(PICS) My fave of all time: the 1949 Cadillac Club Coupe.
Color is Cypress Green.

I agree with your admiration. My first car was a '51 Chevrolet with the same slope-back styling. I liked it! Of course, it was hard to see out of the back, the trunk space was kind of limited, the back seat headroom by the standards of that time was limited, and Chevy shared much of this with the Cadillac you picture. But, gosh, they looked good. Thanks for the memories.

Oh yes. New V-8, beautiful postwar styling, impeccable quality. America's best car?
Retired in Dunedin, Florida.

Beautiful car, in glorious GREEN, but I hate the fast back on full-size cars.

Love it! A long time fan of this body style.

Incredible styling for 1949....none of the others touch it.

Remember how hot-rodders used the 2dr. torpedo back Chev. Wide whites, dual exhaust, black or red rims with "baby moons", fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror, suicide knob, etc. Slow cars of course but looked and sounded great; especially gearing down into second. Lots of great looking inexpensive customs came from this car too of course.
