The Cadillac Series 80 and Series 85 were two upper-class models only offered in 1936 (Series 80) and 1936/37 (Series 85) by the American automobile manufacturer Cadillac .

Model history

In the 1936 model year, Cadillac rearranged its model range and divided it into the Series 60 (V8, bodies from Fisher Bodies ), Series 70 and 75 (V8, bodies from Fleetwood ), Series 80 and 85 (V12, Fleetwood bodies) and the Series 90 (V16, Fleetwood bodies).

The models in the 80 and 85 series were largely identical to the respective versions in the 70 and 75 series, but instead of a V8 they were powered by a 6 liter V12 engine with a fork angle of 45 °. This V12 was a four-cylinder shortened and slightly drilled version of the in-house V16. All the bodies were from Fleetwood; The 70 and 80 had a chassis with a wheelbase of 332.7 cm, the 75 and 85 a wheelbase of 350.5 cm.

The 80 was available as a two-seater coupé and convertible, a sedan and a four-door convertible, the longer 85 was available exclusively as a five- to nine-seat sedan in ten different versions.

After only one year, the 80 was dropped without replacement; the 85, together with the twelve-cylinder engine introduced in 1931, was deleted after the 1937 model year.

In two years a total of 1379 copies of the Series 80/85 were made.
