1926 Cadillac Series 314 Brougham

The 1926 Cadillac was promoted as 'The New 90-Degree Cadillac.' From 1926 forward referred to its new models simply as 'The New Cadillac.' The Series 314 designation was used chiefly by the sales and mechanical departments (314 referred to the displacement of the car's motor).

This example has been formally identified as a 'coach,' but in 1926 Cadillac adopted the name 'brougham.' It was basically a two-door automobile with a back seat, albeit a sport version.

Additional features of the new V-8 motor were crankcase ventilation and an oil filter. And the combination starter/generator that had been used for many years was replaced by separate units in 1926.

This automobile was purchased new in Chicago, then spent much of its life in Arizona and Michigan car collections before being acquired by the current owners.
