1918 Cadillac Type 57 Phaeton

This example is chassis number 57E956 and has a five-passenger Phaeton body style resting on a wheelbase that measures 125 inches. It is powered by an L-head V8 engine that displaces 314.5 cubic inches and produces 70 horsepower. There is a three-speed manual gearbox and two-wheel mechanical brakes. It was treated to a partial restoration during the early 1980s and is currently finished in a light green paint scheme with black fenders. The wood spoke artillery wheels have been painted in matching green colors with the interior featuring the original black leather. The car is in good condition but has many blemishes that tell the tale of many decades of use.
