1928 Cadillac Series 341-A Sport Phaeton

Description

OFFERED WITHOUT RESERVE

Announced in September of 1927, the Cadillac Series 341 was introduced with a longer 140-inch wheelbase and larger L-head V-8 producing a massive 208 pound-feet of torque. Offered with a series of elegant bodies designed by the newly formed General Motors Art and Colour Department, customers could select between dozens of incredible bodies with virtually every variation of Phaeton, coupe, sedan, or limousine imaginable. Supplied by GM-owned Fisher and Fleetwood, both were capable of stunning coachwork of very high quality and also available to customize for any additional customer needs. Unlike some catalog offerings, there was nothing plebeian about these offerings which featured a long hood and sweeping fenders spread over the long wheelbase chassis which proudly maintained Cadillac’s reputation as “The Standard of the World.”
