They made 700 of these in a shortened model year AND made 1570 Series 75's in 1942.   That amazed me.  Essentially 2200 limousine class vehicles.  It's as if the rich knew the war was coming and stocked up on new rides for the duration. 

I was looking for 67 series production in 1942 to be maybe 200.  It was not a well supported line for Cadillac, only created because of Buick

Many were staff cars during WW-2.

That would explain the higher than expected production of both the 75 and 67.  I mean that's a lot post Depression in my opinion.  But the 67 as you know Gary - was longer than the 75 so more room for strategy sessions. 

Would love to own it and restore it but it's a max $2000 car.

I just saw a S67 in The Narrow Margin (1952).
