The 1941 Sixty Special Fleetwood Touring Sedan represents the pinnacle of Cadillac's luxury, performance, and style. Celebrated for its elegant comfort and advanced engineering, the history of this special Touring Sedan begins with a copy of its extensive five-page build sheet full of special order items with none more important than, “All interior details exact duplicate of special New York Show Town Car 6053 LB.” According to a rich oral history of the car from the third owner, Clarence B. “Bud” Juneau, the car was originally ordered by Roscoe Oakes, the Pacific Coast Manager for Union Carbide with Southern California oil interests and a Bay Area philanthropist, for his wife Margaret. It is recounted they were so inspired after seeing the one-off New York International Auto Show Cadillac Town Car they specially ordered this Sixty Special Touring Sedan by Fleetwood to match through legendary San Francisco Cadillac dealer Don Lee, Inc.

Of particular note is the passenger compartment within the interior that is outfitted with special “Biscuits and Bows” trim in Rose-beige Laidlaw Broadcloth, special Dinoc Macasson ebony grain panels, all rear compartment hardware and bright parts finished in brushed gold, and an electrically-operated Imperial Division window offering a chauffeur-driven experience. The exterior is just as special, with the Cadillac's greenhouse finished to match the passenger compartment materials. The lower exterior is finished to match the driver compartment upholstered in special order Damascus Maroon leather. The Goddess mascot—said to be gold plated—is finished so that it appears distinct, gliding over the front of the car while fixed to the chrome hood trim.

The Oakes were chauffeured in their Touring Sedan over 44,115 comfortable miles and, after their passing, the Cadillac was listed for sale among the assets of their eight-million dollar estate. It is said that Bill Harrah was among the bidders, yet it landed with Kenneth and Mabel Fox of nearby Piedmont who housed a collection of Cadillacs and Pierce-Arrows. After Kenneth's passing in 1970, the car remained undriven with 45,838 miles until it passed to their family friend and third owner, Bud Juneau in 1984. Under Juneau's care it accumulated an additional 2,000 careful miles and both a Cadillac & LaSalle Club Senior Award and a CCCA Premier Senior National First Prize. In 2014 it joined the Academy of Art University Collection as not only a rare and unrestored custom-ordered Cadillac, as but a piece of local San Francisco history with unmatched history, sophistication, and eye-appeal.
