1931 Cadillac v-12 build sheet

[22classic]

Hello,
I also have a question on a 1931 build sheet to a V-12 car. the upholstery is listed with the code of 58t 131, does anyone know what this code represents?

Again, I greatly appreciate any and all information. 

Best regards,
Matt

Hi Matt,

It's not always easy to figure those codes out, especially since many are special order codes that don't always appear in the literature.

The 1931 V-8 color combination list at the end of this document:

https://www.gmheritagecenter.com/docs/gm-heritage-archive/vehicle-information-kits/Cadillac/1931_Cadillac_V8_VVI.pdf

under optional upholstery selections for closed bodies shows 55 T 131 to be a grey whipcord and 52 T 131 to be a taupe whipcord. Unfortunately there's nothing there for 58 T 131.

You might contact the CLC museum and see if they have any 1931 V-12 trim and upholstery lists that might have your code.  The AACA Museum has a lot of reference material, as well.

Good luck.

Oh, and please tell us about the car!
