A True Piece of Automobile History! 


1946 Cadillac Sedanet
Ending a hurried production run that had begun four years earlier, just after Pearl Harbor, the last M-24 tank rolled off the Cadillac assembly line on August 24, 1945. Amazingly, the first '46 Caddy was produced on October 7, 1945.
By necessity, the '46 Cadillac was a quickly thrown-together rehash of what Cadillac had offered in 1942, and only Series Sixty-Two four-door sedans were built at first. Cadillac ads made much of the fact that their "Battle-Proved" engines and transmissions were the only automotive components continually produced without interruption during the war, and improved along the way to boot. A major modification, however, was the adoption of a negative battery ground.

Styling changes were minimal, though noticeable. Rectangular parking lights resided on the upper portion of the slightly modified grille (with fewer vertical bars), and wraparound bumpers were adopted front and rear. The front of the hood and the decklid now sported the Cadillac crest nestled in a "V," which would become a long-standing trademark, so the Cadillac block lettering was moved to the front fenders.

Model offerings were pared to just 11 for 1946. Gone entirely were the Series Sixty-Three and Sixty-Seven, while the Sixty Special lost its division-window model, as well as the vertical chrome strips on the fenders. The latter were replaced by five hash marks on each C-pillar. Series Sixty-One and Sixty-Two continued with the coupe and sedan, and the later boasted the only convertible in the lineup as since 1941. The Series Seventy-Five, meanwhile, was pared to five models, down three, although five-, seven-, and nine-passenger models were still listed, as were the Imperial models with divider windows. Seventy-Fives traded the hood louver decorations and triple fender speedlines of '42 for an almost full-length chrome strip starting at the front of the hood, and gained stainless steel running boards. Cadillac block lettering was moved to the lower front fenders.

Strikes and materials shortages, particularly of sheet steel, were major industry-wide problems during the '46 production year. Thus, some Cadillacs went through the assembly lines with only brackets to hold temporary wooden bumpers -- the real ones had to be installed by dealers as they became available later.

Pressure on Cadillac to produce was intense. Even in 1947, there were still almost 100,000 unfilled orders for what one division sales manager, D. E. Ahrens, called ". . . one of the most sought-after, and most scarce items in the world today." People knew Cadillac's value and prestige, and that was what they wanted, but due to the early postwar difficulties only 29,214 customers got to drive a '46 Caddy home.

The Penny Scale at the Drug Store

There weren't many things that a Boomer kid could spring for without bugging mom or dad for a nickel. Basically, such an item had to cost a penny. While nickels were hard for a kid to come by, pennies could be found in all sorts of places. You might spot one or two in the kitchen junk drawer. Digging in the dirt could possibly uncover one. It wasn't unusual to spot a cent lying on the sidewalk.
So what could a kid do with a single penny, besides springing for a miniature Tootsie Roll?
He could take advantage of a finely-tuned scientific instrument that could be found in many small-town locations, drug stores in particular. He could spring for getting weighed.
The penny scale was a wonderfully massive thing to a kid. It was big, heavy, and stable. And it was just tall enough that it made a kid feel big to be able to see the weight window. Plus, a child with a penny could become a paying customer with no help from a parent, something that would make him feel grown up.

When's the last time you saw one of these?  This would look great in your newly remodeled farm houe, cabin, or wherever fits your fancy.  Stop by and take a look and better yet take it home!!

What a great sign to hang in your dining room, kitchen, game room, or any room for that matter!  Hey, how about the barn?  Love to see signs on old barns!  They make such super photos and what a super contrast to the old barn wood.  Remember, Bread is the Staff of Life!

     Check this out!  Bet you've never seen one like it!  This Folk Art twig end table is very unusual and certainly one to make others just a little jealous.  lol!  This would look great in your mountain cabin or take it on back to Florida and have them all talking and asking where in the world you found such a unqiue piece. By the way, the roof on the little house opens for storage of those special little items!

     This one's for the guys!  Come wander through our Tool Room chocked full of old barn finds many of which are hand forged including harnesses, halters, and just a little bit of everything  and anything to spark your imagination.  Hey, these things are still "usable" so hurry over before your neighbor finds just the same thing you are looking for! 

   This wonderful old Victrola case would make a great little bar or could be used for the furniture value and a neat conversation piece.  Sit back and imagine those days of old and how much people loved being able to listen to their favorite music via the old Victrola!

This unique, hand-painted chest would make a great accent piece in the foyer, living room, bedroom, or anwhere for that matter.  Where would you find one like this?  Give us a holler because this one won't last long!
