1941 Cadillac Series 75 Fleetwood.This is the "Standard of the World", Cadillac's slogan at the time. A very rare Series 75 Fleetwood Touring Sedan with the five seat configuration (with added folding bench for +2, that has seat belts but easily removed) This is one of about 135 (only a handful survive) or so that were built as the five seat (no jump seats) which usually means it was purchased for personal use, not corporate use. I have a copy of theoriginal invoice too! The previous owners plan was to make this elegant lady into a very user friendly driver, so he made many upgrades that DO NOT detract from the overall aesthetic of the grand pre war classic. He told me the purpose of his upgrades was to use theautomobile as weddingvehicle in his retirement as well as a nice driver. This could be great in your fleet as a specialty rental!

The odometer reads 67,XXX miles, I have no reason to believe this is not correct. The three speed column shifter and clutch are smooth as well as the idle. Radio and power antenna do not function, but lights up. The body is very straight, but not perfect, NO RUST. The chrome is also very nice, but not at all perfect. The former owner told me (via email) that he has $28,000. in receipts(working on getting the balance of his file) plus thepurchase price of the vehicle. The fender skirts alone cost$1500.00!
I also have two short videos Ican send to you at your request. One is a cold start with hood up and engine running and the other is aquick walk around.
There is probably so much more I could add, please feel free contact me with any question, I DO NOT need help selling! Thank you.
No fear in driving the lady on thehighway either 70mph is no issue!
