Yesteryear Collection

In the 1930's it was not unusual for car manufacturers to transform a rugged automobile into a fire fighter. And this Cadillac Series 452 Phaeton - with its 16 cylinder, water-cooled, in line engine - was one of the very best. Powered by 175 horses under the hood, it could get to a fire faster than conventional vehicles.
