Facts about the model

When the V16 engine arrived in 1930, Cadillac suddenly belonged to the real luxury car class. Although some of the Cadillac V16 chassis was sold to other coachbuilders, all the remaining ones were made byFleetwood, which GM purchased during the 1920s. In total, there were a large number of body options to choose from, including several versions Imperial, Pheaton and Cabriolet.

The Cadillac V-16 (also known as the Cadillac Sixteen) was Cadillac's top-of-the-line model from its January 1930 launch until 1940. The V16 powered car was a first in the United States, both extremely expensive and exclusive, with all chassis finished to custom order. Only 4076 were constructed in its 11-year run, with the majority built in its debut year before the Great Depression took strong hold.
