The new Cadillacs for 1931 introduced some of the most beautiful styling of the Classic Era and incorporated the ideas of Harley Earl’s new Art & Color Section. Now available in V-8, V-12 and V-16 engine and chassis configurations, choices for luxury transportation were almost endless. This 1931 Cadillac 370A V-12 Fleetwood 4780 All Weather Phaeton from the Academy of Art University Collection is one of 169 built and is one of the most spectacular of the 1931 Cadillac open cars. Although Fleetwood referred to this body as an All Weather Phaeton, it would be considered a convertible sedan by other body builders, and it has roll-down glass windows with chrome frames that fit snugly into the folding tan canvas top. This Fleetwood All Weather Phaeton was treated to a no-expense-spared body-off restoration completed in 2005 and was previously part of the Charlie Thomas and William Munday collections. The chassis is the shorter 140-inch wheelbase, and the Cadillac is powered by a 368 CI 45-degree OHV V-12 engine developing 135 HP at 3,400 RPM. Power is transmitted to the rear wheels by a 3-speed synchromesh transmission and a bevel gear rear axle. This Cadillac has 18-inch wheels with stainless spokes and green painted hubs and rims mounted with wide whitewall tires. Stopping is provided by vacuum-assisted mechanical drum brakes on all four wheels. Suspension consists of front and rear parallel semi-elliptic leaf springs with hydraulic shock absorbers and a beam front axle. Accessory dual chrome-plated steerable Pilot-Ray lights brighten up the front end and the road ahead. The Fleetwood body is finished in striking light yellow with green fenders and green body moldings. It is equipped with optional dual side-mount spares with dual chrome-plated mirrors and a folding rear luggage rack with accessory trunk. The interior is finished in unusual, tan ostrich hide with matching tan carpet front and rear. This Cadillac is a CCCA Full Classic and would be a hit at any Classic Car Club or Cadillac & LaSalle Club show, tour or event, as well as the star of any classic car collection.
