Beautiful, curvaceous automobile! Seems to have a significantly lower profile than most cars of the day.

Quite distinct from a Caddy of that year, as a comparison.
When I was a kid, a man in the neighborhood got a new Cadillac every year. I was always anxious to see the new model.
In shot #3 it appears that it only has a accelerator pedal and one other pedal. Did this car have automatic transmission in 1941?

An automatic was available. Mated to a V-12 engine that put out a whopping 170 horsepower.
Equipped with electric hydraulic windows and top,dual distributors

And they made changing tire so much more fun.
Those fender skirts were definitely something to contend with.
Great capture KT! I always loved the lines of those old Continentals..
Off and on since the mid '50's Lincoln resurrected the "Continental Spare look" on some of their later "Continental" offerings, but no V12 after 1948..
Those elegant grilles though are masterpieces! Each half is a one piece die casting! And each tooled "by the number".. In steel.. Without 3D drawings or CNC milling centers.. A true tribute to the toolmaker's art!
Yep.. 'Always loved the lines of those old Continentals.. 'Never saw one in white before..
Thanks for the treat! It brought back good memories!

Great shots, KT. Edsel Ford had much to do with this design, that first saw the light in 1939 as a prototype.
