Vehicle Description
Check out this beautiful 1949 Cadillac Series 61 Fastback Club Coupe - also known as the "Sadenette." This sleek fastback coupe is more than just a beautiful car, it's a well-preserved piece of Cadillac history. Owned by the same enthusiast from the late 1960s until recently, this Cadillac was pulled from a treasured estate and is ready to impress its next caretaker.
Lovingly shown and driven from the late '70s through the 2010s, this car is a show veteran with trophies and plaques dating back over 45 years, all included with the sale. It retains the same beautiful paint and interior it received in the 1970s and has clearly been babied ever since. With just 98,000 believed-accurate miles, this Cadillac runs and drives like a dream.

Condition Overview:Exterior:The black paint, though 45+ years old, still shines beautifully and shows wonderfully. With only some very minor imperfections and a few touched-up chips from over the years that only add to the character. Chrome is excellent throughout and shines excellent.
Interior:Seats, door panels, and carpets are extra clean and correctly finished. The steering wheel appears restored and is show-quality. The dash and gauge cluster are original and absolutely gorgeous.
Mechanical:Starts easily, drives smoothly, and feels very tight. The engine bay is detailed, clean, and all correct. Everything under the hood and beneath the car speaks to long-term care and pride.
Trunk:Immaculate with correct liner, spare, jack, jack instructions, and even what appears to be the original paint under the trunk lid.
Underside:Dry, clean, and rust-free-no undercoating, just honest, well-preserved metal. Straight, tight body panels and excellent fit.
Extras & Documentation:Comes with the original owner's manual, vintage registrations going back to the '60s, receipts, and a thick binder of ownership history.Includes plaques and trophies from local shows and a national first prize from the Mid-America Old Time Auto Association.Spent its life in Arkansas under the loving care of Mr. Don Redding, a known Cadillac enthusiast.
Final Word:If you're looking for a legit, unmolested, turn-key '49 Cadillac Sedanette that's as honest as they come, this is it. A rare opportunity to own a true survivor with stunning style, rock-solid provenance, and show-winning presence. Cars like this don't come around often.
