  2. Sometime in 1986, a now late friend called me, excitedly exclaiming his father had fulfilled a long-held dream of buying a Cadillac. Then, he said: "Guess what model?" I responded: "Sedan de Ville?' "No"; Fleetwood Brougham?" No"; "Seville? "No"; "Eldorado? No". At that point, I was drawing a blank, I honestly couldn't think of Cimarron as one of their models! He blurted out: "Cimarron!" Speechless for a moment, I collected myself and mumbled something about how nice it was that his father finally had a Cadillac of this dreams. Although it was a 1987 with the final 'refinements', mahogany with saddle tan leather seating, it still just didn't feel or look like a real Cadillac. I always diplomatically complimented his father on his Cadillac of which he was very proud.
  3. We still have a modern version of Startix today: cars that 'stall' themselves at stop lights, then restart automatically when accelerator pressure is sensed.
  4. Yes, sort of...but to have the appeal of the GM B-body fastbacks, you'll have to do some tuck and tailoring to get the sleek look! A two-door sedan would be the ideal basis, the B-pillar will have to be slanted forward as well.
  5. You are right! It's a Hudson Super Six! I should have put my glasses on and had a cup of coffee or two before I started to type! Notwithstanding my lax attention to the make nameplate and pertinent details, the same concept of reducing the two-door coach price to first parity then less than the open touring car was applied to the Hudson. For 1923, the coach was still $25 more than the touring: $1,375 versus $1,350 respectively, 46,337 Hudsons sold. For 1924, the coach price was $1,395; the touring: $1,500, overall sales increased to 59,427. For 1925, the coach was $1,165; the touring $1,200, sales increased to 109,840 cars sold. Prices for four door sedans were diminishing as well. In response to the Hudson-Essex lead, other automakers had reduced the price of their least expensive two-door sedan or coach to parity with or less than the open touring. 1925 was the tipping point, the first year the closed body styles outsold the open styles.
  6. I'm surprised you are letting your '47 "hardtop" go!
  7. It's Hudson's lower-priced make Essex, one of the two door coaches that was instrumental in bringing low-priced closed cars into price parity with the open touring car. For 1924, the six-cylinder replaced the prior four-cylinder engine, the coach priced $945 versus the touring at $850 with 74,523 for the model year. In the spring of 1925, the prices for either body style was lowered to $765: the result? 159,634 Essex cars sold...other manufacturers followed suite; the open touring car was doomed.

  10. The Standard Catalog of American Cars, 1946-1975, edited by John Gunnell states "An attractive option, made available in the spring, was wood-grained exterior side body paneling for Newport convertible and two-door hardtops." Although the take-rate was a pretty small number, the option was continued for 1969 as "Newport Sports Grain siding ($127)" I do recall seeing one or two 1968's but never a 1969 so optioned.
  11. Definitely a sport sedan, the color rendition suggest it could be "The Car of The Dome". Had the image been taken just a tad to the right, so we could see there were no side mount spares, that would narrow it down.
  12. A change in the details of the body design can affect the overall impression imparted. Although the Sport sedan architecture itself is similar between the Lincoln K and the Stutz DV-32 Hollywood Sport Sedan, the extension of the doors become frame valances visually emphasizes their verticality whereas the separate valance on the Lincoln reenforces the horizontality of the design. The effect on the Stutz DV-32 is to make it appear as if it's a shorter although both cars are 145" wheelbase.

  17. Ryan: Rough, rusty Northeast cars have little value other than as parts cars. Since this is a '56 Eldorado Biarritz convertible, there may be some demand for the Sabre wheels and other Eldorado-specific trim parts. Contacting the Cadillac-LaSalle Club would be a good idea. Steve

  24. The material and seam pattern looks to be the Park Lane. Having electric windows, even with the additional work to install them, could make your '65 a more pleasant car to drive. The Park Lane door panels, even if the electric windows weren't used still could be patched and repaired by your upholsterer to coordinate with the seat trim.
