The most exotic Cadillac V16 ever made
go here
http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/16hrtm.htm It is a 1937 Cadillac two-door convertible, body by Hartmann. from http://www.blackhawkauto.org/collectf.html The last year for Cadillac’s 452 cubic inch V-16 engine was 1937 and only fifty units were manufactured; Cadillac introduced a redesigned and less expensive V-16 in 1938. Cadillac released only two V-16 chassis to independent coachbuilders in 1937. One was sold to Philippe Barraud, a wealthy young playboy living along the fashionable Swiss Riviera, which stretched between Lausanne and Montreux on the shores of Lake Geneva. Barraud commissioned Willy Hartmann, a body shop owner in Lausanne, “to create a look similar to a Figoni et Falaschi-designed car” on this huge chassis. Basic stock Cadillac components were used on this streamlined hand-formed fantasy, which is one of the largest cabriolets ever built. Initially there was some doubt whether it could be registered in Switzerland as a private car due to the 22-foot overall length. Barraud drove his car to all the fashionable haunts where it caused a sensation — as it continues to do today.

Gus Bell drove a Cadillac V16 Roadster prototype at the GM proving ground in Milford, Michigan on July 15, 1930. He was going 112 mph before he crashed and died.
Here is a website about him. http://geocities.com/gusbell1930/
