Vehicle Description

Our available Cadillac V12 is in show-quality condition and superb in every possible way! Proven so by achieving 99.75 points of 100 at the CCCA Spring National earning Senior First status! This eye-catching and all number's matching classic Cadillac is finished exactly as it was ordered per manufacturer records. A remarkable example representing one of only 172 Cadillac V12 370C Town Sedans ever produced! Truly an outstanding example!

About the Cadillac 370C Model:
Cadillac introduced the V12 power plant in 1931 allowing buyers some extra power and performance without the added cost of the larger V16 engine. Production output for the 370A was tremendous as buyers found both the 40 extra horsepower and luxury status of the V12 engine, to be well worth the extra money! Cadillac sold 5,733 V12 units in 1931 setting the stage for progressive design changes in 1932, now referred to as the 370B. The classic, carriage-like bodies by coachbuilders would transition between 1932-1933 into a more streamlined automobile with flared fenders and curved running boards. Styling changes for the 1933 Model 370C would include a V-shaped grill with painted radiator shell giving the appearance of a longer hood, particularly because of a radiator cap was now hidden underneath. Skirted fenders were adopted for a more modern appearance, along with a slightly swept-back windshield, along with, individually controlled door vent windows. Today, coach-built vehicles of this era embody a classic style that car collectors worldwide cherish as one of the most beautiful in automotive history! In 1933, only 953 Cadillac V12 examples would be built, with only four body styles to choose from making the particular classic V12 370C model seen here one of the rarest models in the marque's production during the 1930s.

About our Cadillac 370C For Sale:
This beautifully restored 1933 Cadillac V12 370C Town Sedan rides on a 140" wheelbase providing smooth road comfort for all passengers. According to the Cadillac build records, it was special ordered and sold through General Motors Products Co in Oshawa, Ontario, Canada and remains presented exactly as the build sheet indicates to this day.

We are proud to offer a show-quality 1933 Cadillac V12 370C finished in an all-Black exterior with matching Black fenders, Ivory pinstripe, and Black 17" Kelsey Hayes wire-spoke wheels & hubs. This stunning classic Cadillac shipped on May 25th, 1933 to be united with its original owner, and today represents one the finest in existence! It was painstakingly restored in true nut-and-bolt fashion in approximately 2010 with nothing left untouched. From a meticulous chassis restoration with all new hardware, fuel system, brakes, and suspension components to a total refurbishment and rebuild of the factory, number's matching drivetrain, it shows as well underneath as it does from above!

The bodywork and paint finish are simply remarkable, and the interior cabin space is nothing short of perfection! The Brown broadcloth seating upholstery, door panels, and headliner are perfectly stitched. Decorative windlace surrounds all of the door openings, along with refurbished rear passenger assist handles and grab bar. The graining of the wood on the dash and door reveals is perfectly directional, highlighted with superb dark wood inlays! All of the dash instrumentation remains clear and functional, and steering wheel controls are bright and legible. You can see its stunning interior for yourself in our detailed Youtube Videos! (youtube.com/stlcm).

Additional features include a 3-speed manual transmission, 4.80:1 rear axle ratio, dual side-mounted spares with beautiful Cadillac-engraved mirrors, jeweled cigar lighters, chrome trumpet horns, dual exhaust system with quad mufflers and decorative exhaust tips, Cadillac hood mascot, rear luggage rack, and BF Goodrich Silvertown 7.50-17 8-ply wide whitewall tires.

This very special Cadillac example hails most recently from the Gernatt collection. Under his care, it would garner high praise being shown at the AACA Hershey National in 2012 to earn its Junior National First Prize, and later that next year successfully gaining Senior First Prize status. As a CCCA Full Classic, it would be invited in March 2013 to the CCCA Spring Grand Classic in Mt. Dora, FL achieving a score of 99.75/100 points taking a Premier 1st Place in primary production class vehicles from 1933-1936. It is quite an honor considering the competition in this category. It is now CCCA Senior eligible for all future competitions. Cadillac Motor Company only produced 953 V12 vehicles across all four body models in 1933, making it one of the lowest production years in Cadillac history, particularly as a result of the Great Depression. Of the 953 Cadillac V12 models produced, only 172 would become the Town Sedan. It is indeed a special Cadillac example displaying a spectacular physical and mechanical condition that is second to none. It is one you can be proud to own, drive, show, and simply enjoy based on its beauty!! It will come with the Cadillac build sheet, two full sets of keys, hubcap removal tool, and lug wrench.
