1913 Cadillac Phaeton

This 1913 Cadillac Phaeton was based on the Cadillac Model G that was introduced in 1909. It is powered by a 365-cubic-inch L-head inline 4-cylinder engine with a 3-speed manual transmission, with increased stroke and displacement over the previous year’s model. 1913 was also only the second year for Cadillac’s electric starter. This design would continued essentially unchanged through 1914. The 1915 Cadillac Model 51 would introduce Cadillac’s first V8 engine. This example was displayed at the 2001 Chicago Auto Show by the Volo Auto Museum.
