Coachcraft (USA) Custom station wagon built on a new 1941 Series 61 Cadillac chassis (complete from the cowl forward - photo SSA93, p.9) for cowboy actor Charles "Will" Starrett who was known as the Durango Kid and wore a white Stetson like all the "good guys" in the pre- and early post-war Western movies (photo SSA93, p.8, McC p.250). He used to camp in the wagon while on shooting location. The car was involved in a collision and the hood replaced at that time with a 1942 model. Starrett sold the car back to Burton Chalmers, co-founder of Coachcraft Ltd., Hollywood, in 1956, when it was re-vamped to its current state with the addition of the 1941 hood side grilles, whitewall tires, additional bumper guards, road lights and a new maroon paint job (original color was Fairoaks green and the 1941 hood side grilles and crest were noticeably absent); the car was later purchased again from Coachcraft by Emil Thamert (photo SSA93, p.8) and subsequently, in 1966, by CLC member Hollis Weihe (photo Sch40, p.68); Hollis sold to to the current owner, William Lockwood, in 1966. It has been re-painted brick red. Burton Chalmers had this to say in the July 1959 Self Starter: the car [chassis?] was especially prepared and ordered from the factory through Hillcrest Motors in Beverly Hills. The original owner was Charles Starrett, noted Western star, and we bought it [back] from him in 1956. It has, needless to say, had ever-loving care since that time and is truly in excellent condition. The engine has just recently been completely overhauled and has been [driven] less than a thousand miles [since then]; there is no dry rot or signs of same in any of the woodwork; the paint (a 1941 Buick bluish gray), is in very good shape; the rear seat is still covered with the original top grain leather and the front seat has custom seat covers. The seats fold down to make a complete, full-sized bed and, since the front seat is in two parts, the passenger can snooze en route. It now also has headrests as well as a Coachcraft luggage rack. The price of $1000 for this gem we feel is very reasonable, but if we feel that it is going to get ever-loving care from a prospective owner, we will consider any price they think is fair. Probably it is worth a "few" thousand more than that today!​
