This 1949 Cadillac Series 61 Club Coupe, sometimes referred to as a 'Sedanette,' wears styling by Frank Hershey and Harley Earl. Styling cues include tailfins and 'jewel' gills which quickly became de rigor features across the automotive industry for the next fifteen years. Its aerodynamically efficient body is graceful and fluid with subtle lines paired with a responsive new powerplant. The engine is a 331 cubic-inch overhead-valve V8 engine paired with a Hydra-Matic automatic transmission.
The coachwork was executed by Fisher and the interiors were designed and styled by Fleetwood.
This 1949 Sedanette was completed by the factory on June 1eth 1949 and subsequently shipped to its ordering dealer. Optional features include the Hydramatic automatic transmission, backup lights, dash clock, license plate frames, heater, front and rear bumper guards, push-button radio, and driver's side mirror. On all four corners are chrome hubcaps and wide whitewall tires.
The car originally wore a black exterior over a dual gray cord and broadcloth interior. Currently, it has been refinished in the period-correct shade of Metallic Silver and the interior has been refitted with green carpets and trim, though the cloth is believed to that originally provided by the factory. Currently, the odometer indicates fewer than 34,000 actual miles.By Daniel Vaughan | Dec 2021
