1904 Cadillac Model B Surrey

The Cadillac Automobile Company was established in 1902, employing the factory and remnants of the defunct Henry Ford Company at Cass Street and Amsterdam Avenue in Detroit, Michigan. The company was named for the self-proclaimed French nobleman Antoine de la Mothe Cadillac, the French governor of Ford Pontchartrain (Detroit). In 1688, the French Governor of Canada, with the approval of King Louis XIV, granted Cadillac lands that included part of Mount Desert Island; he had a home in today's Otter Creek, and his granddaughter, Madame de Gregoire, was granted the eastern half of Mount Desert Island in the 1750's. In 1918, Green Mountain on Mount Desert Island was renamed Cadillac Mountain in his honor.

This 1904 Cadillac Model B has a Surry Top Rear-Entrance Tonneau body style. It rests on a 76-inch wheelbase and is powered by a 98 cubic inch water-cooled single-cylinder engine paired with a two-speed planetary transmission with reverse and chain drive.
