The containered Cadillac

A '31 Caddy sees light again, Bonneville record holder up for sale, the 1000 Miglia USA warm up and the Old Cars Holiday Gift Guide

View in browser The containered Cadillac Working-class 1931 Cadillac V-8 unearthed from decades of storage. Locked inside a deep, dark, dank shipping container, there's a 1931 Cadillac Series 355 V-8 with a story worth telling. Since the old container must be relocated, this could be the time to tell it. We'll be working for this reveal — the container won't be easily opened, as it's settled and sunken over time. About a full day into this endeavor, the container doors are finally opened. With sunlight streaming in, we see push-bar bumper guards affixed to the old Cad's original front bumper. Original headlamps are retrofitted with six-volt sealed beams, and front fenders are topped by vintage truck-type turn signal assemblies.
