(1938) This information is from the current owner (2002), CLC member Terry Wenger.  Terry was a great help to me in identifying some of the cars listed here. This one was shipped originally to Don Lee Cadillac in CA. It was Chantel blue (combination #8). As near as its present owner can determine, it was owned in the Lodi, CA area and was serviced in Placerville, CA. It was re-painted black, probably in the 50's. One owner, Ben R. Taylor of Reno, NV, sold this car to Charles Jones of CA. Gordon Nixon of Saskatchewan, Canada owned it in 1976. Around 1986 it was brought back to Wyoming then to Indiana where Terry owner bought it. It was nearly complete but needs a total restoration, which is now under way. It came with a second, bare engine block #5270124.

Owned by CLC member, Terry Wenger

(1938) In his book Fleetwood - The Company and the Coachcraft, writer James J. Schild mentions a 1938 V-16 Town Car as having been delivered to the Vatican for use by the Pope". I believe Jim is referring, in error, to the car below. The original owner was not H.H. the Pope but Italian Countess Rosario de Larrechea de Schiffner. She paid $7620 cash for it in 1938. The engine number is listed in error on the shipping documents as #3270310; that is a V-8 engine serial number assigned to the Series 75 cars. The Countess' car was  painted Antoinette blue; it was first shipped to General Motors Near East, S.A., in Alexandria, Egypt.  From there it was shipped, unboxed, to Naples, Italy, aboard the S.S. Excalibur that sailed on August 24, 1938. From there it was delivered [probably driven] to the Countess' "home" at the Hotel Ritz in Paris. The Countess used it regularly for trips between her Ritz apartment home and Rome, where her two daughters lived. When she passed in 1948, her daughters donated the town car to a family friend, Cardinal Spellman, later of New York. He left it at the Vatican garage in the Holy See where it is said to have been used on occasion by H.H. Pope Pius XII [there is no documentary evidence].  It was acquired in the fifties by Valerio Moretti, of Rome (see Self-Starter, Jan. 1967, p.12, then/and (???) by Nicola Bulgari of jewelry fame, also of Rome. In an RM auctions catalog in 2012 (?) it was said: In 1966, to make room for a more modern fleet, some of the older Vatican cars were sold, including the Countess’s Town Car. As confirmed by a signed document in the file, it was purchased by Nicola Bulgari, well-known collector and Vice Chairman of the family jewellery firm. In the mid-1970s, Bulgari sold the car to a French businessman, Noel Lambert, owner of a trucking company near Lyons.  The car was indeed acquired by Noël Lambert, head of a trucking company and owner of the former old car museum at St. Marcel-les-Valence, south of Lyon, in France. In the mid-eighties, harassed by the new socialist regime in French, he closed his museum and sold the V-16 to a Swiss collector, Mr. Amman of Aarau. Subsequently it was acquired at auction, in Geneva, Switzerland, by French auto dealer, J.-F. Dumontant.  The [Christie's?] auction catalog listed it as a 1939 [actually, 1938] Cadillac V16 Series 90 Ceremonial Town Car from the Vatican, used by Pope Pius XII; it was said to have been one of the last cars built in 1939 [it is #11 of the 11 units built in 1938]; a sister chassis [V16?] went to Harry Truman when he became the 33rd US President [that was in April, 1945]. The RM catalog states further that ... The first ten years' history of this car is unknown... although said history has been fully documented since the sixties and I supplied it to Mr. Lambert in the early '80s. In addition, it is stated that ...it was then delivered to The Vatican City in Rome during 1949 for ceremonial purposes with His Holiness Pope Pius XII   ["they" (who?) would delivere a 11-year-old USED car to H.H. the Pope???] and ...Upon the death of Pope Pius XII in 1957 [in fact he died in October, 1958] the car was used by one of the Cardinals and then gracefully retired into the Vatican Museum. It was described as a very rare Fleetwood Town Car; one of only ten built, whereas 11 units were built, this one being #11. This is all typical, partly inaccurate hype to sell am "interesting" V-16.  Mr. Dumontant told me he had bought the V-16 from Bulgari, circa 1988, but at that time it was owned already by Mr. Lambert. Mr. D. advertised the car for a while as a 1939 model, at a price of FFr.700,000 (circa $180,000); at that time it was located near Toulouse. It was next seen at Hershey, in October, 2000 (with a PA phone number on the windshield that I called on October 12, 2000; from the tone of the person who answered the phone, it was obviously the wrong day for me to call; nevertheless, my call was returned some time later and we had a long conversation about the car; it was still the low-mileage original I saw in Valence.  In Jan. 2001, it was acquired by Richard BeGuhn of Indianapolis, IN; I supplied Mr. Beguhn, at the time, with the full, known history of the car, and with photos and copies of the invoice and shipping documents.  Dick called me February 3, 2001 and we had a long chat about this car and others he has owned; in fact, two of these are mentioned in the Dream Cars section of this Cadillac Database. BTW, I was surprised when Mr. Beguhn published the story of this car in the CCCA's The Classic Car [Winter 2001 issue] without acknowledging nor even mentioning that he had got from me the bulk of the documents, photos and information he published.  I had kindly supplied him with More photos of the so-called  Vatican V-16 can be found on this page. The car was next heard of in 2006, in Missouri, where it was owned by the late John Berra. Aficionado and V-16 specialist, Terry Wenger, told me it might be for sale once again. Late extra [Nov., 2006]: the car was reported sold at a recent Kruse auction (2006)  for $270,000 (a far throw from the $200 paid by Bulgari in 1966!); the new owner was the noted Texan lawer and car collector,  John O’Quinn. Sadly, Mr. O'Quinn died on October 29, 2009, when the car he was driving (not one of his many "collector cars") struck a curb, in wet weather, crossed a grassy median and three lanes of oncoming traffic, and crashed into a tree; many of his excellent collectibles were later dispersed at auction. Latest [2011-2012]: my daughter attended the RM auction at the Villa d'Este venue on Lake Como on May 21, 2011; the Q'Quionn car was sold there for €134,400 (circa $176,000) ... much less than O'Quinn had paid for it. On May 9, 2012 I met with another noted car collector; he said the new owner of the "Vatican" car was re-purchased ... by Mr. Bulgari himself. I shall try to obtain more details. The most recent description of the car is this one: A highly original example, this Cadillac has been nicely preserved. The paint presents well, and there are no major flaws in the brightwork. The roof covering over the passenger compartment may also be original. The rear compartment is upholstered in brown cloth and shows no significant wear. There is a matching brown carpet on the floor, and jump seats fold up from the floor for the sixth and seventh passenger. The chauffeur sits on black leather, and the dashboard is clearly original with an odometer showing nearly 63,000 kilometres, just 12,000 of them reportedly covered in the last 45 years [N.B.  the odometer reading, in 1966 (I have a photo), when the car was in the possession of  Mr. Bulgari, showed 62,348 kms, so it appears to have been driven only around 500 kms - and not 12,000 -  in the last 45 years].  The car has been in climate-controlled storage since its acquisition by the O’Quinn Collection.

