pmhowe Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Absolutely beautiful. Thanks for posting. And, yes, I can find room in my garage for one, even if I have to kick the two current cars, the lawnmower, and the weedeater out. 2 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alsancle Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I think it’s the only known one with wood wheels and double rare spares. It brought crazy money at Monterey a few years ago. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crusty Trucker Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 Please remember that there are many younger people who don't recognize this car. We would appreciate at least knowing the manufacturer if not the year, model and any other information that the more knowledgeable and experienced members might know and would be willing to share with us. Thank you. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 I know they are part of the uniqueness of this car, but I can't say I particularly like the wood wheels. Everything else about the car is amazing. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything else about the car is amazing. Typically, I would take wires over wood 99 out of 100 times. This might be an exception because it’s the only one. Sort of like mid 30s cars with wood is something you never see so maybe it’s not bad. We were as many of the cars in the 20s had wood wheels 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

1912Staver Posted April 20 Share Posted April 20 It's the late Teens - 1920's cars with wires I like the best . Usually pin drive Buffalo's . Better yet Rudge. Gives the sportier models of the era a look that is hard to beat. Like they are ready to go toe to toe with a 4 1/2 Bentley. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think AI saw it either. Doors appear to be front opening with the handle/latch under the "B" pillar. Strange to have a "B" pillar on what seems to be a roadster. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matt Goist Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 On 4/19/2024 at 5:56 PM, Xander Wildeisen said: Just seeing this post now. Glad you enjoyed seeing our 1930 Cadillac Series 452 Roadster at the La Jolla Concours. We may have spent a premium for this Cadillac, but...find another one! This was custom order the way you see it by a Mr. Floyd Becker in NJ. The artillery wheels and rear spares are just the start to a list of custom touches like a modified top, cute seat cushions, and custom door pockets. It is one of our favorites in the fleet, and it now drives as good as it looks. No trailer queen here. We did 70 miles the day after this photo. Funny that the hubcaps are mentioned on this thread, as I sadly lost one on the tour! If any San Diegoans find a "V16" badge on the side of the road I can promise you I know who it belongs to!!
