The following illustrations
are drawn from the de-luxe, color portfolio for 1937 entitled Cadillac Fleetwood V8 -
V12 - V16, depicting cars in Series 70 and 75 (V8) and Series
85 (V12). Some factory photos as well as a few photos of surviving cars may be
added later, space permitting.
Drawings or photos of the
1937 Cadillac V8 models in the Series 60 and 65 may also be added
in due course.
Each car is identified
by (a) the "Series" code, namely the first two digits, and (b) the
"Style" code, that is the last two digits and - in some cases - a letter
suffix. Some additional descriptions of these double-digit body styling codes
may be found in The (New) Cadillac Database© section entitled "Styling".
Indicative prices are F.O.B.
Detroit and are taken from the Cadillac-LaSalle Price List for 1937, published
