The Cadillac Series 341 is a model built by the American automaker Cadillac from September 1927 to summer 1929 .

Model history

In September 1927, Cadillac presented the Series 341 as the successor to the Series 314 , again with a V8 engine.

Technically, the Series 341 was largely new. The wheelbase of all regular models was lengthened to 140 inches (355.6 cm), the frame was now guided over the rear leaf spring packages, the rear track was widened by 5 cm, the diameter of the front drum brakes increased, the front seats were adjustable and bumpers were standard throughout. For the first time since its appearance in 1915, the displacement of the V8 was changed. The 84.1 mm bore and 125.4 mm stroke resulted in a total displacement of 5589 cm³.

On offer were 15 cheaper variants, with a price range from 3350 to 3950 dollars, with open and closed bodies from Fisher Bodies , a body shop that has now been taken over by General Motors , as well as 60 different bodies from Fleetwood, which was also owned by GM. The prices of the Fleetwood versions started at 4095 dollars and had an upper limit in the case of one-offs.

In addition, there was an ambulance and hearse on a wheelbase of 386.1 cm.

The changes to the 1929 model year were mostly cosmetic, but mechanically operated duplex brakes and a synchronized three-speed gearbox were also introduced.

In September 1929 the 341 was replaced by the Cadillac Series 353 ; by then, a total of 38,104 of the Series 341 had rolled off the production line.
