Cadillac cars were the inspiration of Henry M. Leyland and establish the tradition of interchangeability of components. They became part of General Motors in 1909 and were soon the leaders of that Group. In 1914 they introduced the world's first commercially successful V8 engine which stayed in production in its first series until 1926.

The second series V8, the 314, was introduced in 1926 and although it had the same bore and stroke of previous models it was an entirely fresh design which remained in production until 1936. This particular example comes from a private collection and has benefitted from a restoration. It has the option dual windshield and spotlights, chrome wire wheels and trunk. It is recognised by the Classic Car Club of America as a "Full Classic" and, as such, can participate in many club events.
