| 1927 Cadillac Dual Cowl Phaeton |
To mark Cadillac’s Silver Anniversary a Chicago dealer exhibited 30 models in a huge tent, transformed into a garden, where a full
orchestra entertained nightly; the show drew over 2000 visitors a day!
To mark the anniversary, a new logo adorned the radiator shell and Cadillac offered no less than 50 models in 500 color and
upholstery combinations. The catalog was but a starting point -- the customer could pick almost any combination of bits and pieces
and have a unique motor car without the expense of a full custom. Authenticity of surviving cars may be in question because of the
multitude of possible variations. In the final analysis; if it has a vertical starter motor, it's most likely a 314.
The 1927 models featured large drum headlights on all models instead of only on "Custom" models, a new walnut instrument panel
with silver inlays, and the first appearance of the term "Cabriolet" to designate a closed body style with leather-covered roof
portion. Featured on 1927 Cadillac’s was a push-pull type ignition switch, a new light control switch mounted on the steering wheel,
forward-folding windshield on roadsters and phaetons, adjustable seat in roadster, distinctive interior features, new nickel side
lamps, and a new Delco ignition. The battery box was moved from the running board and stored in sill compartments. A 90° 355
cubic inch V-8 engine powered the car.
One of the new Fisher bodies offered for 1927 was the “dual-cowl sport phaeton”, a luxury sports model that featured a second
cowl and windshield located behind the driver’s seat. This open sports car had a MSRP of $3,975.00 and was a favorite of the rich
and famous. Its styling embodies the time in which it was built, the Roaring Twenties.
The 1927 Cadillac Dual Cowl Phaeton is certified by the Classic Car Club of America.
