The 370B styling included a new grille design, with a vertical dividing line and crested surround as well as streamlined headlights and two additional vents on each hood side. Mechanically, the 370B featured a more ridged chassis frame and improved fuel delivery through new Detroit Lubricator carburetors. According to a copy of its factory build record on file, this Fisher-bodied Convertible Coupe was delivered new to Cadillac Auto Company of Boston, Massachusetts, in March 1932. The document also lists black exterior paint complemented by Vincennes Red trim and body stripping. Extra equipment specified on the build sheet includes door upholstery in the same vivid red shade. Sold Rush is noted under the shipping instructions, reflecting strong early interest in this desirable model. Though its early provenance remains unknown, this Convertible Coupe was acquired by Thomas Young in June 2007. A restoration, which required acquiring a second 370B for parts, was completed by May 2010, with the only deviation from the car's original specification being the retrimming of the interior in black. Praised for being built to the same standards as the legendary V-16 model, this V-12 Convertible Coupe offers a chance to experience one of the all-time great classics.
