Auto Car | 1932 Cadillac Series 370-B | In the mid 1920's, Cadillac wanted to compete with Lincoln, Duesenberg and Auburn for luxury automobiles by acquiring a custom body building manufacturer so, they bought Fleetwood. By 1928 they acquired/owned 100% of Fisher Body. Fleetwood was assigned the task of building their "custom bodies" and they were able to satisfy several different kinds of customers by varying designs above the belt line on basic body shells. Fisher body was now in charge of the rest of production. The longer 140 inch wheel base (as on this vehicle) was made so Cadillac could offer longer, lower slung body styles. The V12 engine that had the reputation of running smooth and quiet. Improvements like a side mounted starter, oil filter, and oil level indicator may sound like standard equipment today but, it was big news in this era. The giant drum brakes increased from 16" to 17" and the hydraulic shock absorbers and low slung (huge) rear springs gave the "Cadillac-Ride" we are now all too familiar with. Due to the depression only 1709 of these fabulous V12 cars were produced and sold in 1932, making the 1932 V12 Cadillac one of the rarest of years for the collector!

Meticulously restored to perfection by previous owner, a Doctor who lived in California, and comes from his collection purchased from his estate.

The carburetors for the 1932 Cadillac V-12 engine were now supplied by Detroit Lubricator, and were supplied with fuel by a positive displacement pump rather than a vacuum tank. To protect the engine, a self-cleaning oil filter actuated by the vacuum boosted clutch pedal was added. Improvements to the braking included a vacuum booster, a system that became even more necessary as the coachwork became more elaborate and heavier. Two-position driver selectable shock absorber settings were now standard.
Changes to the coachwork were minor for 1932. The roof heights were lowered slighter giving it a more modern appearance. The headlights were free-standing without a tie bar, and the fenders and running boards flowed from one element to the other. The radiator was entirely enclosed in a grille shell.

The car is painted in onyx black and there are dual sidemounted spares in hard covers with rear view mirrors. There are body color wire wheels with chrome trim rings, wide white wall tires, and a luggage rack with dual blue dot taillights. There is dual cream and tan coach-lines.
