1929 Cadillac Series 341B Eight Fisher Body Phaeton

The 1929 Cadillac received minor updates including having the parking lamps relocated from the cowl to the tops of the fenders. Changes under the skin were also limited, with one of the more important modifications being a new Synchromesh Silent-Shift transmission, negating the need for double-clutching while also enabling much smoother gear selection. They had new mechanical four-wheel brakes which were easier to operate compared to the earlier models. Safety was improved with new shatterproof Security Plate glass which became standard in all windows. The suspension system consisted of new double-acting Delco shock absorbers and the interior received upholstered fully adjustable seats as standard equipment. Under the bonnet, the 341 cubic-inch Cadillac V8 engine offered 90 horsepower.

This particular Sport Phaeton rests on a 140-inch wheelbase and was delivered new to Boston, Massachusetts, on 12 April 1929. It has resided in the current owner's care for a long time. It has been restored and finished in dark tan and cream with tan upholstery.
