Here is another project that I recently completed ......A very very rare 1931 Cadillac V16 Roadster that I detailed for a private collector. What you have here is nothing but one of the finest vehicles in automobile history IMO....



Under wrap

Ths isn't your fathers Cadillac

V16 Very rare indeed

A bit neglected and dull

It's been awhile since I had some loving

Love the simplicity of these older interiors and the use of machine turned stainless

Retro style door locks

The detailing begins

My son stuffed into the cargo area, cleaning the interior

Results after a thorough polishing by Innovative Detailing

Some of the fine detail of the bright work

Some crazy engraving done by hand in the late 1920's, early 30's, talk about a steady hand:bigups

Could you ever imagine being behind the wheel of a V16 in 1931..u were the king of the road

Just glowing and alive after LSP

Brilliant reflections created once again by Innovative

Convenient vanity or storage drawers under the cab, what a concept and what a shine!

Detailed V16 badging on the rear

Old school cargo or luggage rack that folds up in the rear

Lets get ready to rumble!

Extremely detailed tire and spoke wheel combo with classic V16 emblem

Undercarriage and inner wheel well shows the detailed reflections

One last shot of the drivers side completed

Cadillac V-16 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia





Here is a little video that I compiled during the detailing on this classic and rare vehicle....

Holy frijole mang, that thing is just marvelous... Thanks for sharing that piece of history, David!

A true classic car! Awesome!

 

[Scottwax]

Damn! :bow



Beautiful car and detail! What is amazing is with all those cylinders and cubic inches, the low compression really helped limit the power. They only made something like 160-175 hp.

Speechless. With todays technology and all that crap that is put into our newer cars you can't simple compete with stuff from this era. This car is a true work of art. A masterpiece that can't be priced today. David, you and your family did an excellant job on this stunning automobile. Thank you for sharing it! Ill bet you boy loved polishing them wheels by hand. LOL Perfect as always.

ahh the finer days of caddy. very nice! that car is gorgeous! awesome work aswell!

 

[evoandy]

I wish someone other than spyker would turn out an interior like that these days....

 

[Hey Moe!]

Really, really impressive. You gotta believe that, given the state of the US economy at that time (way worse than now), that not too many of those fine Caddys were built.



Thanks for sharing!

Classic cars of this type are VERY difficult to do, but rewarding and fun on the other hand. Great work!!!.

 

[Cactus1]

What a beautiful car! It must have been a pleasure to work on despite the difficulty.

 

[MarcHarris]

absolutely stunning vehicle. Such a beauty and timeless piece. Its too bad GM couldn't find a way to bring back the v16 as I know they made a concept just couple of years back. Thanks for sharing!
