# according to factory engine stamp pad (early CA vehicles registered by engine#). Transferring the power is a 3 Speed Selective Sliding gear transmission and Semi Floating rear differential... Body Number 14198741, Model 56C, Style 41-4567, Trim 919 and Paint 561 "Rainer Blue". The body is straight, solid and the older restored paint finish is presentable with expected finish patina/age including related body trim (see video). The paint finish in the door jambs and other hidden areas "appears" as factory. The interior has been re-done in a "Vinyl" with factory type color. The Tan soft cloth convertible power top material has been professionally restored and/or replaced. Features include driving lights, driver spot light, Sonomatic radio and rear fender skirts... In closing, this is an honest and very presentable type survivor that will need the type of caretaker who does not mind some tinkering and restoration to suit your own level. Other than a mechanical function (starts/runs/drives) test drive and an honest cosmetic once over, we did not test every single option or other components as to function and we will leave that up to the next caretaker...
