gjf Posted August 1, 2018 Share Posted August 1, 2018 Just wanted if anyone could figure out what kind of car this was. Sorry about the quality of the scan. This was the first car owned by anyone in the small town of Abie, NE. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gjf Posted August 1, 2018 Author Share Posted August 1, 2018 Thank you. That makes sense. The owner, E.J. Masek, was a director of the Abie State Bank in 1905; it had loans of $9,719.45, and deposits of $14,848.36, and profits of $647.28, back in 1905, so he probably felt rich!! He also owned and operated the hardware store in the little village. I wonder how much that car would have cost in those days?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The cheapest Cadillac that year. The most expensive Cadillac that year was the model L two-door Limo 7P for $5,000, weight 3,600 pounds.
