1931 Cadillac Series 370-A Twelve Navigation
The Cadillac 370 model was introduced in October of 1930 and was equipped with a new 12-cylinder engine. Cadillac had recently introduced the legendary V-16 model and this example was positioned above the company's tried-and-true V8 model and below the range-topping V16. Most examples received production bodies and this particular Model 370-A wears body number 201 with body style number 4735 - a rumble seat Convertible Coupe by Fleetwood.
The car was delivered new to Los Angeles Cadillac dealer Don Lee in March of 1931 wearing black exterior paint with ivory trim and Burbank cloth for the convertible top. In the late 1950s or early 1960s, it was purchased by William Gottwald and continues to wear the California black license plates issued in 1963.
The car is currently in unrestored condition with top irons and seat frames still in place. It retains its front and rear bumpers, six wire wheels, running boards, metal side-mount spare tire covers, and a trunk rack.
Only nine examples of these Convertible Coupes are known to exist.
This car is equipped with a 368 cubic-inch, overhead-valve V12 engine delivering 135 horsepower at 3,400 RPM. There is a three-speed manual gearbox, four-wheel mechanical drum brakes, and a front beam axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs. In the back is a live axle with semi-elliptical leaf springs.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2021
