The Series 37-70 and 37-75 bodies were the same as the corresponding 1936 models except for: Drip moulding running from the bottom of the front pillar up and over the doors and rear quarter window. New fenders and bumpers. Headlights rigidly attached (adjusted by moving reflector). Wheel discs incorporated a hub cap. Built-in trunk used on most bodies. A die cast egg crate grill was used, but the hood louver treatment differed from that used on Fisher bodied cars. Chrome die cast strips were used at the rear of the hood side panels. A seven passenger Fisher bodied Special Touring Sedan, with or without division, was offered on the 3505mm wheelbase. These two body styles had the egg crate hood louvers typical of all Fisher bodied Cadillacs for 1937. The Business Car line included eight passenger versions of these Special Sedans plus eight passenger versions of four Fleetwood body styles. The eighth passenger was seated with two others on the auxiliary seats. A Commercial Chassis on a 3962mm wheelbase was offered.
Engine changes included: Lighter flywheel. Generator relocated in the Vee. Oil filter installed. New carburettor with full-automatic electric choke. Oil bath air cleaner. Relocated distributor.
A new transmission design featured: Pin-type synchronizers. Shifter rails relocated to side of case. Cover on bottom of case. Extension integral with transmission main shaft.
