CADILLAC 452/452A

Roadster, touring, Victoria coupé, convertible coupé, convertible sedan, sedan, limousine, various customs.

Lovely double-8 with superb underbonnet finish: each bank of cylinders (at 45deg). has its own carburettor, fuel system and ignition. Chassis as for 353/355, only longer wheelbase and brake servo standard. 100mph with 3.47 rear axle option ('36 only), not as thirsty as legend suggests, but hardly any imported.
