The Cadillac Model D was a new model for 1904 and used a conventional layout with a front-mounted, four-cylinder engine offering 30 horsepower and resting on a 110-inch wheelbase chassis. The single-cylinder Model E was a two-passenger runabout and the Model F was a four-passenger tourer or delivery vehicle, and both models wore a modern 'engine hood' in the style of the latest front-engine cars. This was purely a design feature as the actual engine resided under the seat.
This particular Model E Runabout was acquired by its current caretaker in 2013. Its previous owner had purchased it from Les Schuchardt in South Dakota. Much of the car's restoration was performed by Mr. Schuchardt, including an exacting recreation of the original 'beetleback' wooden coachwork, as well as a mechanical rebuild. RM Auto Restoration later completed the restoration and painted it in a traditional dark green, striped in yellow.
This Model E was given a top with the correct brackets and accessories, although the top was not standard equipment. It has the correct headlamps and a steering column-mounted bulb horn.By Daniel Vaughan | Oct 2022
