01
Artifact Overview
Cadillac's 1940 models received a revised front-end treatment with fewer, but thicker, horizontal bars in the grille. Two sets of louvered bars were added to each side of the hood. Prices ranged from $1,685 for a V-8 coupe to $7,175 for a V-16 town car. This photo shows a design proposal with a different front-end look.
