1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16

$129,000.00

This highly sought-after 1938 Cadillac V16 Town Car is just out of a large collection and an original model that's been well maintained and runs great. Black with black leather front and beige cloth rear interior. An extremely special and collectible car. Cadillac's V16 engine was designed to be silent and smooth, suiting the '30s luxury car buyer. In 1937, Cadillac wanted to come out with a new super engine that would outshine the roughness of the popular V8s. Only 514 of these V16 engines were produced with a very few fitted into the limousine chassis. With twelve styles offered in this series, and only 315 automobiles produced in 1938, this town car is reputedly one of only eleven produced.

 

This rare and stylish Cadillac Town Car was purchased by a California film studio and was supposedly used by Hollywood luminary and producer, Darryl F. Zanuck. An American film producer and studio executive, he earlier contributed stories for films starting in the silent era. Best known as a co-founder of 20th Century Fox, he also produced three films that won the Academy Award for Best Picture.

 

The series 38-90 was essentially a series 75 with a V16 engine. The V16s were recognizably different from their predecessor V8s because of the slanted eggcrate grille, fender lamps, louvers on the hood and full fender skirts. The L-head, short-stroke, V16 engine was cast enbloc - essentially a twin-eight with dual accessories including carburetors, air cleaners, manifolds, distributors, coils, fuel pumps and water pumps. Naturally the Town Car is highly eligible for Classic Car Club caravan events.
