1931 CADILLAC 355A CONVERTIBLE

Details

This 1931 Cadillac 355A features Fleetwood's 4535 convertible coupe coachwork and presents well in its two-tone maroon livery. It is well-equipped with accessories, including dual Trippelight driving lamps, radiator stone guard, golf bag door and goddess mascot. Unusually, this car has a single rear-mounted spare wheel instead of side-mounted, which enhances the flowing fenders and gives it a refreshingly clean and uncluttered profile. The paint is well-maintained with a glossy, consistent finish. The painted wire wheels wear chrome center caps and Firestone wide whitewall tires. The chrome and brightwork show well all around. The tan leather trim is in good condition, with matching door panels and rumble seat trimmed in the same leather. A period-correct Jaeger clock and an AC speedometer are set into the original sunburst-motif instrument panel. The tan canvas convertible top fits well and works as it should, fitting snugly against the windscreen. Roll-up glass side windows

provide all-weather protection and allow for touring, rain or shine. It is powered by its original 353/95hp V8 engine correctly presented with a silver crankcase, black-painted heads and plug covers, and good-quality finishing and details, including period-correct clamps and hardware connected to its Synchromesh 3-speed manual transmission. It runs and drives well, and the chassis appears well-sorted and tidy. A CCCA Full Classic.
