1937 CADILLAC 7529 CONVERTIBLE SEDAN W DIVIDER WINDOW AND DUAL SIDEMOUNTS,

• This auction is for TWO 1937 Cadillac limousines, plus a large amount of parts and an "extra" chassis & partial body for a third series 75 car.
• 
  
• My plan was to use the yellow car to complete the convertible and to supply the drivetrain and needed floor panels, but the closed car is buildable as well... so I sourced more parts for both. Unfortunately I will not get around to these projects...
• 
  
• Car #1 is a series 75 model 7529 convertible 5 passenger sedan with a divider window and dual sidemount spare tires.
• 
  
• This was a very limited production limousine that had amazing attention to detail, and shared a body and interior with the v-12 series 85 cars.
• 
  
• This particular car has great potential and will make a stunning vehicle, whether it has a vintage Cadillac V8 or a more modern powerplant... the possibilities are wide open for restorers or customizers alike!
•

• - The Convertible top frame is complete with the exception of the two front hinges that attach to the header bow, and the associated corner latches from the windshield frame are missing too.
