1930 Cadillac V16 Series 452 cubic inch V16 All weather Phaeton
1930 Cadillac V-16 Series 452 All-Weather Phaeton with Coachwork by Fleetwood Cadillac astonished the world's automotive elite when it introduced a spectacular new ultra-luxury car, powered by an amazing 16-cylinder engine, at the 1930 New York Show. This new super-sized Cadillac would set a new benchmark for silent and superbly impressive performance. The 452 cubic inch V16 made an astounding 175 horsepower in combination with smoothness and refinement. It is widely believed that GM lost money on every V16 they built through 1940. The extravagant V16 was an immediate sensation and production began with strong demand, even on the verge of the Great Depression. Fifty-four semi-custom body styles were offered by Fleetwood to the prospective buyer, ranging from sporty roadsters and phaetons to formal limousines and town cars.
