1952, 1953, or 1954 Caddie. They were really something in their day...
We trudge on.

I was going to say it looks like the 1954 Cadillac that my dad had and I was photographed next to as a child...however I just Googled a 1952 and that grille seems to match the 1952.

From my memory bank it looks like a 53.........
Model, not enough to see, so I'll pass on that one.
Looks like the bottom end of the models.
Can't remember now what it was, I want to say Special, but that was Buick.

Ya know what Joe's picture looks like, now Google a 53 and the lights in the grill match a little better. I had a 53 Ragtop. Bought it in 55, needed mucho body work done. My nephew was going to Body/fender school and they used it for a class project. Drove it for several years, and a guy in Reno wanted it, so a fool and his $$$$$ some parted. Back in 55, it would have cost about $6,000 to fix it. I found a used front end for $125, a door for $60, don't remember what the quarter panels cost now but they were a little bit of nutten, the paint, and for the total project it was less than $500. School did a geat job on it. |

I'm think'n '52. Back in about '70... I went to a repair shop where my brother's car was being repaired. A guy there was taking one apart with a torch to make a dune buggy (???). He said to go and pick up one of the doors he had cut off at the hinges. I tried to lift it... that thang weighed a good hundred pounds, or more. Me being a youngster at the time... I could hardly move the darn thang. He said it was a '52 Cad. Same year model as me. I'm not a caddy expert. Could be another year. yrmv, |

I change my answer from a 52 to a 51. The easiest way to identify the 1951 models is by the new, ornamental "egg-crate" grille extensions below the headlights: This was taken from this site... http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/Phocad51.htm |
