Many of our customers are familiar with the Cadillac automotive brand name. This luxury vehicle division of General Motors is going strong to this day, offering buyers options ranging from sedans to SUVs. However, with this listing, we are going back in time where Post-War Luxury was a thing. There’s always a brilliant, rich story that comes with cars like this. Fleetwood Metal Body was an automobile coachbuilder founded in the early 1900s that was acquired by GM in 1925. As Cadillac became more selective in offering bodies after 1934, this well-preserved 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is worth adding to your classic collection. This gem awaits in Salt Lake City, Utah, for its next lucky buyer.

The body glides elegantly on top of a front independent suspension with coil springs and a semi-elliptic leaf spring suspension at the rear. The whitewall tires add a beautiful period correct look while the 4-wheel hydraulic drum brake system offers stopping power. As you step inside this 1949 Cadillac Series 75, the brown interior fitted with cloth bench seats welcomes you with a vintage charm. The three-spoke steering wheel is ornamental to this cabin, while the gauge cluster displays fuel and coolant temperature, a horizontal speedometer, battery voltage, and oil pressure. down below the steering wheel, there are a bunch of switches and pullouts. There is a vintage radio and a clock off to the right side of the dash as well.

Under the hood of this 1949 Cadillac Series 75 is a 331 cubic in General Motors 5.4-liter V8 engine. The 4-speed Hydra-Matic automatic transmission that is married to this engine marks Cadillac's first year of offering this option.
