A friend of mine has lots of old bumper jacks and I need one for my 1938 60S, if anyone could get me a picture of one that would be great. Thanks, Martin

Martin,
There should be a picture in your owners manual.

I need one of those too!!

I have the Body Manual and the Shop Manual but I dont see it in either one. If anyone has an owners manual please let me know.

Thanks, Martin

Folks,

Per the owners manual it states (1938-60, 65, and 75):

The jack supplied with the series 60 is of the type that lifts the car by the front or rear bumper. The conventional type jack is supplied with the Series 65 and 75.

The owner manual shows the conventional jack, not the one for the 60.

I think I might have the correct jack for the 60 so can take a picture if you want.

Martin, the owners manual for your car is on the website I sent you previously.  :)

Please, don't use the jack when you get one.

Tried to post a copy of the 1938 owner's manual, 2 pages, on the jack. Can't get it to load.

If you want a copy of picture of the small series provide me your e-mail address.

Here's a picture of what I've been led to believe is the correct bumper jack for all '38 LaSalles and Series 60 Cadillacs .

Hey Slim ...Cadillac had some funny looking bumper and rim jacks in the 1930's and early 1940's ...but not that funny !bb

RIM JACK! Did they expect you to actually climb under a 4,000+ pound car to work on it while being held up by one of those?

Some say that we shouldn't second guess the Cadillac engineers.... but I am not so sure.

Craziest thing was I had to try it just to see if it worked & it lifted the car easily.  When I sold the car I wanted to keep it but I believe you always keep parts with the cars.  I also let the JC Whitney catalog from 1978 I found in the trunk go with it too.  The racing jackets you could buy in there were priceless.
