LMC is very proud to offer for sale this 1934 Cadillac Series 355 V-8 Convertible
This 1934 Cadillac Series 355 V-8 Convertible body by Fisher represents one of the most elegant and technically sophisticated American luxury automobiles of the Classic Era, a dazzling example of Cadillac’s mastery during a time when much of the industry struggled to survive. Introduced amid the depths of the Great Depression, Cadillac’s streamlined 1934–35 models stood apart as symbols of confidence, innovation, and uncompromising craftsmanship—qualities that remain unmistakable in this remarkable automobile today.
Finished in a beautiful dark green paint over a rich tan interior, this Cadillac presents with timeless elegance and period-correct sophistication. The color combination perfectly complements the car’s sweeping lines and highlights the refined coachwork executed by Fisher. Styled in the emerging Streamline Moderne design language, the car features dramatic teardrop Guide Multibeam headlamps, sweeping airfoil-shaped front and rear fenders, and a gracefully sloped windshield and rear deck that conceal the chassis and create a flowing, aerodynamic silhouette. Compared to its predecessors, the body sat approximately two inches lower, giving the car a longer, leaner, and unmistakably modern appearance that was years ahead of its time.
Power is supplied by the numbers-matching 353 cubic-inch L-head V-8 engine, factory rated at 130 horsepower, delivering smooth, effortless performance befitting Cadillac’s position at the top of the American luxury hierarchy. The car rides on proper 17-inch painted wheels fitted with wide whitewall tires, completing the authentic period presentation. Built in Detroit, Michigan, this Series 355 exemplifies Cadillac’s commitment to engineering excellence and refined road manners.
Adding to its provenance, this Cadillac was previously part of the Burton Victor Pabst Collection, Burton Pabst being Vice President of Magna Corporation, and was later owned by Eppie Wietzes, noted Formula One racer and accomplished competitor behind the wheel of a Ford GT40 for Comstock Racing as well as a Shelby GT350 R model. The car is further accompanied by Cadillac Historical Association documentation, underscoring its authenticity and historical significance.
Elegant, commanding, and beautifully streamlined, this 1934 Cadillac V-8 Convertible body by Fisher stands as a rolling testament to Cadillac’s Golden Age—an era when the marque didn’t merely survive adversity, but defined the pinnacle of American luxury motoring.
