(Rare) 1940 Cadillac series 6227C coupe (Only 1320 produced)
It looks like it’s time to sell my coupe to make room for some other projects. This car is a great start to finish all original or modernize and paint whatever color you want. This car would make a great Hot Rod by installing a modern induction system, modern auto trans, disc brakes and convert to 12 volts negative ground.
