Vehicle Description
1956 Cadillac Woody Station Wagon, 1 OF 8 produced. Built by Hess
and Eisinhart these were known as view masters.: The View Master
was constructed on a modified version of the 129-inch Series 62
chassis, enhanced with a Series 86 commercial-duty cowl and
floorpan. In 1955, the first year of View Master production, the
standard engine was a 331-cu.in. overhead-valve V-8, fed by a
single four-barrel carburetor and rated at 250 horsepower. Buyers
wanting more thrust could opt for the Eldorado's V-8, which
produced 270 horsepower thanks to its dual four-barrel carburetor
setup. A total of 12 View Master station wagons were produced in
1955, including the prototype, which was the only example not
ornamented with DI-NOC and fiberglass "wood" trim. This blue car
has been serviced and is running well, A very unique Cadillac.
