Featured on AutoHunter, the online auction platform driven by ClassicCars.com, is this frame-off restored 1941 Cadillac Series 61 five-passenger coupe. It is powered by a 346cid V8 backed by a three-speed manual transmission. Features include interior woodgrain appliqué, AM radio, and heater. Finished in black over a tan cloth interior, this Cadillac with the original sales paperwork and clear title.
Nineteen forty-one was the first year since 1929 that Cadillac relied solely on V8s. That wasn’t a bad thing because the 1940s were full of new values and new style, plus the (re)introduction of the Series 61 series that played the role of the discontinued LaSalle.
The exterior of this 1941 Cadillac was refinished in original black hue during restoration. Features include chrome bumper guards, hood ornament, dual mirrors, fender and rocker trim, and rear wheel skirts.
A set of Vincennes Red steel wheels with chrome hubcaps caps and trim rings are wrapped in whitewall bias-ply tires.
The interior is upholstered in tan ribbed cloth. Features include manual steering, woodgrain appliqué, column-mounted manual transmission shifter, AM radio, heater, and white two-spoke steering wheel.
The instrument panel consists of a 100-mph speedometer plus gauges for the fuel level, oil pressure, battery, and temperature. A clock is mounted on the right side of the dashboard. The odometer reads 63,028 miles.
Power is provided by a 346cid L-head V8 and backed by a three-speed manual transmission. An electric fuel pump and PerTronix electronic ignition system have been added for reliability.
This Cadillac was factory-equipped with an independent front suspension and a solid rear-drive axle. Braking is provided by manual four-wheel drums. A single exhaust outlet exits at the rear.

This is NOT a coupe, it is a “SEDANETT”
I think you mean “Sedanette” but, no, it’s a five-passenger coupe according to the horse’s mouth.
