Cadillac introduced a four-cylinder Model D in 1905, but their single-cylinder cars were sufficiently popular that they remained in production through 1908. That year, a team of three Model K Cadillacs triumphed in the Dewar competition in England, being disassembled, their parts scrambled, reassembled and easily started. This demonstration of Henry Leland’s precision manufacture earned Cadillac the Dewar Trophy and led to the slogan “The Standard of the World.”

However, under-seat engines were becoming passé, so Cadillac disguised the fact by mounting a dummy hood over the front axle on 1905 models, with a vertical radiator at the front. New single-cylinder models for 1906 were the K and M, which differed only in wheelbase (M was two inches longer). For 1907, the front fender contour was flattened, and a factory-installed Victoria top was offered, which added $100 to the $950 price.

Reportedly discovered in England, this Cadillac was re-imported to the United States. Once in the famed Harrah Collection in Nevada, it was acquired by the current owner from the Al Wiseman Collection in Florida in 2007. Restored over a period of eight years, it has a black body over red chassis and wheels. As the touring version of the renowned Model K, it is akin to the three famous Cadillacs responsible for the coveted Dewar Trophy. It should be a welcome addition to any collection.

Please note, as part of a large, climate-controlled private collection, this car has seen little exercise in recent years and will require thorough professional inspection before being driven.
