1933 Cadillac V-16 All-Weather Phaeton by Fleetwood
Few Cadillacs are rarer than the V-16 of 1933. As with most seasons in this decade, the company had planned to produce 400 examples of their sixteen-cylinder titan. Instead, with the Great Depression continuing to pound sales, the final total was a mere 125. This was despite some of the most visually impressive coachwork of the time, with Cadillac fully adopting streamlining in the form of fully skirted fenders and a long, smooth headline with horizontal louvers, emphasizing the throbbing horsepower beneath.
