The Cadillac That Followed Me Home - Memoir Of a V-16 Dream Realized

By: Christopher W. Cummings .

During the economic boom of the 1920s, Cadillac engineers sought to build a "halo car" - an automobile with no hope of selling enough units to recoup production and development costs, but one that would draw interest and admiration from buyers interested in lower-end vehicles, and increase the company's prestige. Cadillac accomplished just that with the 1930 V-16, a remarkable machine often recognized as one of the finest cars ever built.

This memoir, rich with photographs, recounts the author's unique lifelong relationship with the 1930 V-16, and is a story of restoration, passion, and a true luxury automobile.
