1904 Cadillac Model B Navigation
Cadillac records show Model B with chassis number 4486 was shipped to the Mexico Electric Vehicle Company, Mexico City, Mexico on November 7th of 1904. The car was purchased by the Mayor of Monterrey, Mexico, and remained in the family until the 1990s. The car's next owner was a Columbian man who imported it into the United States. After unsuccessful attempts at selling it to a Dallas Cadillac dealer, the vehicle was eventually offered to Les Holden, who acquired the Model B in 1997. A painstaking restoration followed in 2005. Mr. Holden was the car's first and only registered owner in the United States.

After undergoing a four-year restoration by the owner, it is now resplendent in its original factory colors of maroon with black trimmings.

The restoration was rewarded with an AACA Senior National First Prize in 2009. It was shown at the Amelia Island Concours in 2010 and won its class at Pinehurst in 2013.
