This 1949 Cadillac Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Cadillac Motor Car Division.

If you're planning on working on one of these fine automobiles, this service book is definitely a valuable resource, and a tool you'll want to add to your tool box.
While the exterior styling in 1949 may have been similar to the previous model year, the same was not true under the hood of these new Cadillac models. The new power plant was a 331 cubic inch overhead valve V-8. It was compact and stout and destined to be a design with staying power. With this repair manual at your finger tips, you'll be armed with the information and confidence needed to get (and keep) this stylish classic motoring down the road.
The meticulous instructions found in this book are generously complimented by a large number (and wide variety) of visual aids. There are black and white photographs, illustrations, tables, cut-away views, graphs and more.
