Vehicle Description
1938 Cadillac Series 90 V-16 Convertible CoupeVIN: 5270289
This grand Cadillac was ordered new through the Scotts Smith Cadillac Company in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. According to the original General Motors build sheet, this car was originally fitted with an Imperial Limousine body. Acquired in 1952 by Mr. James Kiser of Wisconsin, he and his family would keep the car for over half a century. Retaining its original engine and transmission—as well as its optional radio and aerial specified on the build sheet—the Limousine body was removed and an exacting restoration was done with a Convertible Coupe body from a Series 75. Virtually identical to the Series 90 body, the Series 75 body was fitted in the 1980s by Russell Jackson and it is understood that the car was subsequently featured in a contemporary issue of the Cadillac Club's magazine The Self Starter detailing the careful work completed to exactingly recreate one of the ten original Series 90 Convertible Sedans. Finished in Italian Cream over red leather, this nicely finished V16 Convertible Coupe is a CCCA® Full Classic and would make an excellent tour and event car. Most recent the car's rich leather interior was redone and shows well. This last of the V16 Cadillacs possesses all of the luxury and refinement associated with its more exalted predecessor yet offers superior roadability. Today this rare model enjoys well deserved classic status.
