thanks for the article; sadly, I would take that Model A over anything in their current lineup

Yes, i'd love that 1904 Cadillac Model A. But a 2020 CT6 with the Blackwing could give it a run for the money, for me.

FWIW: GM always recognized this purchase as 1908. GM celebrated the 50th anniversary as 1952 - 1958 evidenced by the gold finish gilding offered this years. Model 1959 ended all the golden anniversary garnishments.

actually, 1958 was GM's 50th Anniversary, and Cadillac's 50th anniversary was considered to be 1952 even though very few were made in 1902

Yes,  that is Correct...thank you, now I see where I was confused.
