The Cadillac Sixteen, inspired by the Cadillac
V-16, had just over 4,000 units produced in its 11 year production run. Hitting the market in 1930, the V-16 was one of the era’s most expensive and prestigious cars. Today, it’s considered one of the best vehicles of the prewar period.
When General Motors unveiled the Sixteen concept car at the 2003 Detroit Auto Show, the intention was to debut a new design that would characterize future Cadillac models, including the second-generation CTS. Like its predecessor, the Sixteen was massive, with 24-inch polished aluminum wheels and no B-pillars or door handles.
A modern, sharp looking sedan, the Sixteen was produced on a made-to-order basis. The interior of the Sixteen is equally as gorgeous, with Tuscany leather seats and a Bvlgari clock on the dashboard, embodying true rarity and luxury.
