A well-aged patina presentation of a rare fastback 1941 Cadillac coupe...That's what first attracted you to this one. And to make it a true rat rod kind of cool, they upgraded the V8 power, gave it a five-speed, and updated all the right pieces to make it a great driver.
The first impression is this coupe looks fresh from being found in a long-lost garage or barn. And right now, there's nothing cooler than showing up in a vehicle that looks worn-in not worn-out. By the second glance, you realize that this car is quite exceptional. After all, the sheetmetal is as straight as a six-figure classic. The brightwork is a similar story. It's complete and intricate, right down to the goddess hood ornament. But it also has the right ageing to go with the worn-in paint. So while this whole car has the level of completeness that some may see as a restoration candidate, we all really know this look was work that was done on purpose. So all it may even need is a clearcoat or matte top layer if you really want to lock-in in this unique style.
The interior is pure rat rod cool with some secretly rewarding upgrades. For example, the green carpeting and light green door panels have an old-school style, but they are later updates that feel rather fresh. Some cars of this genre love to replace the front seats with whatever they can find (you may even see some with lawn chairs!) This one upholds the mismatched tradition, but it utilizes late-model GM buckets. So you actually get nice bolstering and shoulder seat belts. The dash keeps the classic art deco look, but upon closer inspection, you'll see the speedo and clock slots in the dash now house a full Hanline readout package. And while the classic Caddy steering wheel is fun, the factory never gave you a floor shifter like that in '41.
When you look under the hood, the bright valve covers may say Cadillac, but that's a bit of a lie. Instead, the powerhouse is from another part of the GM family with a Chevy small block V8. This 305 cubic-inch motor has nice features like a Holley four-barrel carburetor and HEI ignition. Plus, this V8 is smaller and lighter than the old Caddy flathead that was first in here. It makes for a lower center of gravity and places most of the motor behind the front axle. This is no supercar, but we bet you'll love talking about those features with a big grin on your face when you park next to one at Cars & Coffee. And this one was really meant to be driven to your favorite places. The motor fires up nicely; the independent front end was given a comprehensive rebuild; and the five-speed manual transmission is a smooth shifter that gives you highway versatility.
This is one of those fun/amazing builds with a rare classic that rarely cross over into hot rod and rat rod territory. So if you want to get some honest attention, you need an honest caddy like this. Call today!!!

General Terms
Terms & Conditions
We recognize the need for complete transparency when buying/selling vehicles on eBay. That said, we did not build, modify, or have the luxury of personal ownership that would give us the advantage of knowing all unknown aspects of each vehicle. Transparency is king and we're happy to try and answer ALL questions our customers might have prior to purchasing. Additionally, we welcome and encourage independent inspections (see Inspection statement below).
FEES
: A documentation fee of 9 will be added to the purchase price at the time of sale. Sale price does not include any Title, License, Registration, State or Local Taxes or Processing Fees. We recommend you familiarize yourself with your individual state's taxes, transfer, or additional fees.
AVAILABILITY
: Please inquire prior to purchase to assure any advertised vehicle is not already sold. We advertise across multiple platforms where a vehicle can sell in a moment's notice. Vehicles may be sold prior to eBay listing end, and we reserve the right to end listings early or to cancel bids/offers solely at our discretion and shall not be held liable for any such cancellation.
CONTACT
: Note that you may hear from us after to the sale, but if you are a winning bidder, click a Buy-It-Now, or we accept your eBay Offer, it is your responsibility to contact us within 24 hours.
INSPECTION
: VERY IMPORTANT. If a buyer chooses to buy sight unseen (many of our buyers choose this option) the buyer accepts the vehicle AS-IS and understands we cannot address concerns post sale. For this reason, it's important all concerns are addressed prior to purchase. We make every effort to present accurate and reliable information, but use of this information is voluntary, and should only be deemed reliable after an independent review of its accuracy, completeness, and timeliness. It is the sole responsibility of the customer/buyer to verify the existence of options, accessories and the vehicle condition before time of sale.
PAYMENT
: We require a non-refundable 0 deposit within 48 hours of winning or commitment to purchase. Full payment is required within 7 days of offer acceptance unless other arrangements are agreed to in writing. If deposit and/or full payment are not provided within said timeframe, all vehicles will be relisted and transaction will be considered void. For balance of payment we will accept bank wire transfer (preferred), cashier's check, or personal check (vehicle shipment will be delayed until check clears).We also offer vehicle financing, please inquire for details prior to making bids/offers.
SHIPPING
: We have access to a network of private and commercial carriers. Most of them can deliver the vehicle to your driveway and upon your schedule. We assume no responsibility for damages or delays incurred once a vehicle is in a shipper's custody. Buyers are welcomed to trailer vehicles home and we are happy to have everything ready to see you off with your new vehicle.
DRIVE IT HOME
: If you plan to buy and drive home, please keep some things in mind. Anything is possible when it comes to a vehicle, especially a classic or antique one. We recommend transporting all vehicles to your home first, then driving it locally. Get to know the vehicle and its tendencies before embarking on a long-distance trip. If you choose to drive your new vehicle home, buyer accepts all responsibility as we are unable to control what may take place once it leaves our facility.
DOCUMENTS & VEHICLE TITLE
: All purchase documents are sent immediately upon purchase. To avoid delays, we recommend returning any required documents within 24 hours of receipt. Please allow up to 30 days for vehicle titles. Usually titles are available sooner, we ask for the extra time in the event there are unforeseen circumstances.
VIN VERIFICATION
: We photograph the primary VIN location of every vehicle and make sure that VIN exactly matches the vehicle's current title. Buyer agrees to hold seller harmless from any disputes arising from other hidden or secondary VINs present on the vehicle as seller only verifies the primary VIN location. If needed, it is the buyer's sole responsibility to verify secondary VIN locations their specific state may inspect, prior to purchase.
MILEAGES
: Occasionally our vehicles may be driven or simply moved around our facilities. Slight differences may occur so we recommend you confirm actual and current miles prior to purchase.
CONDITION
: We cover the obvious and do our best to describe our vehicles in detail. Even so, please have a transparent conversation with us before purchasing. Do be aware that all pre-owned vehicles, regardless of age, mileage, or manufacturer are subject to cosmetic wear and mechanical failure. Finally, be advised that although our sales associates are here to assist you with your purchase, they are not trained or certified vehicle inspectors.
AS-IS
: All vehicles are sold "AS IS" and with no warranties expressed or implied. If you choose to waive inspection, do plan to have a detailed and transparent conversation with us regarding the vehicle's condition. Ask the hard questions up front. Please just call us, we are here to help and welcome all your questions!
DISCLAIMER
: This site and all advertising information may be updated without notice whenever new information is obtained and may contain mistakes and inaccuracies. Information is provided to the best of our knowledge and we make no warranty or representation regarding the accuracy, truth, or reliability of such information. We cannot be responsible for any errors, omissions, or inaccuracies contained in information provided by the consignor/seller of the vehicle. We strive to perform extensive visual inspections on all vehicles we represent but we do not disassemble vehicles or components for inspection purposes and therefore it is always possible that there is hidden damage that is not readily apparent. All vehicles are sold AS-IS with no warranties expressed or implied.
Fees and Taxes
Sales tax, title, license fee, registration fee, dealer documentary fee, finance charges, emission testing fees, and compliance fees are additional to the advertised price. Vehicle is listed locally, we reserve the right to end the auction at any time.
