1933 Cadillac. |

there is a flaw 33 had single window, this one is split |

I'm pretty sure it was a model difference. Cadillac offered a ton of different bodies and chassises. The flying goddess is of the 1933 type, in later years it was more arched. -- Last edit: 2019-12-22 21:39:19 |

But isn't the slightly sloped radiator more of the later 1934-35 model? |

and the V on the front radiator guess suggests V16 which probably a very good choice for a getaway car ![]() -- Last edit: 2019-12-22 21:46:08 |

so Cadillac used "Imperial" name before Chrysler ? how nice |
◊ 2019-12-22 22:53 |
Not quite, the first Chrysler Imperial was 1926, the earliest Cadillac we have using Imperial as a bodystyle name is 1927. Chrysler apparently didn't lock the name down until it became a separate marque in 1955, at which point Cadillac stopped using it (despite the fact we have several listed that way from 1955-59, but I think they are custom-built ones) |

Minor adjustment: Not only custom-built cars were named like that - in those years the "Fleetwood Series Seventy-Five Imperial Sedan/ Limousine" is the limousine with (electro-) hydraulically operated glass partition (as opposed to the sedan without a divider) and AFAIK that goes on until 1961. ![]() -- Last edit: 2019-12-22 23:41:42 |

If Chrysler trademarked the name "Imperial" in 1955, then Cadillac would no longer be able to use it, so I would check any 1955+ Cadillac sources to verify that they were still using that name, otherwise it probably shouldn't be used. |
