The Cadillac V-12 was built from 1930 to 1937.
The Sedan, the most traded version: Cadillac's V-12 sedan represents the marque's ambitious response to Packard's Twelve during the depths of the Depression. Launched in 1930, this 368-cubic-inch masterpiece delivered 135 horsepower through a silky-smooth V-12 that made Cadillac America's premier luxury manufacturer. The engine featured a 45-degree bank angle and sophisticated engineering that rivaled anything from Europe. Built on a massive 140-inch wheelbase, these sedans offered unparalleled refinement with their whisper-quiet operation and effortless torque delivery. Production peaked in 1931 with over 10,000 units, but economic realities saw numbers dwindle to just 1,400 by 1937. Today, survivors are increasingly sought after by collectors who appreciate pre-war American luxury at its zenith. The V-12's rarity, combined with its historical significance as Cadillac's answer to the ultra-luxury segment, makes well-preserved examples particularly desirable in today's collector market.
