1937 CADILLAC MODEL 37-60 SPORT COUPE
Henry Martyn Leland founded the Cadillac Automobile Company and completed his first car on October 17, 1902. It was named for Le Sieur Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the French explorer who had discovered Detroit. In January 1903, it was taken to the New York Automobile Show where orders for an astounding 2,286 cars were taken. What made the Model A Cadillac such a best seller was its refinement. The Cadillac "looked like a jewel from Tiffany's" when compared to the "machine shop look" of other autos at the show.
RB Collection is proud to offer this historic and rare 1937 Cadillac Model 60 Sport Coupe with its original configuration of Beauregard Beige (n° 60) paint over a Tan plain cloth interior (n° 42) and equipped from factory with a Master Radio and Heater Defroster according to a copy of its job card by Cadillac. This rare automobile is powered by a 346cu. in., 135 hp, L-head V8 engine matched with a 3-speed synchro transmission. Changes in the body for 1937 included an eggcrate grill with three horizontal bars on each side, hood louvers, higher fenders and bumpers carrying the Cadillac emblem.
