It’s stock and authentic, with the 346 cubic inch Cadillac flathead V-8, and a 3 speed manual transmission. It drives beautifully, and has lots of power.

Very straight, and excellent panel fit.  This car was a glass-out, all body panels removed effort, we have photo documentation of the restoration work.

Great side view, and  a reminder of the reason ’41 Cadillacs are so popular – great styling combined with a more modern driving experience, capable of freeway speeds.

The Fenderskirts with emblems are a great touch.  All the emblems on this car are new.

Here’s the trunk emblem

And the fenderskirt emblem!

The chrome is all done and all fresh – by the experts at Sihilling metal finishing.  This is always a difficult piece on ’41 Cadillacs, and these are  beautifully done.

Excellent!

The interior is very nice, with seats done in the correct pattern, and a correct looking modern fabric.

Nicely trimmed!

Very nice rear compartment.  The vents show a trunk mounted A/C unit, but there is no sign of a compressor underhood.  So you have the beginnings of an A/C unit if you want to continue the project.

Good sunvisors and Guide day/night mirror

The dashboard is nice but not freshly redone.

Here’s another view of the dashboard.  Gauges work except for the amp meter, and the temp guage is an added mechanical unit.

This grille is mind-boggling!  It’s straight and does not have any pits, the quality of the work here is amazingly good!

The seats are excellent, but the carpeting shows a bit of age and use.

Nice doorpanels

Nice!

Stock and authentic Flathead Cadillac V-8. Runs great, lots of power, nice and smooth.

A great running car

Fan belts and radiator

IMG_8735.

This view shows the radiator shutters – that work when the coolant temperature is warmed up.  Cadillac had these external shutters instead of an internal thermostat.  Nice to see them working!

The car was rewired, using a combination of original style and modern wiring components.

It’s really pretty!
