1938 Cadillac Series 90 Convertible Coupe

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". Call our classic car division at 815-323-6536 for more vehicle information.
