1932 Cadillac Series 355-B Dual Cowl Phaeton
115bhp 353 cu. in. V8 engine, three-speed synchromesh transmission, leaf-spring front suspension, torque tube rear axle and four-wheel vacuum-assisted mechanical drum brakes. Wheelbase: 140"
The example offered here is a very unique Cadillac in that it is an especially rare V8 Dual Cowl Phaeton and is remarkably original remaining in completely unrestored overall condition. The elegant Fisher body is mounted on the desirable 140 inch wheelbase allowing the car’s proportions to truly stand out when viewed from any angle. Discovered in New England by the legendary McGowan Brothers, it was sold to notable car collector Jim King of Berkley, Massachusetts. The Cadillac’s most recent owner is a prominent prewar East coast collector known for his keen eye and knowledge of Cadillacs and American classics.
Without question, this is a time warp example and though it shows its age throughout it and is in admirable mechanical condition. The original black paintwork is matched by a black interior. With the exception of a incorrectly refinished vinyl front seat the rest of the interior is all original as is the tonneau cover, side curtains and convertible top. The car is equipped with dual side mount spares with original covers, a luggage rack and the goddess hood ornament. An exceptionally rare Cadillac factory optional driver’s side spotlight makes this car even more unique and is something almost never seen. Currently, the Cadillac shows less than 32,000 miles, which upon inspection appears to be correct from new. The dashboard also appears to retain all of its original gauges.
Due to the Cadillac’s overall original appearance some conservation will undoubtedly be required to either carefully keep this car in its present condition, although the option always exists to persue a concours restoration. This Dual Cowl Phaeton represents a piece of automotive history beautifully frozen in time as nothing will replace the feel and patina of this example’s low mileage, amazingly original condition.
