Pretty special car, Frank! Check the condition of the rubber bumper in the door jamb, or check the striker to make sure it's in adjustment. Neat thing about that car being so original, is that you know it's never been apart.
@@erichanson3961My father always bought Oldsmobiles because, he said, features that were going to be on the Cadillac were tried out on the Olds the year before.
Truly enjoyed the ride-along in this gorgeous Cadillac. I didn't realize they had the automatic transmission in '41. Back in the early 50's our family car was a 1940 Chevrolet. We had the car for several years, I don't remember riding in the car, but I do remember the car! 4-door maroon sedan with vacuum assisted three-on-the tree transmission.
Oh yeah, hydramatic was around...Studebaker had "turbomatic ", but it was scarce and not too reliable. My friend's dad had a '41 Oldsmobile, he said up steep gradients that rear end would whine like a scalded cat! And it had hydramatic...
All of a certain age, who rode (as children) in the back seat of any 1940s GM "Sedanette" will recall the immediate sense of impending doom while back there.
One of the best looking cars I've ever seen!
What a beautiful vehicle, I love the sound of those old v-8s.
This beauty is in my garage now in So Cal. The passenger door does rattle a bit at low speeds....

Those Were the Days, and the Great Vehicles 👍 😊
Wonderful car.
Incredible that at that time one could buy such a beatyful car , just off the showroom.
nice car , in the garages of the finest homes and subdivisions in 1941
I am simply astonished that American motorists were offered automatic transmission in 1941.....gorgeous car...

1941 was the first year for the Hydramatic! Only available for Cadillac and Buick.
@@Cascadiaclassic 1940 Olds was the first Hydramatic offering. Cadillac got it for 41, but not Buick.

GORGEOUS! As a huge fan of classic cars and art-deco design, this rolling work of art makes my pulse quicken!
Same here!

Glad you enjoyed it! Neat to hear about your '40 Chev.
Yes, 1941 was the first year for the Hydramatic!

Awesome car!!!
Look at that Hood
That thing has an automatic transmission? I didn't know they had them until 48, I believe
Yep, 1941 was the first year for the Hydramatic.
Curious about the shaking while driving? Seems to rattle a bit? Any insights?
That’s mostly because the camera was mounted to the side window with a suction cup! The car rides smoothly and doesn’t rattle.
@@Cascadiaclassic That makes sense. Thank you. What a beautiful Cadillac.
Was this up for sale or what?
Hydramatics were good transmissions. 4 speed. Rolls-Royce used them in the fifties.
Is this for sale?
As the description says: Sold
10000 miles, hydramatic, can you ask for anything more??
