1956 Cadillac Woody Station Wagon, 1 OF 8 produced. Built by Hess and Eisinhart these were known as view masters.: The View Master was constructed on a modified version of the 129-inch Series 62 chassis, enhanced with a Series 86 commercial-duty cowl and floorpan.

In 1955, the first year of View Master production, the standard engine was a 331-cu.in. overhead-valve V-8, fed by a single four-barrel carburetor and rated at 250 horsepower. Buyers wanting more thrust could opt for the Eldorado’s V-8, which produced 270 horsepower thanks to its dual four-barrel carburetor setup.

A total of 12 View Master station wagons were produced in 1955, including the prototype, which was the only example not ornamented with DI-NOC and fiberglass “wood” trim. This blue car has been serviced and is running well, A very unique Cadillac.
