This 1939 Cadillac V16 Fleetwood Convertible Sedan left the factory as a Series 75 Convertible Sedan. Since the Series 75 and Series 90 shared the same basic chassis and bodies, a conversion was possible. During the early 1990s, this car was transformed into a Series 90 by removing the V8 engine and replacing it with a V16 unit. The front sheet metal was used from a 1939 Series 90 V16 Touring Sedan.
It is painted in a maroon color and has a tan canvas top. The interior is matching leather, and magenta carpet is fitted to the lining of the trunk and the floor. There are optional dual side-mount spare tires with the one-piece smooth steel covers, first introduced on the 1938 models.
In 2008 it was brought to the Automobiles of Amelia presented by RM Auctions where it was estimated to sell for $200,000-$250,000. The selling price fell just short of the estimate but the reserve was dropped and the car was sold. It found a new owner for the price of $170,500 including the buyer's premium.By Daniel Vaughan | Apr 2008
