With the Great Depression still exerting its grip on the economy and the prospect of war looking increasingly inevitable, America was understandably apprehensive in 1941. Nevertheless, the model year was Cadillac's best ever. Sales approached 60,000 cars, thanks in part to the sleeker styling that began appearing in 1939, and also to the 1940 demise of LaSalle, the GM luxury brand that overlapped Cadillac sales turf. Convertibles made up a small part of Cadillac's lineup - there were just two, both from the 62 Series - but they continued to be head-turners for the brand.
At some point after its April 1941 delivery to a Cincinnati dealer, the car was given a custom treatment that included a dip at the upper edge of the doors, a top modified to complement the door dip, the removal of the chrome spears adorning the body sides, and special paint. The current owner acquired the convertible from his father's estate in 2011 and is convinced that the custom treatment was the work of Howard A. 'Dutch' Darrin, one of the most famous of America's coachbuilders. In particular, the owner points out the interrupted line of the upper portion of the doors, a signature design element known as the 'Darrin Dip.' Unfortunately, the current owner has not been able to find any documentation to support the Darrin connection.
