We are proud to offer this 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood for sale in our
Atlanta Showroom. 1941 was the last year of Harley Earl and Bill
Mitchell's original Sixty Special design, as an all-new 1942 model
was in the works. Many consider the 1941 to the most beautiful of
this series. For the first time, Cadillac had its own front end
design�the "tombstone" grille with a high center section flanked by
lower side sections�that would identify Cadillacs for years to
come. The new "face" blended well with the original body, and the
rear fenders now held full skirts. For 1941, the wheelbase was
reduced by 1 inch, down to 126 in. Sixty Specials showed a $105
price increase to $2,195. Power was still supplied by the same 346
cu in (5.67 L) Cadillac engine as before, but was now rated at
150hp. Production totals include 3,878 Touring sedans, and 220
Imperial sedans. Only 1 Sixty Special Town Car was made this year
and used on the auto show circuit before being purchased by film
director, C.B. DeMille. With over $70,000 invested, this Cadillac
has had a frame off restoration (pictures), the stock motor
rebuilt, all chrome has been restored and re-chromed, tires by
Coker, the original radio, and a 12 volt system. The interior of
this car is extremely elegant and brings anyone back to the post
war glamor who sits inside. If you don't feel like a movie star in
this car, then all hope is lost for you getting your star in the
sidewalks of Hollywood. To view the car in greater detail,
including 100+ HD photos and HD video, please visit
