CADILLAC STORY: In the mid 1920's, Cadillac wanted to compete with Lincoln, Duesenberg and Auburn for luxury automobiles by acquiring a custom body building manufacturer so, they bought Fleetwood. By 1928 they acquired/owned 100% of Fisher Body. Fleetwood was assigned the task of building their "custom bodies" and they were able to satisfy several different kinds of customers by varying designs above the belt line on basic body shells. Fisher body was now in charge of the rest of production. The longer 140 inch wheel base (as on this vehicle) was made so Cadillac could offer longer, lower slung body styles. The V12 engine that had the reputation of running smooth and quiet.  Improvements like a side mounted starter, oil filter, and oil level indicator may sound like standard equipment today but, it was big news in this era. The giant drum brakes increased from 16" to 17" and the hydraulic shock absorbers and low slung (huge) rear springs gave the "Cadillac-Ride" we are now all too familiar with. Due to the depression only 1709 of these fabulous V12 cars were produced  and sold in 1932, making the 1932 V12 Cadillac one of the rarest of years for the collector!
