Fastest back in the west

This found photo online is a lovely restoration of a '41 Cadillac fastback series 61. Such great lines and the deep burgundy is quite smart.

 

For those who love and know cars of this era, it's interesting to note that GM really hit something when they designed the fast back two door. Not only did Cadillac make one, but Buick, Pontiac, Oldsmobile and Chevrolet did as well. Chevy's Aerosedan didn't come along till '42, and hit it's most famous popularity by '47-8. But, it's really fun to see nearly the same body profile in other GM makes. It was a great design, and is still very popular among the low-rider and custom car cultures.
