Welcome to our new look!

1913 Cadillac

1913 Cadillac

Here’s the 1913 Cadillac, with the Nickel rimmed electric headlamps leading the way

A very original, solid, good car

The car is in deep blue with black fenders, the way Cadillac built them when they were new

The car was restored around 1970, so there is some age showing.

The seats are done in leather, but the doorpanels are still the originals.

The choke and ignition advance / retard are on the steering wheel quadrant.

Nice Warner speedometer, oil gauge, and amp guage

1914 California registration tag

Linoleum covered floorboards.  Note the shifter, with the familiar “H” pattern and the handbrake.  I’ve driven lots of antique cars, and this one has the nicest, easiest transmission that I’ve yet experienced. Easy shifting makes for a nice drive.

Cadillac step plates. Original wood floorboards. We’ve inspected this car thoroughly, the body wood is original and in excellent condition throughout.

Nice Grey and Davis side lamp.

Here’s the crankcase, looking forward. The ridges in the crankcase are for the oil scoopers that fling the oil around inside the engine, thereby keeping it oiled.  They hadn’t quite gotten around to full pressure lubrication yet!  That’s part of the charm of an Antique, you can look at them and see the march of technological progress, both in design features they had, and ones they didn’t.

Rear wheel brakes only!  The foot brake contracts, and the hand brake expands –  or maybe vice – versa, the main point is there are 2 operating surfaces of the brake drum, inner and outer.

Rear seat.

The actual original doorpanel

There’s the engine, a 4 cylinder , 30 Horsepower unit, with both magneto and battery distributor.

It runs great.

Here’s the starter side.  Of course, the 1913 Cadillac was the second year for the self-starter. Also note the air compressor, which has been restored, but still needs to be hooked up.

Another view of the starter

Here’s a view of the top. The top is old, and should probably be replaced. The tires show quite a bit of age, too. Overall, this is a very nice, running, driving example, but it’s not a fresh restoration. It could either be used and enjoyed as it is, or upgraded as the new owner saw fit.

A great car from the earliest years of motoring history. Nearly 100 years old and still on the road!

THERE IS NO COOLING OFF PERIOD UNLESS YOU OBTAIN A CONTRACT CANCELLATION OPTION. California law does not provied for a "cooling off" period for vehicle lease or purchase contracts.

After you sign a motor vehicle purchase or lease contract, it may only be cancelled with the agreement of the seller or lessor or for legal cause, such as fraud. however, California law does require the seller to offer a 2 day contract cancellation option on used vehicles with a purchase price of less than $40,000, subject to certain statutory conditions. This contract cancellation option requirement does not apply to the sale of a motorcycle or an off-highway motor vehicle subject to identification under California law. See the vehicle contract cancellation option agreement for details.
