For 1941, Cadillac styling took a major turn. For the first time, headlights were fully integrated into the front fenders, and a horizontal-theme grille stretched from side to side. The hood was made front-opening for the first time, and the gas tank filler was hidden in the left rear tail light, a feature that became a Cadillac hallmark.

Surprisingly, the most expensive 1941 Cadillac was not the largest. Since the demise of the V-16 after 1939, the top-of-the-line Cadillac had been the Series 75 Fleetwood. In juggling the product line for 1941, Cadillac had reduced the wheelbase of the 75 from 141-inches to 136-1/2, though its $2,995 to $4,045 price remained about the same. But 1940s Series 72 was replaced by a new Series 67, priced from $2,595 to $2,890, its 139-inch wheelbase topping the Fleetwood’s by 2-1/2 inches, and its overall length, thanks to a generous “touring trunk,” making it the longest Cadillac. Available in five- and seven-passenger configurations, these Series 67s could be ordered both with a division partition (Limousine) and without (Touring Sedan, as this car). With an even 900 produced in all variants, they are rarer, if slightly less prestigious, than the Series 75s.

A three-owner car, this rare Series 67 Touring Sedan has its original Fleetwood interior, intact but for new carpet in the rear and a new trunk liner. Shipped January 22, 1941, to Forest Cadillac-Oldsmobile Company in St. Louis, Missouri, it has been repainted from the original black to Monica Blue, a very dark shade. The exterior trim was re-chromed in 1994. It is equipped with fender skirts, jump seats in the rear, pushbutton radio, heater, a driver’s side exterior mirror and dual windwing air deflectors. The dashboard woodgrain shows its age, and the plastic steering wheel has cracked in a number of places, common on materials of that age.

The engine and mechanical systems – brakes, clutch, tires – have been rebuilt or replaced. The engine compartment and undercarriage have been cleaned and painted and are in tidy overall condition.

A rare car – one of just 280 built – it is recognized as a Full Classic by the Classic Car Club of America. It is thus eligible for all CCCA meets and CARavan tours and with seats for seven, you’ll be able to take the whole family.
