Purchased on special order in 1938 for a woman of wealth; this Cadillac was to be driven and maintained by chauffeur for approximately seven years. The car then passed to various collections, including museums in Austria and elsewhere in Europe, until coming back to a private collection in the USA in the late 1970s. The Cadillac subsequently passed through several parties until the current owner purchased it in 2001 in substantially original condition.

The mechanic that did the restoration work on the car stated that the majority of components appeared to be in entirely original condition, having not been replaced the entire life of the car. Of course, this meant that most of the rubber and gaskets were well beyond their useful lifetime, so a complete mechanical restoration was undertaken except for the engine, which runs well and was left intact. The car now starts, runs and drives very well. The cosmetics have not been changed whatsoever with the exception of the chassis and underbody, which have been cleaned and painted in preparation for a complete cosmetic restoration, not yet done.

All work was performed by Mechanical Restorations of Rockland and includes rebuilt or new fuel pumps, fuel lines, fuel tank lined with polymer, complete wiring harness. The carburetors were rebuilt, starter rebuilt, heaters rebuilt, electrical systems checked and components replaced as necessary, brakes rebuilt and relined, suspension bushings replaced, steering box and linkage rebuilt, tires replaced, complete new exhaust system, radiator re-cored, engine and entire undercarriage cleaned and repainted, exhaust manifold re-welded, heat treated and plated, all rubber parts and hoses replaced, entire mechanical functionality checked and the front end aligned. You will be able to drive this Series 90 Cadillac with confidence. It is also important to note that this fine car is considered a Full Classic by the respected Classic Car Club of America.