    
The oval fender-mounted parking lights [at bumper level] and the small marker lights above the front wheel openings
are non-original;  these were required to be able to license the car in Italy; a new style parking lamp
was installed in France; the latter are still on the car at this writing

(1939) Is reported to have resided in Canada at one time and was owned there by Louis Gravel of 347 Metcalfe Ave, Westmount, Quebec, Canada. A subsequent owner was R. Aubin, also of Quebec. The town car was later offered for sale at Auburn, IN, in Aug.-Sep. 1995 by the Kruse auctioneers. It went to CA and was reported there in 2003. This model is one of only five built in 1939; it is reported to have a bar with an original crystal decanter, as well as the original front and rear seat radios and the umbrella. Accoring to V16 enthusiast, Wenger, in 2005, it was owned by Gen. Wm. Lyon, in CA. Earlier history (found in 2013): I have it from Pierre Gravel, President of the Cadillac Club of France, that the car was once owned by his uncle, the afore-mentioned Louis Gravel. Pierre recounted that in 1966 he and his father had particpated in a CCCA "Caravan" in Quebec. His uncle Louis was driving the car. Pierre believed it was sold later at Hershey ( ... or was it Auburn, as mentioned above?) He recalls that Ms. Geneviève Keyaerts of the renowned Keyaerts museum in Touraine, France, had attended that sale.  The photo below (and the enlarged view) were taken at the Gravel home, La Malbaie, in 1967.

(1939) R. Kughn, sold at auction in 2002 for a reported $135,000. This one had a body-off restoration. It was built new for GM's Executive Branch (the original build sheet was included)

(1939) G. Cochran, WA [CLC Directory, 2002]

