StylishOne Posted September 3, 2023 Share Posted September 3, 2023 (edited) Not my car and I don’t know this vintage well but my guess is a 42? But look at that roofline and oversized back window? Once a Derham? Thoughts? Edited September 4, 2023 by StylishOne (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StylishOne Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 That’s what I thought but the roofline and rear window? Coachbuilt? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
K8096 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 It's a 1942 Cadillac model 75. You can tell it's a 1942 and not '46-49 by the round turn signal lights in the grille. The rear window is a later addition and is way too large. I can't tell if it originally had a rear quarter window, or if it was filled in. If it did, it would be a model 7519. If it didn't have the quarter window, it would be a model 7519F (the F is for formal sedan) and would be much rarer. It would have had a black leather top then too. In either case, it appears the body was placed on a more modern chassis. Below is what it could have looked like originally. How the mighty have fallen. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StylishOne Posted September 4, 2023 Author Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) That’s what I thought but the odd rear window? Coachbuilt? What about the amber front lights? Considering 42 I’m guessing was a low production year how rare would this be someone ought to save it.. Btw way do you feel it’s on a modern chassis n not just wrong wheels ?

K8096 Posted September 4, 2023 Share Posted September 4, 2023 (edited) The Amber front light were added on later from a 1970s car. The rear window was also put in from another car. It also appears the rear fenders have been bondoed to the body. If the interior is anything like the exterior, it’s a complete disaster. Maybe I’m wrong and just the wheels were switched, but in any case this car is a hot mess. You can buy a nice one of these for 25-40K. Trying to restore this one is a lost cause.

41 Su8 Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 Chassis, fenders, splash aprons and lights are Model T. The radiator might be aftermarket, the rest is home made. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrspeedyt Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 (edited) getting back to the '42 Cadillac limo. it would cost huge amounts to restore it. but it's at least good as a parts car! front clip. doors. rear fenders. trunk lid. little baby chrome fins... actually... there are things I could use on my 41 sedan! but it is fairly unique and would be a good project to get back on the road with a proper rear window and a Earl Scheib 19.95 black paint job. if it is local and at a good price i'd consider it.
