In an attempt to create demand through exclusivity, Cadillac announced it would build only 400 V16 automobiles for 1933. In fact, only 126 examples were built, of which 8 were Fleetwood convertible sedans. Three of the convertible sedans still exist, including the famous Al Jolson car at the National Automobile Museum in Reno. This car was built for Montgomery Ward of Chicago at a cost of $8,000 - twice the cost of the comparable Fleetwood V8 all-weather phaeton. The unique body style, 5579-A, includes a built-in trunk, and other detail differences. Its ownership has included Bill Pettit, Jim Groendyke and Roy Warshawsky who had it restored by Fran Roxas. In 1990 it won First in Class at Pebble Beach and 100 points in CCCA judging.
