No Reserve: 1941 Cadillac Series 60 Special Fleetwood Sedan

This 1941 Cadillac Series 60 Special is a Fleetwood-bodied sedan finished in black over gray cloth. It is powered by a 346ci V8 paired with a column-shifted three-speed manual transmission, and features include steel wheels with hubcaps, bench seats, wood interior trim, a clock, and a radio with a built-in speaker. The vehicle was donated in 2021 to the Wichita State University Foundation—where the seller is employed—and proceeds from the sale will go to support scholarships at the university. This 60 Special is now offered at no reserve with a Kansas title in the name of the Wichita State University Foundation.

The Series 60 received styling tweaks for 1941 that included a new, wider front grille. This example is one of 4,101 built for the model year and is finished in black with chrome bumpers and trim as well as a flying goddess hood ornament. The paintwork and exterior trim are shown up close in the photo gallery below.
