This beautiful 1935 Cadillac Series 20 came
from the factory with 353 cu. in. L-Head V8 engine rated at 130 Hp. The
three-speed selective synchromesh manual transmission, independent front
suspension with coil springs, semi-floating rear axle with semi-elliptic leaf
springs, and four-wheel mechanical drum brakes makes this Cadillac a perfect
candidate for a CCCA touring car. The
car rides on a 136” wheelbase, in fact it’s
the largest V8 Coupe that Cadillac
produced in 1935.
Cadillac’s new styling that started in 1934 marked
a dramatic shift to a modern, streamlined theme. A new “X” frame chassis was
completely concealed under the coachwork, featuring airfoil-shaped front
fenders that flowed into a steeply raked V-shaped radiator shell, and ended
with rear fenders that swept seamlessly into the rear deck. Chrome trim was
tastefully restrained, and the car was visually lengthened by extending the
hood and the lack of side mounts makes the car even look longer.
Notably, improved body construction techniques
insulated passengers from engine heat and noise, while ride and handling were
greatly enhanced by the new “Knee Action” independent front suspension design
incorporating coil springs, while a new rear stabilizer bar reduced body roll.
Underhood, the V8 engine featured an increase in horsepower, thanks to a
compression increase, and offered better reliability with the addition of
aluminum pistons, Detroit lubricator carburetors, and a solenoid-type starter.
This striking and beautifully proportioned 1935
Cadillac Rumble Seat coupe has a jewel-like instrument panel and is equipped
with a rare and original Cadillac radio and a Jaeger clock , and dual
windshield wipers. As well, this Cadillac features the flowing “Goddess”
mascot, a golf bag door and rumble seat. Notably, the chassis and engine bay
are well-detailed, with a very authentic presentation.
Without doubt, this stunning CCCA Full Classic
will make an excellent and enjoyable addition to any collection of the finest
classic American automobiles. Best of all, its handsome design, great
engineering, and many amenities will make it an ideal car for a multitude of
classic car tours.
It has the style of the V12 & V16 Cadillacs
just not the price tag. This 1935 Cadillac Series 20 Coupe is 1 of 2 left in
the USA (According to the Cadillac Club Registry)
