The Cadillacs that wrapped around the war years spoke of understated luxury. Unlike the later models of the 1950s with tons of garish trim and spikey tail fins. The trim on this 1941 Cadillac series 60 Fleetwood sedan are small but delightfully detailed as is the grill which is emblazoned with the Cadillac crest and topped off with the "Flying Goddess" hood ornament. I wonder how many of these Cadillacs were requisitioned for the general staff and painted Olive Drab with a big white star.
Here's Omar Bradley's '41 series 75:
and poor General Patton's '39 series 75:

Very nicely stated Rich. And yes, those Danbury Mint Caddy's were the elegance of beauty.

Never noticed the Fleetwood lettering in the bottom corner of the door. Jumped up to check mine is there! Yep. What a model and car hey? Beautiful leather seats and interior in general. Thanks Rich.
