Interesting that it went to the EU.

Two different buyers. One a traditional car guy who cares about history and provenance. Attends Concourse events and probably belongs to at least one car club.
The other cares about pop culture and telling people about the movie and who sat in the car. Probably never been to a concourse event and is not a member of the RROC.
neither understand each other’s motivations.
I would take this one for about half the price:

I prefer the Rollston Victoria. And not really a fan of the JNs. (Ducks his head).
But, my guess is hammer of 1.6 with a 12 percent commission because it is a phone bidder (it’s a 10 percent commission for live bidders).

Do you like it with or without the skirts?

Small point. The 36 70 series and 75 series had the one year only block 348.
37 blocks show up occasionally.
I believe that this is the v16 you are referring to. It was owned, at that time , 2018, by a gentleman from NY.

The 34 v16 with later year bumpers belongs to Academy of Art University collection. Mecum has previously sold many of their cars.

The Gilmore has a fantastic economic plan, along with long range goals. It is in VERY good hands.
Yes, but it will still need all the support it can get including donations, volunteering , and recognition in the future. I always try to promote it when I can. If we want these places around in the future we need to support them.
I hope that this year taught us to redouble our efforts to the things we love to do and to support the institutions that support those activities.

Here is a photo from the University of Michigan Brunn/Stearns archive that I had copied. There is a lot of cool stuff in there and will try to post a bunch of it.
All you car guru guys recognize the Brunn Riviera to the left?
Ed, take note that the deep red wheels with black tires do not look horrible.
My understanding is that three were made. J528, j525, and j440. All three of these currently have the open fenders( non skirted) on them. I believe j525 is original, and I have seen an early photo of j528, so my guess is j440 pre its current restoration. The photo below seems to be the car in your photo, but it has no identification with it. I love the hinges on these cars.

Ed, if you can find one of these in that great original condition, ‘48 or whatever later post-war improved 346 notwithstanding, for $18 grand , old and financially devastated as I am, I’ll find the bucks or rob a bank to buy it ! Thanking you in advance, your appreciative grateful forum friend, - Cadillac Carl
P.S. Oh yeah : and it does not need to be a “movie star” either. I’m just in the game for the cars. The only owner of any car that makes any difference to me, is ME !
How about a 36-v12 for $5k more than $18k. With a ccca senior badge.
To be fair, the dealer is asking a multiple of this right now.
I agree that any 36-41 seventy five is a great car and I personally prefer them to the 60 specials of the era.

The only thing that I can say is a bit negative about the museum is the location - just takes to long to get there . Fly into Detroit and drive there takes hours, a long and monotonous ride . Once there the site is great, I agree that the exhibit of car mascots/hood ornaments is the very best. All the museum buildings have the same feel, nothing "different" to distinguish one from the other except the makes of cars. I enjoyed the Harrah collection in Reno more. Just from the aspect of the way the cars were positioned and the lighting.
As far as libraries and information go, AACA will be superior to most when their new HQ is sorted.
Its location is what allows it to exist. Ie, 90 acres within 30 minutes of a major city's airport would have to be developed by now.
It is 45 minutes from the Grand Rapids airport.
Very few car people say that the drive is not worth it.

I think the video does what it is supposed to do...whets the appetite for more. I live only 20 minutes from the Museum and haven't walked through the whole thing in about 10 years. Even given a full day, it's now too much to see. For us locals, it's a nice problem to have! I know I'm heavily biased but I think it's not only the largest museum in the country, but also the best. And with the planned expansion (which will be significant) it will be even better.
Here are pictures of the ccca expansion.

The video is missing a bunch of the museum.............sad they didn’t cover the place in its entirety. 40 percent was not shown at all.
I think this is the first of a few videos. I am sure the PA museum will be in the next one. 😀

Looks like the buyer backed out. Ebay , buy it now at $39,950.

This video is great, but seeing the cars in person is even better:

There is nothing more expensive in the automotive world, than a bargain Pierce 12.
Serious question: How much cheaper is an 8?

I seem to see 34/35's with fenders & hood vents painted a different color than the body. YUK !
Agree!! Yuk indeed. Someone on here used the label “clown car” which I have recently adopted.

Not sure. The fist post says 55 year ownership - 1966. The article says 1966 is when he purchased the Patton Packard so I assume it is the car referenced in the Chicago Tribune article. I don’t have any more info than that.

-I had hoped for some comments along these lines in the thread for the 1937 Packard roadster project currently listed. Would be curious to see what folks thought of that one. It would appear to be a project that stalled out a little closer to completion?
That Packard was owned by a well know Packard guy in IL. I read somewhere that it was owned (allegedly) by General Patton.
I would put that in a different league than this as I would be fairly confident that what work that is done is pretty good to very good. Have not seen the car and have no idea as to value.

A sales price of $21,725 for the R. M. Sotheby's sale
seems like a good price to me. However, in other threads
people have been talking about the problems and
high expenses of keeping 1929 Cadillacs running.
Cadillac Fan, why did you pass? (I've copied the
picture here for everyone's reference.)
Space and the next car I purchase will be done completely( if there is such a thing). I am really looking for a flathead (36-41) Cadillac. I was not sure how reliable I could make the car for tours.

Love it. Just paint the grill surround and you are good to go.
