1938 Cadillac Series 90 Navigation
This one-off special-bodied V-16 limousine was created by GM Styling for the personal use of GM executive William Knudsen, then President of the Cadillac Division of General Motors. It shows styling cues from the new 60 Special model but is a unique fastback sedan style without side mounts and is especially clean of line. Very few late V-16s were custom-built. Production of V-16s continued virtually unchanged for two more years with 136 cars built during 1939 and just 61 in the final model year of 1940.
