Despite the ongoing depression in 1933, Cadillac announced that it would build a series of 400 V16 cars. In actuality, only 125 were produced. Each V16 had a name plate mounted on the dash honoring the owner. This Convertible Victoria, bodied by Fleetwood, was one of only two produced at a cost of $7,500 each. It rides on a 146-inch wheelbase. The engine displaces 452 cubic-inches, with sixteen cylinders. Interior details include burled walnut panels and pigskin leather upholstery. The original owner of this spectacular automobile was Hill Blackett of Chicago, owner of an advertising agency.Also photographed at :
