1930
??Danske Karrosserie (Denmark)?? This
special, custom semi-enclosed limousine
is built on the 1930 Cadillac V-8 chassis; it was delivered to the royal Danish court in
1930 (?) by F. Bülow & Co, ApS and is believed to be the work of the named Danish
coach-builder. The roof was especially raised to enable the then King of Denmark,
Christian X, to wear a top hat inside the car.

Fleetwood (???) (USA) special V8 fixed-top
(???) Victoria with large, rear-mounted trunk, side mounted spares, wheel discs,
decorative (???) landau bars; light-colored paint job with broad, dark-colored belt
molding, flat windshield, sun-visor [have poor photo from ZTV collection
taken at unidentified Salon showing]
Fleetwood (USA) Proposed style #4161 town
limousine with division, on V8 chassis; it is not known if any were built on that chassis;
however, a single unit was effectively built on the V16 chassis
Fleetwood (USA) Proposed style #4164 town
brougham on V8 chassis, with boot-toe or half-coach sill; it is not known if any were
built on that chassis; however, six units were effectively built on the V16 chassis, three
of which had French cane applied to the lower rear body; these were given Fleetwood style
#4264B
Fleetwood (USA) I am guessing that this
car is Fleetwood landaulet style #3920-C. No production figure is currently available but
I imagine it is very rare.

Stretched all-weather, drop-head convertible town car landaulet. I believe this rare car
is one that was impounded by the German occupationary forces in Paris, during WW2, then taken as war loot from Paris to Berlin in the forties and ultimately
finding its way back to the USA, long after
hostilities in Europe had ended. Information about it and photos were supplied kindly by
my friend and photographer, the late Gene Babow. I will need to go through all my files to
find it. I believe it has been owned since the eighties by well-known collector Russ Head.
According to my friend, Peter Ratcliff, from Melbourne, Australia, the car
is currently in the collection of Phil Maloof, in Las Vegas.

Kellner (France) This car is
the 195th engine/chassis combination built by Cadillac in 1930 [Series "353",
VIN #500195] and dressed with French coachwork by Georges Kellner & Sons, Paris. It is
a Special Cadillac 3-position double cabriolet it may be either a closed car, a
town car, a town landaulet or an open touring car. It was built for Edmond Rothschild, a
wealthy Parisian banker and wine grower in the S.W. of France. Classic car
collector-vendor James C. Leake of Tulsa, OK, bought the car in 1970; he said it had spent
most of its life in the vineyards of Château Rothschild. He had a friend in the
wine business who happened to visit the vineyards in the late sixties and who was able to
negotiate the sale. The car was in good, original condition in 1970, with about 30K miles
on the odometer. Mr. Leake said of the car in 1977 "It is not a landaulet; it is
what I call a double cabriolet, that is a closed car, a Sedanca de Ville as well as an
open tourer". I got to see the car in Tulsa, OK, in 1978, when Mr. Leake
was restoring it. The Kellner car subsequently was exhibited in his private museum
collection; it was shown there with Paris license tags #151UH75, from the late sixties, I
believe (the original tags, from 1930-31, would have had the letters "RE" or
"RF"). I saw the car later (1996) in the Imperial
Palace Museum collection where it had been since 1985; I believe it was still
there in 1999. A friend of mine, the late Gene Babow, sent me photos of the
car which he had taken in Vegas; at that time the car had the same wheel covers as appear
to be currently [2001] on the car. Kruse offered the car for sale at auction
in 1998, in Las Vegas [lot #173]; it sold there, in condition #3, for a reported
$76,000. The catalog said it was the only Kellner-bodied Cadillac known to exist (a
similar car was built on the V-16 chassis but the latter is not known to have survived).
Late Extra [June, 2001]: the Kellner
V-8 double cabriolet is now in a private collection, the Chicago Vintage
Motor Carriage.

he is a keen auto buff and I am sure he would love to have this car join his eclectic
collection, in the Chateau de Pregny!

This car was shown
by Ms. Jacqueline
Francelle at the Bagatelle
and La Cascade [Bois de Boulogne] concours d'élégance on 9 and 24 June,
1932. Below are some rather poor digital images from France's business monthly La
Carrosserie, and an original designer's drawing of this car, signed by the master
himself, Jacques Saoutchik. He built also a couple of custom bodies
on the 1930-31 Cadillac V16 chassis; these may be viewed in the V16 section of the
database, under the appropriate year.

Van den Plas (Belgium and UK) a
special Cadillac "Saloon Landaulette De Luxe", mounted on the V16
chassis; this car was painted powder blue with black roof and fenders; styling features
included slender vertical windshield posts, a flat windshield, opening rear roof section
behind the rear seat passengers, doors reaching down to partly cover the frame rails and
"suicide" rear doors; the descriptive text states "As supplied to The
Hon. A.E. Guinness" (I assume he was the head of the Guinness family of beer
fame). This car still survives and was last seen in the collection of James C.
Leake, Tulsa, OK in the seventies; it was first shown at London's Earl's Court in 1930
together with a regular Fleetwood "Madame X" style 4175.

this car was done in red with a black roof, frame rails and fenders; the artist's drawing

omitted only in the drawing? If that is the case, then the car is simply a regular
V-12 limousine for 7 passengers.
Fleetwood (USA) special
V12 roadster, Indianapolis 500 pace car. Willard Rader was the first Cadillac test
pilot to exceed the 100 mph barrier; this was in 1916. He drove a 1931 Cadillac V-12 as
the official pace car of that year's "Sweepstakes Classic" on Memorial Day). The
car was white with silver leaf striping; it had chrome wheels, spokes, hubs and fender
bead; the upholstery was white leather. This was a slightly lowered stock model.

