Unless otherwise specified all photos
and illustrations are from Yann Saunders'
collection of Cadillac photos, advertisements and product catalogs,

[This page was put together with great haste, just before leaving on a 6-week trip to Europe; it needs some more editing and there may be a few errors too. Only the French text is complete at this time]
The majority of illustrations below are from the superb, spiral bound, hard-covered catalog of Cadillac and Cadillac Fleetwood bodies for 1941, published on September 1, 1940. Some factory photos as well as a few photos of surviving cars are included; other will be added later, space permitting.
Each car is identified by (a) the "Series" code, namely the first two digits, and (b) the "Style" code, that is the last two digits and - in some cases - a letter suffix. Some additional descriptions of these double-digit body styling codes may be found in The (New) Cadillac Database© section entitled "Styling".
