Fleetwood-bodied 1931 Cadillac 370A V-12 Phaeton combines elegance, rarity, and powerful V-12 performance in concours-ready condition.
A fully restored 1931 Cadillac 370A V-12 7-Passenger Dual Windshield Touring Phaeton, one of just 5,733 V-12 Cadillacs built that year, is now available for sale, offering collectors a chance to own one of the most luxurious and prestigious open touring cars of the pre-war era.
This CCCA Full Classic comes from the care of respected Arizona-based collectors and features an exquisite, period-correct restoration completed to top show standards. The car retains its original Fleetwood body and presents in a stunning two-tone Seafoam Green and Camden Green color scheme with straw-colored pinstriping—an elegant nod to the high-style designs of the early 1930s.
Powering this stately machine is Cadillac’s 368-cubic-inch V-12 engine, introduced in 1931 as a more accessible alternative to the V-16. Paired with dual single-barrel carburetors, it delivered 135 horsepower when new and remains a smooth and confident performer today. Backed by a 3-speed floor-shift manual transmission and equipped with vacuum-assisted mechanical brakes, the 370A offers a refined driving experience rarely matched by other vehicles of its era.
Exterior highlights include dual side-mounted spare tires with chrome covers and mirrors, a chromed radiator screen topped by the optional Cadillac Goddess hood ornament, “Pilot Ray” steering-linked driving lights, a trunk rack with color-matched metal trunk, and chrome wire wheels wrapped in wide whitewall tires.
Inside, the luxury continues with plush Buckskin leather seating, green carpeting, ornate door panels, and optional features such as wind wings, side curtains, a glass tonneau shield, and a rear draft curtain. The engine-turned dashboard houses a full array of period gauges and a cigar lighter, completing the car’s upscale ambiance.
With just over 1,000 miles showing since restoration and a condition befitting top-tier concours events, this 1931 Cadillac V-12 Touring Phaeton is a show-stopper in every sense. Whether you're a seasoned collector or a first-time buyer seeking a Full Classic with commanding presence, this Cadillac represents one of the finest offerings from the golden age of American motoring.
