Overview

1931 Cadillac V12

Price: USD $219,500
For much of Cadillacs early history The Standard of the World was more than a mere slogan-it was a philosophy deeply embedded in every car they built. Cadillac dedicated itself to precision engineering refined craftsmanship and innovative technology elevating the brand to the pinnacle of the luxury automobile market. The 1920s saw Cadillac flourish with their robust and stylish V8-powered models bolstered further by the success of the entry-level LaSalle. As the company moved into the new decade they sought to further cement their dominance by introducing something revolutionary.At the 1930 New York Auto Show Cadillac stunned the motoring world with the debut of its unprecedented V16 engine an engineering marvel designed by Owen Nacker that set a new benchmark for refinement and power. However Cadillac knew that the market for such an opulent machine was limited. To capture a broader audience while maintaining their reputation for technical innovation they simultaneously developed the new 368-cubic-inch V12. Designed alongside the mighty sixteen-cylinder the V12 shared many of its key internal components and offered similarly remarkable smoothness and refinement. Producing 135 horsepower-an astonishing figure for the time-the new twelve-cylinder engine offered nearly all the performance and prestige of the V16 but at a more accessible price.The Series 370-A V12 was offered in both 140- and 143-inch wheelbase configurations allowing Cadillac to offer an extensive range of custom and semi-custom coachwork by Fleetwood and Fisher. Under the influence of the newly appointed design chief Harley Earl Cadillacs styling reached new heights of sophistication with long sweeping lines and impeccably tailored details. In the eyes of many the 370-A represented the ideal balance of performance style and exclusivity making it the discerning drivers choice among Cadillacs multi-cylinder offerings.This 1931 Cadillac Series 370-A Convertible Coupe exemplifies the refined luxury and sporting elegance of the Classic Era. While its early history is largely undocumented the car has undergone a meticulous restoration and remains well-suited for both exhibition and touring. Recognized with a Cadillac-LaSalle Club Senior Award and a Classic Car Club of America (CCCA) Senior Award it is finished in a striking two-tone burgundy and black color scheme. The deep high-quality paintwork accentuates the graceful lines of its Fleetwood-designed coachwork which features a long hood sweeping fenders and a raked windshield-details that contribute to its commanding presence just as they did when new.Period-correct details abound with a beautifully polished Flying Goddess radiator mascot leading the way. The stately chrome grille is protected by a stainless-steel radiator stone guard flanked by dual chrome trumpet horns dual side mounted spares and dual Trippe driving lamps. The car rides on body color wire wheels with chrome spokes wrapped in proper wide whitewall tires enhancing its sporting appeal. At the rear a restored accessory trunk sits neatly atop the factory luggage rack completing the vehicles refined touring credentials.The interior is equally impressive featuring supple burgundy leather upholstery that provides a stunning compliment to the exterior. The wood-trimmed dashboard is accented with an engine-turned alloy fascia exuding period-correct authenticity and craftsmanship. A full complement of beautifully restored instruments and original switchgear adorns the dashboard. The finely stitched door panels plush carpets and elegant wood trim are all executed to concours standards ensuring that the cabin is both luxurious and inviting. The rumble seat finished in matching leather provides additional seating for occasional passengers making this an ideal choice for spirited driving events or weekend touring.Beneath the long hood lies Cadillacs exceptional 368-cubic-inch L-head V12 engine a technical masterpiece that blends effortless power with uncanny smoothness. The engine bay is beautifully detailed featuring the distinctive ribbed valve covers and signature black porcelain enamel finishes that were hallmarks of Cadillacs multi-cylinder engines.
