1940 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special

Up for sale is a 1940 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 Special Series. This is a beautiful CCCA classic that is ready to drive and enjoy. The car starts and runs well - very quiet - a great driver.
It retains the original 135 bhp /346 cu. in. OHV V-8 engine. The car shifts smoothly with the three speed selective synchromesh manual transmission, steers well, and has a smooth ride. It has theoriginal6 volt system (positive ground), original hub caps with theCadillacemblem, factory ventilator / heater and original jack !!! This was the last year the side mountspareswere offered and this car has them along with the rear view mirrors with the Cadillaclogo. The Fleetwood body is rust free - and was repainted some years ago in the original colors of Evergreen (lower body) and Chicory Green (upper and wheels). The car rides on a 129"wheelbase chassis.The Trippe fog lights work as well. The interioris nicely done in Mohair Fabric and may be the original and shows minimal signs of wear. Headliner is intact and looks very good. All gauges work except the fuel gauge is intermittent. It retains the original standard Trippe lights and in dash clock. There is a small crack in windshield (approx. 1" in length) and the dome light is not working (bulb?)
