1929 Cadillac 341B Fisher Body Sport Phaeton Vehicle Profile

Fisher Body Sport Phaeton
Coachwork: Fisher
Engine # 329230

The 1929 Cadillacs were among the first examples of the prestigious marque to feature styling developed under the direction of Harley Earl, who founded the pioneering General Motors Art & Colour design section in mid-1927.

New features found on all 1929 Cadillac's included chrome plating and security-plate safety glass. The '29s were the first cars in the industry to have 'Synchro-Mesh,' which eliminated the need to double-clutch when shifting gears. An L-head V8 engine with a 341 cubic-inch displacement was standard. It made 95 horsepower with the optional high-compression heads found on this example.

The 1929 341B Cadillac Sport Phaeton sat on a 140-inch wheelbase, weighed 5,160 pounds and listed for $3,950. The Fisher-bodied Sport Phaeton was distinguished from other (less expensive) open Cadillac's by its flip-up tonneau cowl, which carried a folding windshield for the comfort of the rear-seat passengers.

One of the prettiest body styles available on the Cadillac chassis - and there were many - was the dual cowl phaeton, as seen here. The rear passengers had their own fold-down cowl and a windshield.

The year 1929 represented several 'firsts' for Cadillac including safety glass and a synchro-mesh transmission. The engine was Cadillac's venerable 341 cubic-inch V8 that developed 90 horsepower. A transmission-mounted air compressor was standard equipment.

With body by General Motors' Fisher Body division, this Cadillac cost $3,950 new - plus the accessories seen here: running board spotlight and lap robe.

This well-documented Sport Phaeton was purchased new for a Christmas delivery to a family residing on 5th Avenue in New York City. It was equipped with many factory options, including six 'Buffalo' wire wheels, which cost $250 and included dual front fenderwells to carry the two spare wheels and tires. The unusual stanchion-mounted spot-light was also an option. The Sport Phaeton passed through several Texas collections before the present owners acquired it. A thorough professional upgrade of the restoration was recently completed.
