The Cadillac 370 B V12 ranks among the finest achievements in American automotive history. Introduced in 1931 as a prestigious alternative between the Cadillac V8 and the legendary V16, the V12 combined an exceptionally refined twelve-cylinder engine with outstanding comfort, performance and craftsmanship. Thanks to its elegant Fisher coachwork and remarkable engineering, the Cadillac V12 became one of the most desirable luxury automobiles of the Classic Era.

This 1932 example is fitted with the exceptionally rare Fisher Special Phaeton coachwork, of which only 13 examples were produced for the 1932 model year. As such, it represents one of the rarest and most desirable variants within the Cadillac V12 range. The elegant green and black colour combination, complemented by a brown leather interior and matching brown convertible top, perfectly enhances the graceful lines of the Fisher body. Its long bonnet, sweeping fenders, dual side-mounted spare wheels and finely crafted details embody the grandeur of America's finest luxury automobiles of the early 1930s. Powered by its exceptionally smooth 5.8-litre V12 engine, this Cadillac still delivers one of the most refined pre-war driving experiences available today. Having remained in long-term ownership for many years, this remarkable automobile is now ready for its next custodian. The accompanying FIVA Identity Card further confirms its historical authenticity and international heritage.
