More than 6 years ago, someone by the name of Joe Moore left this message on the CLC message board (June 21, 2002): "Have 7-pass one of a kind [V-16] with scroll hood. Need any parts & accessories including any information of original sales data. Delivered new to a dealer in NYC. Fleetwood body #16-688 [???], engine #701849 [completed in June, 1930]. Currently in complete restoration. Any help will be greatly appreciated. Joe." I've tried unsuccessfully to bring up that old message using the "search" feature. Has it been deleted? Does anybody know "Joe" ...or better still, his "odd" V-16. From photos I've seen, it looks like a combination of TWO unique Fleetwood styles (4257-A sport phaeton and 4257-H touring car). Does anyone happen to have access to the build sheet for V-16 #701849? Thanks.
There's a Joe Moore of TN listed the Directory.
He owns a few pre-war Cadillacs, no V16 listed but it might be worth a contact to see if he's your guy.
