unfortunately this year i wont be able to go to hershey,as yesterday,sept 29th i spent my hershey money on a 1938 cadillac V16 limo,the car`is 100% unmolested, it has been stored in a garage for the last 20+ years,is in remarkable shape,does need total restoration,but is very solid and complete,will post pics when it gets home on wednesday.is a style #9033,planning to get it running and drive as is?,will fix brakes and what ever`to drive as original. thanks Harvey Bowness
Harvey:
Congratulations on buying your V16. It is worth missing a year of Hershey for!
I keep a record of all the '38-'40 V-16's. If you don't mind please send me you car serial number and your address etc.
There is also a good Authenticity Manual the CLC has that was put together by Brad Ipsen and myself. Each of us has completely restored one of these cars.

G'day Harvey,

Hi Harvey,Your 38 looks real nice.Looks like the paint will clean up to a nice shine.Rear interior should'nt be a major project to re-do.Lots of luck with it!!!!!!.Joe Manna-Raritan River Region(NJ)
