I've been anticipating the Cadillac sedan. Are these the front grilles? If so, the "V16" badges (also the V12 and V8 badges) were suspended on a bar between the headlamps. Not laid flat on the grille bars or screen.

 

v16a

 

v16b

 

3/19/2023: Watching "The Public Enemy" tonight reminded me that the LaSalle also had a floating front badge:

 

1927c LaSalle Roradster

 

And yeah, we need these badges...

 

v16c

Oh boy, what beautiful DeSotos !They certainly look great and it's definitely going to be a highly regarded and successful release.

I saw this DeSoto model at this weekend’s Chicago show, and as you said, it is gorgeous.
