1939 Cadillac V-16 Convertible Coupe by Fleetwood
Cadillac V-16 buyers tended to possess rather individual and unique tastes and customized their cars to suit. One wonders of the original owner of this convertible coupe, one of seven built in 1939 and three known survivors. The original build sheet notes the car to be finished in Maidenhead Gray with Tangerine Orange wheels, and grey Bedford Cord upholstery, the latter an unusual choice for a convertible. Other options requested included dual spotlights, a heater, both running board and cowl-mounted radio aerials, and a rather complex system of courtesy lights inside the front and rear quarters, the lights for each side operating only when that corresponding door was opened.
