1922 Cadillac Type 61 Suburban Seven Passenger Sedan

The Type 61 Suburban Seven-Passenger Sedan is powered by a 314.5 cubic-inch L-head V-8 engine offering 31.24 SAE horsepower. There is a three-speed selective sliding gearbox and two-wheel internal and external mechanical brakes. It has spent 60 years of its life in storage and has had just three owners from new. Around the 2000s, it was given a cosmetic restoration, along with an all-original interior fitted with blue velvet upholstery. It has its original engine, driveline and pressurized fuel system, powered by a built-in air compressor. The car includes brass door handles, roll-up curtains, a roll-out windshield, fold-up rear seats and hickory-spoke wheels.

In 2009, this Touring car was offered for sale at the Vintage Motor Cars of Hershey presented by RM Auctions where it was expected to sell for $25,000 - $30,000 and offered without reserve. As bidding came to a close, the lot had been sold for the sum of $22,000, including the buyer's premium.
