The 1936 Series 36-85 Cadillacs were basically the Fleetwood V8 body style with the larger 12-cylinder engine. Performance, however, was increased materially over the older V12s. During this period, Cadillac produced V8, V12 and V16 models. The better performance of the V12 made this model quite popular. With a custom body by Fleetwood, the wheelbase was a rather long 138 inches, and the V12 now produced over 150 horsepower. In 1936 Cadillac produced 901 V12-powered automobiles.
These cars were heavy as this model came in at slightly over 5,000 pounds. The base price was $3,495. Options, by today's standards, were cheap - heater at $18.50, radio at $544.40 or flexible steering wheel for $16.60.
This car was shipped to San Antonio, Texas on February 5th, 1936. Some of the features ordered on this 7-passenger Sedan include a seating arrangement with two forward-facing auxiliary seats, comfortably upholstered with Marshall springs and double throw backs that fold flush into the back of the front seats when not in use. The car has two interior sun visors adjustable to two positions, a folding center armrest in the rear seat back, and much more.
The 1936 Cadillac featured a V-shaped windshield complimented by a narrower radiator shell supporting the new louver style 'Convex vee' grille.
