This 1949 Cadillac Shop Manual is a high-quality, authorized, licensed, PRINT reproduction of the original equipment manufacturer (OEM) shop manual, which was written and first published by the experts at Cadillac Motor Car Division.

While the exterior styling in 1949 may have been similar to the previous model year, the same was not true under the hood of these new Cadillac models.
