Cadillac introduced their third generation of the Series 75 for the 1941 model year. This updated generation of the Series 75 was built on a shorter chassis. When production resumed after WW2, the Series 75 was the top model offered by Cadillac. The third generation of Series 75 was offered as a sedan or limousine, and was powered by a 5.7L V8 engine, with production continuing until 1949, when it was replaced by the Fourth Generation Cadillac Series 75.
