1929 Cadillac Series 341B Eight Fisher Body Convertible Coupe

This Cadillac Series 341B has a history that has been lost to the ages. According to its build tag located on the firewall, it left the factory with a Fisher-bodied 4-door sedan. Somewhere during its lifespan, it was given a Victoria Convertible coachwork. The body carries Fleetwood badges although there is no listing for this body style in the Fleetwood catalog. The design and lines of the body appear to follow the styling seen in Waterhouse designs.

This car is finished in butterscotch tan with black leather seats and a fully functional tan soft top. The chassis is an original 1929 Cadillac with original-style fenders, headlights, hood, and radiator shell. It rides on a set of wooden spoke wheels and wide-whitewall tires.

Powering this vehicle is a 1960's era Buick 'Nailhead' 401 CID V8 engine by Buick. The engine is mated to an automatic transmission that appears to be controlled with a column shift that appears to be a 1960s era Dodge. The heater and vintage 8-track tape player both operate from the 12-volt alternator-based charging system.
