1929 Cadillac V 8 Dual Cowl Sport Phaeton

The car in the image is a 1929 Cadillac V-8 Dual-Cowl Sport Phaeton. This model was part of the Cadillac Series 341-B and featured several innovations for its time. 

  • The dual-cowl design includes a separate windshield for the rear passengers, which could be folded down. 
  • The 1929 models were the first in the industry to have a synchronized three-speed transmission, which made shifting gears easier. 
  • Other new features included chrome plating, shatterproof safety glass, and improved mechanical brakes. 
  • The car was powered by a 341 cubic-inch L-head V8 engine that produced 90 horsepower.

Totally agree with David - I may be too old to be appreciated but that Caddy is exquisite!

This automotive styling era was just beautiful; rolling works of art.  Makes todays cars look like globs.  Lol.

Looks unappreciated and disrespected from where I'm setting 

Just goes to show how a post goes to hell in a handbasket.
