1932 Cadillac 370B V12 Fisher-Sport Phaeton Vehicle Profile

From its earliest days Cadillac's tag line was 'Standard of the World,' and this Sport Phaeton, one of only three survivors of 13 built, exemplifies that mantra. Barrett-Jackson called this particular 12-cylinder car 'one of the finest examples in the world.' The Fisher-bodied eight- and 12-cylinder cars looked nearly the same with only badging differences.

Under the direction of GM's new styling chief, Harley Earl, the new 1932 Cadillac became lower and longer, with curved running boards gracefully integrated into the fenders. It featured rear view mirrors on the dual side mounts, wind wings, side curtains and a top boot. The 12-cylinder engine with a fully synchronized, three-speed transmission and helical gears meant it drove like a dream in its day and the current owner reports 'it drives flawlessly' even today.

This car was the 'Logo Car' for the Thomas Collection of Covena, CA and was used in the Rose Parade. A previous owner bought the car in 2002 and had it extensively restored adding high-speed gears and an electric fuel pump for touring. In 2004 this car won first place at the CCCA Grand Classic, scoring the maximum 100 points.
