This is a beautiful 1937 Cadillac Series 75 V8 Convertible Sedan

　　with Division that has an incredible provenance and has been

　　restored only as-needed. While retaining many original features, it

　　has been a proven award winner and tour car. With a well-documented

　　ownership that began with the heiress of the founder of the Crane

　　Co. plumbing company, extensive service, and detailed restoration

　　history, the pride of ownership is apparent from new. The

　　restoration services were performed only as needed and the result

　　is a beautiful example that can be shown at most all concours

　　events or enjoyed for touring. This Cadillac was purchased new on

　　November 5th, 1936, at Stuyvesant Cadillac in Kingston, NY by Mrs.

　　Emily Crane Chadbourne, daughter of Crane Co. founder Richard T.

　　Crane. Mrs. Chadbourne owned the car until her passing in 1966 when

　　the car was left to her nephew and eventually to his son, whom the

　　current owner purchased it from in 1991. During his past ownership,

　　this Cadillac has undergone a refreshening to exacting standards,

　　including a bare metal respray of the original Thessalon Green

　　paint and a correct replacement of the tan canvas convertible top

　　in 2018. To maintain the Cadillac as a fantastic tourer, this owner

　　also commissioned a rebuild of the engine, transmission,

　　differential, fuel tank and lines, brakes and lines, radiator and

　　more. These improvements were performed by craftsmen and engineers

　　selected by Harry Scott, the Cadillacs former owner. The cost of

　　this restoration work far exceed the asking price for the car

　　today. The exterior of this Cadillac was refinished in its original

　　Thessalon Green livery in 2011 and still appears showroom new. The

　　chrome and brightwork are in excellent condition with only a few

　　minor imperfections. The tan Haartz cloth convertible top was

　　replaced three years ago along with the inner lining and a

　　replating of the convertible top frame. It is still in concours

　　condition today. The dual side mounts look great and give the

　　Cadillac a more commanding presence. The chrome wheel covers are in

　　fine shape and are wrapped with Firestone wide white wall bias ply

　　tires. With the convertible top down, the Cadillac looks more like

　　a sporty phaeton than a convertible sedan. The beautiful green

　　leather interior is largely original with only a reupholstering of

　　the front seat and new carpet during its 85-year history. The door

　　panels look terrific, save for some wear marks near the footwell

　　and from the utilization of the window cranks. The front seats are

　　comfortable and show little signs of wear. The rear seat shows well

　　when considering the age and still has a soft and supple cushion.

　　The two-family history and the original interior are examples that

　　this Cadillac has been incredibly well loved and cared for since

　　new. The wood trim looks very nice and really reveals the quality

　　and beauty that Cadillac is known for. The dash and instrumentation

　　are clear and clean. The division operates with a near effortless

　　twist of the handle. Adorning the area around the division window

　　handle are a cigar lighter and a rare Fleetwood clock. The interior

　　accent lighting is functional and bright. Mechanically, this

　　Cadillac is ready for the show field and for long distance touring.

　　The 346 cubic inch V8 offered 135 horsepower when new and provides

　　ample power. The floor mounted three speed manual transmission

　　moves through the gears well and offers a confidence inspiring

　　driving experience. The engine compartment is finely detailed, and

　　the undercarriage is clean. In addition to the numerous tours and

　　parades in its history, this Cadillac holds a Senior Badge from the

　　Cadillac LaSalle Club after being awarded First Place at a Grand

　　National Meet in 1991. The odometer reads 93,000 miles, 13,000 of

　　which were added by the former owner. Included in the sale is a lap

　　robe, original radiator shutters, full set of factory splash pans,

　　screw jack with handle and lug wrench, tools with pouch, two

　　gallons of Evans Coolant, spare tire cover clamps, and a box

　　containing a 1937 Cadillac Owner's Manual, decades of historical

　　and restoration documentation, and communications. For more
