About this car

Cadillac pioneered the production V8 in 1914, and the Model 59 carries that engine into the early 1920s. This is a 1921 open tourer, a large American car of the period with the strong, flexible V8 that set Cadillac apart from most rivals at the time.

The car was re-bodied when it was restored, about 25 years ago. It has full weather equipment, so it can be used as a proper open tourer. The page gives no mileage, registration or ownership history.
