Thanks for the replies I was just wondering what ever happened to that rarity I had Just another vehicle I owned that I wish I didn't have to sell

Thanks for the links Mine was steel with the wood added to the steel maybe by a local shop Either way I wish I still had it

In the mid 70's I purchased a '52 or '53 International suburban from a NYS trooper in the Adirondacks. It had wood sides added to the steel body and was originally owned by the Vanderbilt family camp to shuttle guests from the train station to the camp. The last time I saw it it the steel was painted gold and the wood done in oak and mahogany. That was around '76. and it was going to auction in Harrisburg PA. I was wondering if anyone has ever seen it again. Thanks JeRita

The pictures were taken at the East Islip marina last year when everyone was home

This Cadillac was ordered new from a dealership in Memphis Tenn as a station wagon, because they had show dogs. We believe the coachbuilder was Wisco in Detroit I have seen 2 other 1985 and 86 that are identical to our 87. There are no records left of Wisco to be sure but the others had documentation of the build. According to the original owner's son the cost was double the cost of a standard brougham. It is built on a standard chassis not the commercial chassis. Here is the rear of the car, it has the standard GM 2 way tailgate and folding center and rear seats. The chassis was lengthened 12 inches but the wheelbase remains normal. It is definitely not a professional car.

Hello we are new to the AACA and are looking forward to participating in shows and events. One of our cars is a coachbuilt Cadillac station wagon. What class should that be entered into at an AACA event? Thank you
