Matt is in Northeast Ohio, I visited him there on Tuesday this week………. -
Unfortunately there will be a bit of a delay. I won’t be able to pick up the car for about two weeks. It’s another one of those cars I had no intention of ever owning. The current plan is to roll it out at the AACA show in Miami in January. I think we will end up taking three cars. We’ll know more as time gets closer. Now I gotta go out and buy a bunch of books. This one is outside my field of expertise.-

This is in real time, just like the 1917 white. In the next few hours we will drive over in the Cadillac and Phil will get to see the new car he just bought with me.

That’s not the car we bought. It’s a side job. We bought another all original unmolested car that’s been sitting since 1952. And the saga continues………

Fantastic article! Thanks for posting, I learned a lot.
Tell your wife she doesn't need that new car or kitchen remodel. It's much more urgent you buy a French custom bodied car...........😛

There are only a few cars that the actual start up and operation of the machine are special. Any Ghost, P1 or P2 are among the very few special automotive experiences that are hard to explain. Starting a J, and warming it up, sliding through the gears before the oil in the transmission thins out is another………and then once it’s thin and smooth, opening the cut out and bringing the tach up to 3800………. a very special experience that can’t be explained……….
Driving a car where the oil pressure is part of the ignition system advancing the timing…….so few people get to experience a piece of automotive craftsmanship…….it brings joy to one’s heart.

The last few years every line in America has been erased. Obviously, the car is a “birthing person”!

Cadillac Fan…….it’s as plain as the nose on your face. Read that as typical auction verbiage. Clear and pure like a bucket of hot tar.

Where is it now?
Still in Hyde Park………

Above: Early split windshield, spare tire trunk inside mount. Rare and unusual. Typical huge running board trunk. Interesting car. 👍

I would pick a choice not offered. Ritz-Carlton. 🫣
Fact is most ladies won’t go for a dorm room with a shared bath………hell, after sleeping in the car at Hershey Fall Meet for ten years, an air mattress and tent isn’t too bad. As I age, a decent middle of the road hotel is fine. I usually stay at Hampden Inn’s while on the road. Reasonable price, breakfast, gym, and a pool if I want it.

The 1912-1918 era of great chassis could always be had with interesting one off coachwork for what was then, very small money. The chassis was probably three times more expensive than a one off open body. By 1930, things had equaled out and the chassis and body in most instances were equally priced. A little known fact is by 1929 one off’s we’re almost gone…….and batch specials were common and 98 percent of the “custom” market. In reality “semi custom”is the correct term for almost all “badged” coachwork. Pre 1915 winter and summer bodies were also common………with companies like Brewster not only doing the change over and repaint of early varnish finishes…….they also made a bunch of money storing the off season body in their warehouse.

31 LaSalle........there were a lot of chassis differences, as well as many other subtle changes...........Wheel size, springs, shocks, and too much others stuff to list. Much of it was to make it look different in the showroom........so no real performance shift. Virtually nothing as far as body/hardware is the same.....upholstery was of a lower quality. Styling early on was cutting edge and quickly turned stodgy........basically they wanted the LaSalle to look smaller/and less eye popping than a Caddy; tended to be more square. With such a large line of cars it never really made sense to make the companion car.......big Buick's were available, and with the V-12 & V-16 from the 30/31 expansion the LaSalle fate was sealed, and by 1934 it turned into a rebranded Olds. Look at Stutz/Blackhawk to see a similar failure.......... LaSalle cars today while almost identical to the early Cadillacs of 1929-1933 are sort of in a no man's land.........the public isn't familiar with them, and the seem to get lost in the lineup of GM cars.

I like the post war units also. They still had some decent coachbuilding on their chassis.

Yup…….Phil and I will pound it out. It’s crazy busy here, and lots of shows in the pipeline. Pebble. San Morino, visiting shops in LA area, and a few tours tossed in. No rest for the poor…….
