The Black Pryncess
1942 Cadillac

Fleetwood style 7519-F
Formal sedan for five passengers

    
The Black Pryncess as I found her in a car expo-museum in St. Louis, MO.

This is how she looked when it came time for her to find yet another new home

Note erroneous, chrome-plated headlight trim rings
[ in 1942, these were painted body color]

The Pryncess carries this CCCA "First Prize Winner" badge
from the mid-seventies (#601)

New tail fins, tail-lights and back-up light [latter still needs to be connected ! ]

Body Details

    
Left:  hood emblem; right: rare, 1942 Cadillac "Goddess"

    
The Pryncess is one of 65 such body styles built; she is one of only 3-4 known survivors

    
Neat, tidy trunk appearance - albeit not factory original
(top, bottom and sides have been carpeted)

Other known Survivors

    
Two other known survivors [Aitken, left, and Mussatti, right]; there may be also a fourth  car;
[ the Aitken car is trimmed (unfortunately, in my opinion) in red velour ! ]
