| The
idea behind the V-16 was to make a car that was
more powerful and smoother riding than anything
in production. After many years of secret planning
between Harley Earl and Lawrence Fisher, the V-16
was introduced in 1930, just a few months after
the stock market crash that led to the Great Depression.
It was the most expensive Cadillac ever made. The
V-16 went through several changes in the 10 years
it was made from 1930 until 1940. It was sold as
3 different models: Series 452, Series 60, Series
90. By the end of its run, the engine in this car
was producing 200 horsepower. Finding one of these
cars is very rare today, even at collector car shows.
They do pop up on eBay every once in a while, with
a typical sale price being well into six figures
for rarer models (1930) and convertibles, while
more common models like the 1938 might only sell
for $75,000. |
