1940 Cadillac Series 75 Town Car

This unusual car is Style #7553 from the 75 Series of pre-war Cadillacs, and it is a seven-passenger Town Car, with an exposed cockpit for the chauffeur. This blue car with a matching blue interior is one of only 14 built, with a list price of $5115 back in 1940. The Series 75 cars had a 114-inch wheelbase and were available in a variety of luxurious configurations, from two-door coupes to sedans and limousines, including convertible versions of many of these. Each style was produced in very small numbers. An additional three bare-chassis Series 75s and 52 so-called 'commercial' chassis, with a 161-inch wheelbase, were delivered to independent coachbuilders.
