1941 cadillac sedanette
I've wanted one of these 41 Cadillacs for a long time and finally got this one about 2 weeks ago ! Really cool older guy named Tony sold it to me after owning it 30 plus years . It has a really nice body and I was actually happy that he had put a 350/350 in it 20 years or so ago as I would like to be able to put my kids in the back seat and drive wherever we feel like without worry . It's been sitting about 10 years as Tony has been having some health problems , so far I've cleaned it up a little , got the brakes working , cleaned the gas tank , had the radiator done , installed new lines , got it running , new tires and caps , skirts , lowered the back , probably will drop the front 1 1/2" or so . I always loved this body style and am going to keep working on it . Financially if I can afford to keep it for a while I'm going to try to , I always end up selling stuff cause I need cash for other stuff etc.

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Very nice. It looks solid. I picked up four door '41 two years ago. I hope I live long enough to get around to working on it.

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Nice car. I really like the '41 GM Fastback/Sedanets. Have owned several Buicks of this body type....would be at risk of owning a Caddy if one popped up at a good price.
Enjoy it. Ray

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Looks good! Mine is also a 41 6127D. Same running gear, but the suspension has been updated with Camaro subframe. I still have the front spindles, drums and the steering linkage if you need them.

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Are those circa 53-54 Olds wire caps on there? I like em.
Beautiful car, I have a postwar sedanette that I saved from being rat rodded, it's in storage till I can get to it tho.

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Love them fastbacks, I'm not biased either because I own a '46 Olds sedanette, same 'B' body

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
Hey Thanks a lot guys , I'm stoked on this car ! When I get some work done on it I'll get some better shots . Interior is pretty decent , Thanks on the front end stuff I'm okay though so far , caps are 54 Cad . I have some deep sombreros I might try to get to stay on , these 54's are pretty clean so they might stay for a bit . Guy that bought the Zephyr asked to remain anonymous so I need to honor his wishes . We got the Cad running really good yesterday , tried to drive it and I only have reverse . Messed with the tranny and I think it sat too long , or Tony burned it up and parked it ! I guess he forgot to mention it ... I already have a Lokar 350 shifter and found a good 350 to stick in locally for cheap , I'm tempted to go 700R though . Any Caddie experts know if those are 46/47 emblems on the hood and deck lid ? Check out this model I saw for inspiration , sits hard !!! Looks like your car 187 .

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
That's what I was thinking on the emblems . That model is bad ! It's on Ebay right now .

Re: 1941 cadillac sedanette
I have a 41 Sedanette also. Not as nice as yours. I got it in a trade a few years ago. It was an unfinished project. Early 70s Nova front clip, Caddy 500 and turbo 400 trans. It has the rear end out of an early 70s Cad.
I have done zero with it since I got it. Its never been to the stage of running driving with the newer running gear. Ive tried to sell it a few times, but was lowballed a little more than I like being lowballed lol. Unfortunately I'm into it more than its probably worth so Ill probably be sitting on it quite awhile. I do dig yours and the others in this thread though. Very classy looking rides. |

Check rear end ratio, but I think the 700R4 is the way to go. Freeway speeds in an old Caddy, yeah!
