1903 Cadillac Model A Runabout Tonneau

Numbered '1447', this outstanding early Cadillac is very likely one of those ordered at the 1903 New York Show and is unique in that it comes with three alternative bodies - two-seat runabout, four-seat tonneau and C-cab van - thus making it outstandingly versatile and eligible for a variety of prestigious events including both the London-to-Brighton Run for private cars and that for historic commercial vehicles. The Cadillac was restored by one of its previous owners, Charlie Moore, and in 1975 became the very first car to receive a CCCA National Senior Award. A further measure of its quality may be gained from the fact that '1447' was used as a display vehicle by the Automobile Association of America during its 100th anniversary celebrations in 2002. We are advised that marque specialist Mr Greg Tockett has stated that it is one of the most accurate and certainly one of the finest surviving 1903 Cadillacs.