(1940) The original owner was Eddie Cantor, the singer-showman and is featured in Roy Schneider's definitive Sixteen Cylinder Motorcars. The car is slightly customized by Derham of Rosemont (small, oval rear window). In the roster prepared in the early sixties by CLC member the late Bill Tite, the car is shown [with the second engine number] as belonging to J.C. Biscayart of Culver City, CA, then Roy Simpson of TX. According to Terry Wenger, this car is documented but the whereabouts of the documents are not currently known. Late extra (5/2005): According to enthusiast, Len Sholes, both 1940 V-16 town cars currently (5/2005) are in the hands of one collector [both belonged for some time to instrumentalist-vocalist, Neil Young, formerly of the group Crosby, Stills Nash and Young].  Even later [5/2005]: Enthusiast and collector, Hank Howard, says:  I recently located one of the two 1940 V16 town cars, style 9053. It is for sale and I am negotiating to purchase it. I noticed while scanning through the V16 section that you mentioned that this particular body style is an all time favorite of yours. I am contacting you to let you know that if I am successful in my purchase, I will forward pictures of the car so that you can add it to the V16 section for all of the V16 fans to see. I am also wondering if you can suggest several V16 experts that I might contact for restoration questions. The car is mostly together and even has a rebuilt engine, but needs a full restoration as it is all original and neglected. I am a member of the Cadillac -LaSalle club, but at the moment have no directory. Terry Wenger gives the 2005 owner as Wayne Grafton of Langley, B.C., Canada. Later still (1/2008):  This car is being offered at auction (lot #47) at the Gooding & Co. auction in Scottsdale, AZ, on Jan. 19, 2008 (estimated between $150,000 and $200,000).  In the auction catalog it is stated that Eddie Cantor ordered the car in 1940 without the standard jump seats, so that a small piano could be installed in the rear compartment. Chris Cummings supplied this latest information [thanks, Chris!]  and says that the car looks like a well-preserved original. Later still (12/2009):  Chris, who keeps an eye on the V-16 market for me, informs me that the Cantor car  is now being offered for sale at a fixed price of $95,000 by Gullwing Motor Cars, Inc. They describe it thus: 1940 CADILLAC V-16 OPEN FRONT TOWN CAR.  Black with tan broadcloth in rear and black leather in the front. This is one of only two V-16 Town Cars that were built in 1940. 1940 was the last year for Cadillac"s Flagship V-16 and these two cars cost approx. 20% more than the next most expensive American cars made that year which was the V-16 Convertible Sedan. This car has 95 % original paint .The interior is 100% original and still in very good condition. It has had a new top installed and the front and rear chrome have been replated.  The car also comes with much documentation and a known ownership since 1970. It has been known since the early 70s as the Eddie Cantor car and it is very likely that the entertainer was the original owner. The car also belonged to Singer/Songwriter Neil Young for close to 30years. The mechanicals have recently been serviced and new tires installed. It runs and drives well and is very useable as is. Even later (2010): The car is currently listed  to CCCA members, Sonny & Joan Abagnale.  Latest (Feb. 2012): The car was offered for sale at auction on Ebay.

What is odd about this car is that it does not
feature the typical V-16 hood side vents

About these two 1940 Cadillac V-16 town cars (above): Cadillac enthusiast, Len Sholes, contacted me in March 2005 and provided some additional information. He said : Last week I was invited by a friend to travel to Lyndon WA to meet a fellow who has a restoration shop. On the way, he told me that this fellow just picked up two 1940 Cadillac V16 town cars. Upon arriving at his place, one of the vehicles was parked outside under cover and I couldn't believe what I was seeing. A complete car that was showing signs of aging but was all there. In his shop was the twin which was in much better shape and he was reconditioning the water pump and replacing the radiator hoses. He told us they were bodies  #1 & #2 and that he had purchased [both of] them from Neil Young (the singer), who lives in California, just south of San Francisco. When I got back home I pulled up the Cadillac Database and saw that there were only two of these cars manufactured and I had seen them both and now I knew what he meant when he said they were #1 & #2. As luck would have it I went back down to his place later, with a friend, and I took with me the information from the Database [thank you!]. We had quite a visit and, yes, these are the two cars you have listed on the Database. He had a file on the two cars that contained a lot of photocopied information. Going through it, there was an article that said Eddy Cantor owned one of them. It mentioned also that the vehicle had been for sale by Lowell Shuckman of Pontiac MI. There was also a registration form with the name of Jean L Biscayart on it and an address in Culver City, CA. It appears that Roy E Simpson from San Antonio Texas owned both of them for a number of years. The fellow who has them now doesn't know for how long Neil Young owned them. He also tells me that he is not keeping the cars and has a buyer in Langley BC. Another thing that I noticed was that on the registration forms there are notations stating that serial number 5320038 [the older of the 2 cars] is body #1 and that 5320026 [the younger of the 2] is body #2 [that ties in also with my info, Len]. We couldn't locate the serial numbers so I don't know which car is which. However, on the car he has parked outside under cover there is a number 102559 painted on the rear RH drivers door post and this same number is on rear of the car on the left hand side below the trunk lid. It's on the rear cross member. Do you have any idea what this number means? [Sorry, Len, I don't have a clue] I would be interested if you already have all of this information or not. If you would like a picture of them I can email you them [these are now included, above]. Terry Wenger says that  #102559 is nowhere mentioned in the factory documents of which he has copies.

