Vehicle Description
It is said "There is no power plant, so smooth, so quiet and so
flexible" as the first production V-16; mass produced in January
1930 - 10 moths before rival Marmon V-16. In spite of the roaring
20's depression Cadillac managed to sell over 15,000 units before
decades end. Harley Earl, master stylist, for GM and his team used
the opportunity afforded by the new V-16 chassis to create some of
the most beautiful, luxurious Art Deco automobile bodies of the
period. In 1938 Cadillac introduced an entirely new V-16 431 cu in
180 HP Flathead configuration; which produced a mere 515 cars and
ended production in 1940 - only 10 were 90 series convertibles.
This matching numbers V-16 chassis and engine with the same owner
for over 50 years was fitted with an original series 75 convertible
coupe body, identical to the one of 10 - 90 series convertibles.
Featured in the Cadillac Clubs magazine, "The self starter". This
beautiful car of the stars is clad in mirror finish Italian creme
with all new red leather interior, accented by new black soft top
with boot. The original V-16 chassis and engine recently tuned;
runs and drives smooth, dependable and whisper quiet. Dual side
mounts and covers with the classic wide whitewalls and skirts truly
set off this luxurious beauty. Truly an Art Deco work of art,
recognized as a full classic by "The Classic Car Club of America".
