Cadillac redesigned its vehicles for 1934, bestowing share and clean lines that were second to none. The sleek and aerodynamic appearance was modern and dashing, with a sharp V-style grille, Art Deco bi-plane bumpers (one year only), rounded body lines, and large bullet-style headlamps. Cadillac was the first to hide the spare tire in the rear trunk, although side-mounted spares were still available as an option. A plethora of body styles were offered, along with a choice of V-8, V-12, or V-16 power. Class, style, and elegance were the hallmarks of Cadillac's line-up.
The 1936 Cadillac models were given a redesigned front-end featuring a 'Convex Vee' grille and a more pronounced V-shaped windshield. Most of the doors were now front-hinged, replacing the previous 'suicide doors.' In the back, many of the 1936 Cadillac bodies were given the bustle-back style trunk area.
Within the Cadillac lineup, the Series 75 was a medium-priced offering designed to compete against the new Packard 120. The 346 cubic-inch L-Head eight-cylinder engine had a one-piece cast block and crankcase with hydraulic lifters and a single Stromberg carburetor. It developed 135 horsepower at 3,600 RPM and was backed by a full synchro three-speed manual transmission featuring what Cadillac described as triple-silent helical-cut gears for all forward speeds. Hydraulic brakes were a first on Cadillacs for 1936.
1936 Cadillac Series 75 Seven-Passenger Touring Sedan by Fleetwood
This 1936 Cadillac was delivered new to a Mr. M.T. Crawford of Somerset, Kentucky, from Dixie McKinley Cadillac in Lexington, Kentucky. Later in its life, it was restored to a high standard. By 2010, it had been acquired by the Bill Munday Auto Collection in Texas before entering the current ownership in 2014.
The body panels on this Cadillac are believed to be original and are currently finished in a maroon paint scheme. There are newer tan wool upholstery and carpets, an AM radio, a clock, and rear jump seats.By Daniel Vaughan | Feb 2024
