edinmass 12,603 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Nice car, great price. Less than Model A money. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
suchan 427 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Very nice. Asking price seems low, but I guess that's the market for prewar sedans. 7P sedan rather than a limo, which is a big plus. Link to post Share on other sites

We are all habitual, inveterate old car shoppers, happy with our current fleet but also always on the lookout and hunt for the next one we've always thought would be fun to own. There is a cornucopia of choice cars becoming available now. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

edinmass 12,603 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 Back in the mid 80’s, you would pay more than the asking price on this car today. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Ben P. 632 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 (edited) That sounds right to this novice who only ever tracked the *asking* prices via HMN. Which, btw, this car is listed for less than the cost of the engine rebuild for my utilitarian low brow 4-cyl nickel age car. Anyone know (and I’m NOT suggesting this car needs it or will need it) what these engines are like to have rebuilt? Can a lot of shops do it or would it be left to the handful that can tackle the earlier pre-war stuff that costs more than an arm and 2 legs? (Is the engine more modern is what I’m getting at) Edited January 1 by Ben P. Clarity, typo (see edit history) Link to post Share on other sites
edinmass 12,603 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 The motors are much easier than the earlier stuff.......but still require people familiar with early engines. I wouldn’t trust it to a modern machine shop. 2 Link to post Share on other sites
deac 120 Posted January 1 Share Posted January 1 This is a nice pre-war Cadillac. Although it's not a coupe and doesn't have the V12 engine it's still a nice car to consider. Seller makes no claims about the paint however the interior is original to the car. I admit I am chewing on buying it! HELP, old cars are an addiction! Link to post Share on other sites

In fact I can’t think of a better car to compliment that stunning ‘40 Pontiac. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I admit I am chewing on buying it! HELP, old cars are an addiction! As nice as the interior is, I'd be mightily surprised if the paint isn't original. Last year for Caddy V12's was 1937, and IMHO, the extra four cylinders, especially in a sedan, are more trouble than they're worth. The V8's a good motor, and this is a great car. Nice proportions. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Someone bought what looks to be a great car. I hope the buyer enjoys it. The listing indicates it came from an estate and one wonders if there are more old cars in that estate. 3 Link to post Share on other sites
