The 56 deluxe, the radio antennae is on the passenger side. Maybe the car started with a radio delete plate?

Well, that 1941 180 Lebaron is an obvious copy of a "factory" 1941 Cadillac (60S).

I thought the intent of the Clippers was to jump ahead of the 60 Special styling . Seems to me the LeBarons were the last gasp of selling "custom" cars to the remains of the carriage trade Best John Harley

Hi
The $3,545 semi-custom '41 180 LeBaron Sport Brougham certainly drew inspiration from the '38-'40 Cadillac 60 Specials for its body architecture and design details. The major difference was Cadillac knew enough to tool it up for volume production, to sell at a premium price, approximately $400-$500 more than the standard Fisher bodied Series 60's while taking advantage of standard Series 60 mechanicals. The high-profile 60 Special immediately accounted for 40% of all Cadillacs sold in those '38-'40 models years and more importantly served as the design basis for the GM Torpedo C-Body, shared from Pontiac Torpedo Eight through Cadillac Series 62. the success of those models took the industry by storm for 1940 and drove Packard to hastily create the '41 Clipper. The LeBaron Sport Brougham was exactly the type of ultra-luxury sedan that should have been introduced by Packard for 1939 Super Eight as a production model in the $2,300-$2,600 price range, just a step up from the $2,100-$2,300 60 Special. As wonderful as the Sport Brougham is, it represents another of the missed opportunities of their late pre-war years. Steve

Hydraulic windows? Device mounted on engine side of cowl wall, switches on top center of instrument panel, and switches on doors, tells the story, right? Beautiful Packard.

Yep. Switches, and the up-down twin solenoid on the cowl wall. The pump and tank full of brake fluid was mounted under the car.
