Did the owner say what it was because I'm a bit confused right now.
The body, hood ornament and steering wheel appear to be Cadillac. The hood sides look wrong for Cadillac but it could be a coachbuilt body.
The wheels are Buffalo wheels and are the center-lock style they used on Duesenbergs. These wheels were sold as aftermarket pieces as well. The wire wheels that Cadillacs came with were Buffalo wheels but they were bolt-on wheels.
I do have one Buffalo wheel lock in the pile at work with a Cadillac badge in it so they certainly were available.
The bumpers look very similar to Packard bumpers, they're not Cadillac or Duesenberg J and I can't tell you what the tail light is from.
I'm quite curious...
Bringing this back up because the Cadillac is currently for sale: https://www.hemmings.com/classifieds/cars-for-sale/cadillac/341b/2434730.html
The reason it looked odd to me is because it's a V8 and I've only worked on V16s from this era.

Is that Reading? Do they still do the hill climb there? I used to go there for the hill climb in the 70's. I also went there for the night time activities.. LOL

Friggin well spotted!
In reply to Jay_W :
I stumbled on the ad when I was looking for some Packard parts. I thought it looked familiar.
Oh look. Another place for me to recycle my old photos.
(But I REALLY like this one from my roadtrip home from picking up Chico, the Street Eagle, so I hope you'll excuse the spam)
me tryin to class the place up. i think that one's a Silver Shadow?
highest point on the blue ridge parkway. that particular day we were just above the clouds at that altitude. it was otherworldly and i can't wait to go back.
Unfortunately, this photo is NOT mine. The MG in this pic belongs to a friend of mine. I have no idea how he managed to get this pic, but he did. Allegedly, no photoshopping involved.
Yes, I realize this is a zombie thread, but one of my all time favorite zombies, so I'm not even sorry.
'Murica! Saw this on the side of the road in VT, Preach almost broke my neck slamming the brakes to stop for the pic.

I've been to those places! Somewhere I have a picture of my dog with the twine. It looks like they enclosed it. Were they having vandalism issues? I remember you were allowed to add to it, but that was back in 2000.

22 month delay. I remember looking but don't think they listed a price.
