Car Collection

In 1914 Cadillac became the first major car maker in the world to adopt the V8 as its standard power unit.  It subsequently offered both V12s and V16s but the V8 always remained its most popular engine.

An improved 341 cu inch version was introduced in 1928 and is fitted in this car.  It has been described as “one of the great eights of the golden age.”

These 1929 cars, built just before the stock market crash and Great Depression of the 1930s, were regarded as the high point of Cadillac luxury.
