1933 Cadillac V8

This 1933 Cadillac Series 355C is a Fisher-bodied convertible coupe powered by a replacement 353ci L-head V8 paired with a three-speed manual transmission. The current owner purchased the car in 2003, and work completed in 2007 included a repaint in red, a refresh of the caramel interior, and an engine rebuild. Equipment includes a tan folding convertible top, a rumble seat, dual side-mount spares, a removable paint-matched trunk, 17″ wire-spoke wheels, and vacuum-assisted drum brakes. The selling dealer states that the car is titled by the factory engine serial number, and the original engine will accompany the car on a pallet. This 355C is now offered on dealer consignment with a set of antique golf clubs, factory literature, a copy of the factory build sheet, a binder of records, and a clean North Carolina title. The body was refinished in red in 2007 and features a tan folding convertible top, chrome bumpers, a chrome grille surround, and chrome fender-mounted headlamps. Additional equipment includes running boards with black rubber covers, dual side-mount spare tires with paint-matched covers, a rear rumble seat with steps on the right-rear fender, and a paint-matched removable trunk mounted on a folding chrome luggage rack. 17″ wire-spoke wheels are finished in beige with red accents and are wrapped in 7.00-17″ Denman whitewall tires. Series 355C models were equipped with vacuum-assisted drum brakes as well as adjustable shock absorber damping. The interior was refurbished in 2007 and is trimmed in caramel with matching door panels, tan carpets, black-painted dash panels, and wood trim on the dash and door panels. The rumble seat floor can be accessed through a door on the right-rear quarter panel. The three-spoke steering wheel features controls for lighting and throttle position and fronts factory instrumentation consisting of a 100-mph speedometer, an analog clock, and gauges for fuel level, amperage, engine temperature, oil pressure, and current ride regulation setting. The five-digit odometer was reportedly reset during the 2007 refurbishment and now shows 7k miles. True mileage is unknown. The replacement 353ci L-head V8 is said to have been sourced from a LaSalle and was rebuilt and balanced in 2007. The factory engine is stamped with the car’s identification number and will accompany the car on a pallet. Power is sent to the rear wheels through a three-speed manual transmission. Additional underside photos are provided in the gallery. A copy of the factory build sheet lists the original colors and specifications and shows a shipping date of January 10, 1933.
