sandtrooper Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 What is the proper term for a Cadillac 8 (1918 era?) with a small buggy type roof like in picture?...I found one other picture with a similar top and the title was Phaeton.that's it for awhile from me.

nzcarnerd Posted December 7, 2014 Share Posted December 7, 2014 There were a number of cars that had that roof type in that era though I guess you would have to keep the speed down with the roof raised. It would make a good air brake - until it tore off. I don't think this is a regular production line item. More likely a show special custom.
