Very rare Sixty Special Imperial! One of just 220 ever produced in1941! Thisone shows only 80,000 miles on the odometer and abeautiful, completely new interior throughout! Excellent optionsthat include division glass partition, 3-speed transmission,factory amber fog lamps, stoplight, dual radios, and more! A greataddition to any prominent Cadillac collection! In 1941, Cadillacdecided to go back to fitting their cars with just one enginemodel. It's the first time this one name, one engine marketingcampaign has happened since 1926. Now all Cadillacs were poweredby the same 346ci L-head V-8 engine, which produced 150 horsepower.This was a very bold move by Cadillac, but it worked out in theirfavor considering the engine's long standing reputation fordependability. Major design changes in 1941 included sweepingfront fenders now extending back into the front doors withheadlights built into the front along with a new, rectangulargrill, repositioned parking & turn signal lamps, and revised frontbumper assembly giving the new Sixty Specials a look often imitatedby other manufacturers going forward, including GM's own Chevroletdivision. The wheel base was reduced by one inch, and SixtySpecial prices increased slightly due to these fresh design andstyle changes. Even today, many Cadillac enthusiasts consider theSixty Special the most attractive Cadillac ever designed by BillMitchell. More so, just 4,100 examples would be built this final,full production year before the war effort would begin. Rarerstill would be the 220 Imperials manufactured with a factorypartition glass window dividing the passenger compartments. We arevery excited to be offering this 1941 Cadillac Fleetwood 60 SpecialImperial finished in its factory original Gloss Black lacquerexterior. Purchased from the former owner/curator for the past 36years here in Missouri, this very well preserved car remainednearly 100% original throughout upon acquisition. Although, theoriginal interior upholstery had survived rather well being coveredin plastic for many years, we felt this extremely rare Imperialdeserved a new interior. It was completely removed in late 2015and professionally refinished by our very own Danny Slivinski herein-house. Everything from the headliner to the carpet were allreplaced! New tan broadcloth cloth and light brown Bedford cordwere provided by Hirsch, and the oatmeal square weave in thetrunk. The headliner was outsourced and reproduced by SMS AutoFabrics. From the seat buttons, sun visors, re-chromed trim spearson the door panels & seat bottoms, Wilton I wool carpeting,binding, wind lace, wireon, to the new rear ash tray covers, it nowall looks brand new and truly gorgeous! The majority of examplescame in the style number 41-6019, which was a standard FleetwoodSixty Special Touring Sedan for 5 passengers. This one we areoffering has the style number 41-6019F, which was a Fleetwood SixtySpecial Imperial Sedan that has a formal glass division. Only 220were produced like this, and they were priced $150 higher than thebase model. Additional features on this example include favored3-speed manual transmission, power division glass, auxiliary oilfilter, Motorola Golden Voice pushbutton AM radio up front withfender mounted antenna, secondary rear radio with individualarmrest controls & rear mounted antenna, windshield washer,Appleton spotlight, locking fuel door cover, under-seat heaterswith windscreen defrost, front amber tinted fog lamps, rear trunklight, and Firestone Wide whitewall Deluxe Champion tires measuring7.00-15 in size.