over a period of five years by Gaines Adcock of Jan Jose, CA in 1972

Lancefield (U.K.) a special Cadillac Town
Cabriolet De Luxe (a 5-pass. town car with forward facing opera seats), mounted on
the V12 chassis; it was done in bright yellow with black being used for the roof, quarter
panels and cycle fenders (the car had no running boards but had steps that were made to
open with the doors); at least two units are reported to have been built: one was
delivered to Captain F.W. Hartman (CEO of Lendrum & Hartman, GM's British outlet in
England), the other to a Major E. Howard; I believe that one of these was two cars was
mounted on the V16 chassis [portfolio seen in the ZTV collection,
Washington]. Although the hood door vents are mounted on a raised panel reminiscent of the
V16 hood, the illustrated car is in fact mounted on the V12 chassis. The artist's drawing
resembles a V16 "sports saloon" built that year by the London branch of
Belgium's Carrosserie Van den Plas (see also section on custom
cars built on the Vee-sixteen chassis), except that both doors are hinged at
the center post ("B" pillar). The body is cream-colored with what appears to be
a black leather roof covering and a narrow, horizontal belt molding running around the
car. The doors extend down over the frame rails and are shaped in a graceful curve (coach
sill). The front door is hinged at the forward, "A" pillar and the rear one at
the "C" post ["suicide" rear doors]. Six wire wheels (side-mounted
spares) are shown as standard fixtures. The text reads as follows: "This body is
fitted with de Ville extension [removable curtain over the driving area] but it is
otherwise designed as a Town Cabriolet with Fixed Head. (...) No running boards are
fitted, steps being made to open with the doors. A distinguishing feature is the special
type of wings fitted. Seating accommodation - The back seat is designed for two but can
accommodate a third and two occasional seats are fitted, facing forward. The driving seat
is very roomy and is designed specially for the comfort of the owner-driver. Colour scheme
optional, and a choice of the very finest cloths and soft leathers. As supplied to Captain
F.W. Hartman and Major E. Howard".. This description tends to confirm that two
units were effectively built, although I have seen no photographic evidence to
substantiate the second unit [designer's drawing, below]. Late extra [June, 2004]: I got a telephone
call from the grandson of this car's first owner, a wealthy Pakistani gentleman; the car
survives in Pakistan and we shall certainly be hearing more about it

Mulliner, H.J. & Co., Ltd.,
(U.K.) a special Cadillac Four Seater Semi-Sports Saloon (a close-coupled sedan,
or town sedan with a fitted trunk in body colors), mounted on the V12 chassis; engine
hood, roof, quarter panels and trunk lid were cream colored, the body medium blue and the
fenders black; the design featured the V16 hood with the vent doors mounted on a raised
panel; it had fender mounted spares and all wheels sported full wheel discs decorated with
concentric rings; the front doors opened forward (hinged at the "A" post) and
the rear ones were of the "suicide" type (hinged at the "C" post); the
Cadillac "coach sill" was used, as were the standard 1928-1930 Cadillac-type
two-bar bumpers; a large, separate trunk reminiscent of the trunk feature on the standard
Cadillac town sedan and close-coupled sedan styles was mounted at the rear, the lid
closing level with the belt line and being the same color as the upper body. The rear seat
was mounted directly over the rear axle. It was described thus: The Body is built on
the panelled Weymann principle designed to give the minimum of weight and absolute
silence. It is primarily designed for four people and for fast touring. Two small
occasional seats can be fitted, although this is not recommended, except for very
occasional use. The body is built on the low side and is of the very finest finish
throughout. Colour scheme optional, and a choice of the very finest cloths and soft
leathers. I have seen no photographic evidence to suggest that this car was ever
built.

Fleetwood (USA)
Custom formal limousine-landaulet on V12 chassis. Position of lower extremities of landau
bars (below the belt line) suggests that this car had a functional landau roof. It
has also custom wheel discs; these became popular in 1933 as they avoided the difficult
chore of cleaning wire-spoke wheels. Photos appear to have been taken atop the GM building
in downtown Detroit, in 1932.

Custom convertible Victoria on V12 chassis (possible a modified town coupe).
Fleetwood style #5085
Kellner & Gygax (Biel/Bienne,
Switzerland) convertible Victoria on V16 chassis. The artist's view, below, was
supplied kindly by Harry Wohlgroth, a Swiss friend. Harry found the illustration in the
annual Swiss Automobil Revue for 1932. As no bare chassis were shipped to
independent coach builders in 1932, this body may have been built in 1932 on the 1930-31
chassis (it is possibly also a conversion on one of the six European Tour cars). Any
complementary information or photos of this Swiss creation would be greatly appreciated.
[Unknown, USA] (USA), special
custom Victoria, convertible for five passengers; from the narrow diameter wire wheels and
the wide sidemounts this car may well be fitted with a modern drive train. It could well
be made by "Peerless" [USA] in 1985. That company made a replica of a 1932
Cadillac Victoria [color photo, below], mounted on a 1977 Ford Chassis, powered by a Ford
351 Modified Engine 400 CI..etc. N.B. If 10 or more CLC members write to say this
"replica" has no place in the club's Cadillac Database, I shall gladly remove
it.
