1937 Cadillac V-16 Series 37-90 Hartmann Cabriolet
The last year for Cadillac's 452 cubic inch V-16 engine was 1937 with only fifty units built and only of two of those were released to independent coachbuilders.
One of those was sold to a wealthy young playboy, Philippe Barraud, living along the fashionable Swiss Riviera, which stretched between Lausanne and Montreaux on the shores of Lake Geneva. Barraud commissioned Willy Hartmann, a body shop owner in Lausanne, to create a look similiar to a Figoni et Falaschi-designed car on the huge Cadillac chassis.
Basic stock Cadillac components were used on this streamlined hand-formed fantasy, which, with its 22-foot overall length, was one of the largets cabriolets ever built.
