A Note From the Seller:
The early 1930s are considered by many the apogee of Cadillacs from the Classic Era. The Standard of the World was hardly an understatement among luxury marques with offerings of 134-, 140- and 143-inch wheelbases; bodies by Fisher and Fleetwood; three different engine configurations; and the more moderately priced LaSalle as part of its lineup. This was the beginning of a trend that eventually led to Cadillac's domination of the luxury car field. While the flagship V-12 and V-16 gathered all the fanfare, the V-8-powered models sold in steady numbers, helping Cadillac's bottom line during difficult economic times. Nineteen thirty-two models continued the trend with softer, more rounded body lines, slightly smaller dimensions, and a stronger family resemblance.
Cadillac records note that this Cadillac was delivered to the renowned Don Lee Cadillac, San Francisco, California, on 8 December 1931. With a base price of $2,895, this was the most prolific of Cadillac's models of the Series 355s, which were produced from 1931-1935. According to the consignor, this five-passenger sedan retains its original sheet metal.
