Wow and then some. Beautiful car.  The blind rear quarters would make the rear compartment so isolated, as I'm sure was intended.  Also, the seat adjustment for the rear cushion is not a common thing.  I've seen it in Pierce Arrow sedans, but seldom elsewhere. I'm sure its common in other cars too, just not ones I'm familiar with.  The adjustable rear seats are connected to the backrest, so moving it one way or the other means backrests move too.  Fabulous car, another one which makes me wish I'd bought Microsoft stock early on.

Just brousing and noticed this Caddy that interested me. I tell my wife all the time that I'd like to sell a bunch of my old normal type antique cars and buy just one very nice CCCA car????? 

Wait, it looks like I may have to sell all of my cars, plus my house and the cash money I have hidden from my wife in a jar in the back yard. Darn!

I wonder if the seat moves forward, and the backrest pivots, which would adjust the angle of the seat back? The armrest obviously does not move forward, and the marks on the side panel looks like the seat only moves forward about 6 inches.

Yes,that’s how the Pierce sedan was done.  The backrests were hinged at the top, connected at bottom behind cushion with a 2 inch crosswise bar (down from bottom of backrest) into a crosswise metal piece with slot (from back of cushion) on each side, so moving cushion forward changes backrest angle as you state.

 

Note that armrest, while stationary, is designed to allow side of backrest to move forward up to a point.
