A 1937, 452 Cubic-inch, V-16




Walking through tiny Goshen, NY, I saw this down an alley (first two pictures).  

Whiskey-Tango-Foxtrot.  

It’s a 1937 Cadillac Series 90 Fleetwood Seven Passenger Imperial Cabriolet, one of only 50 made.  Class winner at Pebble Beach in 2016.

1937 was the first year for hydraulic brakes and the last year for the 452 cubic-inch V16 overhead-valve engine and the 154-inch wheelbase, the longest ever for an American car.

My family car growing up was a 1937 Bentley (below).
