David - I have researched the Cadillac-LaSalle Club Museum and Research Center Library, and sorry to say, we cannot help. I suggest you contact Cranken Hope Publications in Pennsylvania.   They may have a reproduction service manual. Have you gotten the authentication package for your car from the GM Heritage Center? They may have service info for cars of this vintage.  Also, literature vendors such as Ken McGee or Bob Johnson may have original owners and service manuals.  Theyre worth a try.  Paul

David, I have a copy of the booklet The Story of Cadillac Construction, copyrighted in 1924 that refers to the Cadillac V-63, built in 1924 and 1925.  It is NOT a service nor a shop manual but merely a detailed mechanical description of the power plant and other mechanical parts like the transmision, steering, brakes.  If it might be of help, I can send you a copy if you send me a SASE (Yann, 114 Seafarer Ln, Collumbia, SC 29212)

 I do have the the owners manual for your car edition 314-120 copyright 1925. IT is almost 90 pages. If I can get 2 to a page it would cost 5 or 6 bucks to copy.  I also have a photo copy of the 314 shop manual, It is 170 pages and probably wont copy well.Try to get that from Crank en Hope. Who made the body? If it was Fisher get a copy of the 1926-31 reprint of  THe Fisher Body Manual , it should help.Warren
