Guest Casper Friedrich Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 (edited) Swedish body on American chassis, so it well could be a Cadillac. The unbroken line of the upper side of the body after the rear doors suggest that it was coachbuilt by Freyschuss.

Layden B Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Rear wheel spokes do not have a bolt thru every other spoke into the brake drum, drum itself is too small, Stanweld wheels rather than Kelsey as used by Cadillac in this era, I am going to suggest this is not a Cadillac chassis, great looking car though and a nice picture of it.

hanski Posted April 7, 2013 Share Posted April 7, 2013 Looks like a German car. Resembles a Dixi of late teens; radiator and hood louvers especially. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vintman Posted April 8, 2013 Share Posted April 8, 2013 Hi Leif,Been thinking about this one and am nearly convincing myself that this is a German cca1925/6 Presto Tulip Phaeton, of the 9'30 or 9'40 type. As the body is obviously coach-built, the bonnet may have been curved a little to suit. Many other features fit, especially the wheel hubs and bonnet fastenings etc, and the chain-cover type housing near the rear spring fronts, but some niggling things are a bit of a problem. Very neat car with a neat roof fold-away arrangement. Have looked at Dixi but dont think the radiator header tank matches enough and the lights were high.RegardsVintman (UK) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leif Holmberg Posted April 10, 2013 Author Share Posted April 10, 2013 Thanks to all that have tried to figure out what make this car is,I hope Vintman are right he use to know what he is talking about . Leif in Sweden Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
