1913 Cadillac Model 30 Touring

It is believed that this five-passenger Tourer left the factory finished in Blue and shipped on May 10th of 1913 to Utica, New York for sale via the Utica Motor Car Company. Much of the early history is not known, but it wears a cloisonné 1922 Central New York Motor Club radiator badge which suggests that it remained on the road in the Empire State in the years following World War I.

The current owner acquired the vehicle around 2000 out of long-term storage. The car remains in highly original, unrestored condition and retains many period-correct features including a Cadillac crest, a radiator-mounted Boyce Motometer, and a Warner Auto-Meter speedometer. There are roll-up curtains and an engine-driven air compressor. There are both electric and squeeze-bulb horns, and the Gray & Davis headlamps are fitted with intricate More-Lite lenses.
