The 1948 Cadillacs were given an all-new, cohesive body design featuring a cut-down windshield and horizontal lines that followed the entire length of the car. Exclusive to this year was a drum-shaped instrument panel that housed all the gauges and controls. This design was discontinued the following year as it was deemed too complex and costly to produce.
This Convertible Coupe has been in prominent collections in the past decade. The car has been restored to high standards and finished in Lucerne Green with a tan interior with matching carpets. It features factory-available options, including an AM radio, the $174 Hydra-Matic four-speed transmission, a heater and an electric clock. Power is from a 346 cubic-inch Flathead V-8 with a single Carter carburetor.
In 2012, the car was offered for sale at the Pebble Beach auction presented by Gooding & Company. The car was estimated to sell for $100,000 - $120,000 and was offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the car had been sold for the sum of $90,750 inclusive of the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Nov 2012
