Correct, original, 4 owner car from new, never taken apart, never restored. Sold new in Rochester New York on 12/6/1911 it remained with this family until just after World War II. It was then purchased by a well known collector in Minneapolis. He owned the car until the mid 70's and sold the car to another collector in Minneapolis. I purchased
the car from him in 2013. Over the years we know the top was replaced in 1940, the car might have had some paint work done prior to the War, but has all original paint in many areas. The car has never been taken apart, it has always been maintained and is a proven driver, touring car covering over 25,000 miles since the War. Car still has original carpet in the rear, original upholstery on the backs of both front and rear seats. All parts and accessories are original, it has many spares and features windshield from the factory and a exhaust whistle dated 1912. We have the factory build sheets showing all numbers and pertaining delivery facts.

This is the first year for electric start on any automobile. Running and driving very well, it is extremely rare to find a 105 year old car of this type anywhere. Anytime this car comes out to drive or be shown it is a crowd pleaser, everyone no matter the age loves this car! Reluctant to sell but asking $75,000.00, open to offer, car has clean Minnesota title with Pioneer Plates. The car can be seen by appointment Ed 602-421-5663

I have driven this car, back about eight years ago. It’s a very nice automobile, and went well. No bad habits, it’s a very nice Caddy.

The 1912 Model 30s are actually closer to 40HP, which makes this a real tour-goer. These cars are the perfect size for brass touring-not small but not a truck.

With its factory starter, generator and distributor, it's relatively modern for a 1912 automobile. Looks like a fair price for a very usable brass era touring car.
