Classic Car Overview
FROM THE DICK SHAPPY COLLECTION: The 1930 Cadillac Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton
Phaetons, derived from light and open four-wheeled carriages, were open-air automobiles without any fixed weather protection. They were popular from the 1900s until the 1930s when closed vehicles and convertibles became more widely available. The dual cowl was a popular style in the 1920s, as it gave added protection to the rear passengers. Cadillacs Dual Cowl Phaeton, however, was more than just a means of transportation but a status symbol filled with luxury options. The Sport Phaeton lacked roll-up windows however, unlike its counterpart, the All Weather Phaeton or Convertible Sedan, but the model is a much rarer vehicle.
The Model 353 bodies are sought after by collectors because they are one of the only bodies that will interchange, almost bolt for bolt, with a V-16 chassis. To any inqurirers: we have an available V-16 chassis, and the only minor modifications required are in the shorter cowl vent doors and the addition of a second firewall plate. This rare running V-8 restoration, ready for show or touring, has many bells and whistles, including four horns, and sports all real Cadillac parts.
The coachwork was designed by Fleetwood Metal Body Co. in Fleetwood, PA, known for crafting high-quality, custom-built luxury bodies for many classic vehicles.
