A Fortress on Wheels Al Capones 1930 Armored Cadillac Imperial Sedan Only the Best for Public Enemy #1 When the first list came out in the 1930s, Al Capone had the dubious distinction of being named Public Enemy #1. More afraid of rival gangsters than the FBI, Capone was chauffeured around Chicago in his custom-made 1930 V-16 452 Cadillac Imperial Sedan. No one knows how much he paid for this, but the normal price for a Fleetwood-bodied Imperial Sedan was around $10,000. A Fortress Filled with Features The 1930 Cadillac V-16s, of which 3251 were made all with custom-bodies on a special longer and stronger chassis, already featured the powerful 185 horsepower V-16 engine, dual side spares, luggage rack and leather interior. To this Capone added the special needs of his profession- bullet-proof glass, machine gun portholes, boiler-plate body panels and even an oil-slick producing spray gun in the undercarriage. These features made the Imperial Sedan virtually impenetrable. Too bad for Capone that he had no weapon to stop the IRS, who eventually ended his reign by jailing him for tax evasion.
