Cadillac introduced its new and luxurious V-16 automobile at the 1930 New York Salon in response to the Duesenberg Model J that had amazed the world when introduced in late 1928. The V-16 had an equally impressive performance, displacing 452 cubic inches and producing 185 horsepower. Only 85 Fleetwood sport phaetons were produced on the V-16 chassis. This example is fitted with dual cowl coachwork; the cowl for the rear-seat passengers is mounted directly to the rear of the front seat and is raised and lowered by turning a small crank. This gives the car its distinctive low line. The body is sometimes referred to as a four-passenger roadster.
