1933 Cadillac Series 452-C Sixteen Fleetwood Limousine

Coachwork by Fleetwood

Cadillac's decision to build a sixteen-cylinder car is tied to the desire to build the finest motor car in the world.

Subtle changes were made in 1932 - a longer wheelbase, new carburetors, a mechanical fuel pump, heavier axles, and larger brakes. Changes for 1933 were modest but it is the styling for which the 1933s will forever be known. It is seen as an Art Deco masterpiece.

This car joined the NB Center collection in December 2020. It was found in Maine in a pole building. It was nicely preserved, making this 7-passenger limousine a unique, original survivor. Upon arrival, it received a thorough review - brakes, fuel system, suspension, and all wearable mechanical parts. The plan is to keep the car a completely original car suitable for driving, as it was in 1933.
