Wagon Background: In 1941, Cadillac styling took a major turn. For
the first time, headlights were fully integrated into the front
fenders, and a horizontal-theme grille stretched from side to side.
The hood was made front-opening for the first time, and the gas
tank filler was hidden in the left rear taillight, a feature that
became a Cadillac hallmark. A Series 61 Fastback was offered in
both Coupe and Sedan designs as well. Power came from the
dependable 346ci L-head V8 producing a strong 150 horsepower with
Stromberg Aerotype carburetion and 3-speed manual transmission as
standard equipment. The ride was smooth utilizing coil spring,
independent front suspension and live rear axle with semi-elliptic
springs. Stopping power came from large, four-wheel hydraulic drum
brakes. Cadillac Woodie Station Wagon Info: Offered here is a very
unique 1941 Cadillac Series 61 custom built 6-passenger Woodie
Wagon! Finished in highly desired Burgundy over Tan Leather
interior with matching carpets and full headliner! Said to be one
only 14 Cadillacs converted by a special restoration shop based in
Costa Rica using the finest woods available! Their experts
hand-fitted and custom finished the wood framework with outstanding
results! The low fastback roofline of the original Series 61 Sedan
allowed for a special low profile stance never found on any typical
Cadillac station wagon, not to mention the expertise to hand form a
full steel roof! You have to admit, it is one of the most
attractive, might even say sporty, wood-attired wagons to take out
to the dinner club on Saturday night! The Overall Condition Of This
Woodie Station Wagon We Have For Sale The overall condition is
outstanding, with the chassis nicely painted underneath, along with
the exterior body color being using underneath indicating a proper
frame-off style restoration. Inside, the seating surfaces are

Nationals held in McLean, Virginia in August 2017. Upon arrival to
the St. Louis Car Museum, we had both the original 6-volt generator
and starter professionally rebuilt, along with installing a new
battery in February 2018. It continues to run and operate
wonderfully! This represents a unique opportunity to an astute
