Description
Identification number 5270296
Highly original throughout, mechanically well sorted
Current ownership since 1991
European registered
The Cadillac V16 we are offering here carries identification number 5270296 and chassis 3421440, it was manufactured in 1938. Equipped with three-speed manual transmission, the car is finished in black with light beige leather to the interior and remains to this day largely unrestored and well sorted mechanically. The earliest whereabouts that we have in file show Mr Robert R. Woodward from Kerrville in Texas, who had the car registered to his name in 1984 and for which a copy of the title will be supplied in the dossier.
Later on the car was imported to Europe by Belgian collector Olivier Huygens, sometimes in the late 80s. Huygens then sold 5270296 to its current owner in 1991. It was ever since maintained by his personal mechanic and used sparingly but on a regular basis. Supplied with old bill of sale, FIVA document and various press articles, this example would enhance any American car collection.
European registered.
