Beschreibung
In the late Twenties and early Thirties the automotive race in the USA for bigger, better and faster was in full swing and manufacturers resorted to ever larger engines with a number of manufacturers introducing 12 and even 16 cylinder engines. Only few people could afford such extravagance and the 12 cylinder Cadillac we have on offer is a very rare sight indeed. It was delivered as a Convertible Coupé with dickie seat in Switzerland in May 1932. Amazingly the original registration document (carte grise) still exists! After an eventful life and used as a promotional vehicle in the recent past, the chassis, coachwork and interior were restored in 1991. A photographic record of the restoration is available. The last owner purchased the Cadillac in 1995 and in 1999 commissioned a full engine overhaul, well documented as well, of course. This imposing and beautiful Convertible is in very good condition and the most recent Swiss veteran MOT was performed in July 2015.
