This 1940 Cadillac 60 Special is beautifully restored, a Classic Car Club of America first place winner in National competition in 1986, and in excellent condition throughout! It has been properly maintained and stored, and is just recently in from Sunny and dry Palm Springs! It is nicely equipped with Dual Sidemounts, Radio, Dual heater – dash AND underneath the seat – defroster, vacuum antenna, and factory equipped turn signals!
.
The Cadillac 60 Special was GM Stylist Bill Mitchell’s early masterpiece – a personal luxury car, intended for the owner-driver, on a reasonably sized chassis and with all of the high quality and luxury that was expected in a Cadillac! The body was constructed by Fleetwood, Cadillac’s custom body outfit.

The 346 Cubic inch flathead V-8 runs great! Nice, quiet, good oil pressure. I can tell it has been driven some since it was a CCCA trophy winner in 1986, but it’s nice and clean and presentable under the hood!

Here’s the passenger side of the engine. All stock and correct. It really is a good running car!

Another view of the Engine. The car runs and drives great! My only caveat is the transmission likes to be shifted slowly into 3’d gear – if you shift too fast, you’ll get a snick.
.
Here’s the trim tag . Also note the correctly restored wiring using the cloth insulation.
.
A beautiful car ready for club events and touring! Although maybe not a top show winner today, the excellent quality of the restoration is evident, and the car would be welcome at any of the shows, tours and events today !

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provide for a “cooling off” period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts. Therefore, you cannot later cancel such a contract simply because you change your mind, decide the vehicle costs too much, or wish you had acquired a different vehicle. After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. However, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
