| This
grand 5 passenger convertible sedan was the most expensive
in the 1933 line up. When the top is folded down there is
a second windshield and windwings to protect the passengers
in the rear. Art deco styling is clear here, spoke wheels
were out of fashion so they are covered. The stainless strips
on the body sides are “sweated” or soldered.
A perfect example of the custom body era features. This
car has spare tire covers, 5 settings for ride control on
the fly, power brakes, anti theft ignition, linkage driven
driving lights and rear trunk. Only 125 V16 engines produced
this year. This car is well known to the high end side of
the classic car hobby. Wheelbase of 150”. |

| Designed
for GM’s traveling motorama show in 1955 this was
Cadillac’s dream car. These were hand assembled on
a separate production line at Clark Ave in Detroit. The
1957 and 1958 models were basically the same cars. 400 produced
in 57 and 304 in 1958. Because of the 1958 recession and
$13,070 price tag, production was low so each unit ended
up costing GM $23,000 to produce. No car company came close
to GM for technology and innovation. Compare these features
to any other car of the time. Brougham Features- 45 interior
trim and colour options – 15 exterior colours. Brushed
stainless steel roof. Inside the glove box and rear seat
compartment you’ll find ladies compact, magnetized
drinking cups, cigarette case, lipstick holder, mirror,
note pad, and perfume atomizer of Arpege. 365 cu. in., 3
two barrel carbs and an astounding 335 H.P. Four speed automatic,
full flow oil filter – new to the industry. Air ride
suspension, auto leveling, anti-dive feature for hard braking,
auto headlight dimming, auto start feature. Electric fuel
pump, memory power seats, suicide doors. Power trunk opener
– power trunk closer. Full gauge package & warning
lights for each. When rear doors are ajar – selector
won’t shift to drive. Two rear under seat heaters
with individual switches for blowers. Industy’s first
quad headlamps, industry’s first all transistor radio,
industry’s first standard air conditioning, industry’s
first year round AC to use only fresh air. This car was
owned by BOB HOPE – from 1958-1984 and was on display
on a turntable in an office building lobby in San Diego. |
