1950 Cadillac Series 61 Coupe

1950 Cadillac Series 61 Coupe export model, originally delivered to Munich, Germany and ordered with a rare three-speed manual transmission (and a speedometer marked in kilometers). The Series 61 short wheelbase coupe was among the lightest Cadillacs produced, and with a 160 horsepower overhead valve V8, it was also among the most powerful American cars of the era -- but the vast majority were equipped with automatic transmissions. Only a handful were ordered with manual transmissions, most notably a pair of 1950 Cadillac coupes campaigned by Briggs Cunningham in the 1950 24 Hours of Le Mans.