V-16 owner-enthusiast, Terry Wenger says this about the V-16 coupes (ABOVE): these 9057's and 9057B's can get confusing. They are all called club coupes,
and 4 passenger or 5 passenger coupes by their owners. Without seeing the car or having a copy of the body tag, there is no way to tell one from the other.

(1938) G. Timoff, MI [CLC Directory, 2002 and 2003]. This info ties in with the listing prepared by the late Bill Tite in the early sixties. Late Extra [2/2009]:  the car was offered for sale at auction, on Ebay, in Feb. 2009.  In the same family and both garaged since 1959, this car and its mate (a 1939, style 9033   limousine #33) were offered at auction as a pair.  This one had just under 22.5K miles on the odometer. It needs a lot of work. Its engine currently powers the other car. Neither car has been driven in the last 12 years. The vendor believes both cars to be complete.  Latest [Feb. 10,2009]:  Bidding topped out at $27,000 without meeting the vendor's reserve.

(1938) This one was photographed in the fifties. It looks like a police car, with a large siren mounted on the RH front fender. I wonder whatever happened to it.

(1939) The engine/chassis serial number for this car corresponds to V-16 style 9033; the original sedan body may have been swapped over for convertible coupe body by the restorer. The car is black with a red leather interior; it was advertised for sale on the Internet, in August 1995, by RM Classic Investments Inc., MI; the asking price at that time was $155,000. I saw a second ad for what I believe was the same car, offered for sale by the same vendor, one year later, in August 1996; this time the asking price was $33,000 "O.B.O."  Quite a discount, no!?!? A similar car was again for sale at an RM auction at Amelia Island in 2001; was it this same car?  Did it find a buyer? Terry Wenger believes Dick Kughn was a former owner.

(1939) J. Bohmer, MN [CLC Directory, 2002] The VIN suggests the car is built on a V-8 chassis!

?? ??

(1940)  This car was restored  by Harbor Restorations in Pompano Beach, FL.  In 2001 it was owned by George Shelley of Fort Lauderdale, FL. It is black, with tan leather upholstery. It is unfortunate that someone added a fifties gold "V"  on the trunk lid. Only two of these were built in 1940. Late extra (3/2005): At the RM auction sale in Amelia Island, SC, the car found a new home, for $313,500 !

This car perhaps?

5320046

(1940) Is featured in the 2003 CLC directory as belonging to M. Blasinsky, PA; however, as only two of these cars were built in 1940, it is possibly one of the two preceding cars.

Trivia item...
[ Can any V-16 sleuth shed more light ? ]

This came in from V-16 enthusiast, James Frohlich, in March 2007. Can anyone help identify the V-16 cars and engines mentioned in James' Email ?

Hello Yann, I was surfing the net (Googled my dad, Don) and found your listing of V16's.  I had a couple of items that may be of interest.

An engine block we had was in the Database [James does not mention its number].  My dad got the block from a dentist named Wiley in San Jose CA in about 1967 or so. It had supposedly come out of a 1938 4-door convertible [Fleetwood style #9029? - Doug Houston believes it came from style #9067 convertible coupe #7 (see above - engine #5270184)] - I think we actually saw the car (and may have a picture somewhere) but I am uncertain whether the block came from it, or was bought to go into it at some point. The block came with a 1938 style #7557B coupe [not a V-16] that we kept for a very long time (which was finally sold to Ed Gallagher of the CLC in San Jose CA who restored it).  A 1949 Fleetwood came with the deal as well - I do not know where that went.  Not ever expecting to own a V-16, my dad swapped the block to Doug Houston for some parts for the 75.

A few years after that he did actually buy a V-16.  It was a black 1939 style #9057 coupe with no sidemounts and access to the trunk from behind the seat that was owned by Ed Gunther, also in San Jose and longtime CLC member.  My dad sold it in the late 1970's (maybe 1976-78?), after I had spent a summer in John Salvador's shop taking it apart and making it run (after a fashion).  It went by truck to someone I did not know, I think in Texas.  As I recall I was told that  7 of these coupes (total 2- and 5-passenger) were made in 1939 but maybe I got that wrong [the actual, combined total for 1939, James, is 11 units: six of the 2-pass cars and five of the 5-pass kind].

Later on, an owner in the UK tracked my dad down (via an old registration for Ed Gunther in the glove box) and I talked the the guy, a gentleman farmer, in the early 1990's while I was living in Europe.  He sent a picture, by then it had been painted its original oxblood maroon and was being driven on farm business, and an invitation to visit, which I never did.  This may be the body #6 that is in the Database [see above].  I will find the picture/letter and name, if you would like, and ask my mom to see if she has any info on the body number.
