Most of us Forty-Niners have only one ’49 Cadillac, but 28 chapter members, including Jack Hoffman of Horicon WI, are lucky enough to own two or more. On the left in the photo below is Jack’s dark green 6207, whose motor is stock with Hydra-matic. To the right is Jack’s classy Coupe de Ville, about which he writes, “It’s almost finished. The car is now stick shift with the regular side shift box and the correct steering column. I have `55 heads and dual carbs along with a “hotter” cam. However, I may convert it back to stock, but am torn between the two possibilities. I have not yet built the exhaust system which will depend on the final engine status. This lack of exhaust confines the car to the shop.”
