The 1946 Cadillac Fleetwood marked the restart of Cadillac production after World War II. This luxurious model was largely based on the pre-war design of 1942, but was modernized with subtle stylistic revisions. The Fleetwood was characterized by elegant lines, generous chrome trim, and a high-quality, handcrafted interior. The vehicle was powered by a 5.7-liter V8 engine producing approximately 150 hp, which enabled superior performance for the time. The Fleetwood was particularly popular with wealthy buyers and was considered the epitome of American automotive elegance and comfort.
