This Cadillac comes with a story different than most of its ilk. It spent a great deal of its career in service as a courtesy vehicle for an area Cadillac dealership. Since there wasn’t a service department in those days, he mechanic would actually make “house calls” to customers and fix their automobiles where ever they were–at home, he office or on the side of a road. After providing great customer service for many years, his 1922 Cadillac Victoria sedan Type 61 was retired and eventually found its way into a St. Louis car museum collection. An architect and classic car enthusiast from the Northeast purchased the car in 2010 and began an extensive mechanical restoration which totaled $14,000. Many of the parts had to be reproduced but this architect, ith his engineering background, ubmitted drawings and schematics for the missing parts and had them machined. The final results were so well-executed that the museum he bought the car from actually bought it back!

This charming original Cadillac is an absolutely pleasure to drive, ith known, mpeccable provenance and it provides its new owner the opportunity to continue a proud tradition of Nickel Era touring!… GET OUT AND DRIVE!

Included is one of the most extensive collection of receipts covering just about every aspect of a $14,000 mechanical restoration. Documented procedures include body repair and alignment adjustments, n engine rebuild, uel system renewal, he electrical system and cooling system. Along with all the receipts are drawings, rchitectural rendering of NLA (no longer available) parts that were machined and reproduced and much, uch, ore!
