1931 Cadillac Series 370-A Twelve Fisher Sedan

  • Coachwork by Fleetwood
  • Designed by Harley Earl
  • Chassis Number: 103536
  • Engine Number: 1003203
  • Body Number: 861
  • Registration Number: Job no. 31159
The Cadillac V-12 and V-16 shared the same stroke size but the bore was larger on the sixteen-cylinder engine. In many respects, the V12 and the V16 were the same. The V-12 had 30 less horsepower than its siblings and was priced roughly $2,500 lower.

This 1931 Cadillac V-12 Five-Passenger Sedan was ordered through Don Lee, Inc., the Los Angeles dealership, on February 28, 1931, for delivery no later than April 1st. The car came with six wire wheels, fender-mounted spares, and the Goddess radiator ornament. The early history is not known; in 1984 it was acquired by its current owner. The car has been given a partial restoration. All mechanical components were completely disassembled and restored to factory specifications. It was finished in a green-gray color scheme and the upholstery is gray broadcloth. The car has a correct 'high boy' trunk, and Trippe driving lights, fitted luggage, and a period-correct matching lap robe were added. It has a jack and special hubcap removal tool, a Cadillac logo door hinge mirror on the driver's side, and a set of tools.

This Cadillac was awarded Best of Show honors at the Forest Grove Concours d'Elegance in Oregon following the completion of the restoration in 1995. The next year it scored 100 points at the Classic Car Club of America Pacific Northwest Grand Classic, receiving Senior medallion 1658. It was awarded 2nd place in the Closed Classic class at Pebble Beach in 1999.
