Pre-war (up to 1942) Help identifying model year of old Cadillac

[Lars Kneller 8246]

I received an inquiry asking for help identifying what model year this old Cadillac is. Thanks!

I would be proud to drive that right down the left lane of I-95.    Love it! Gorgeous! I have no knowledge, but guessing 1904-5.

My guess is it's a 1906 model M.....but the front fenders are off of something else....

  A review of 80 years of Cadillac La Salle by Walter M.P. Mc Call

    The hood was never used by Cadillac . The top of the hood in 1905 for models E and F  does look right,but all hoods of this type had louvers in the side panels. The Model B hood very was different.

    The dash board looks to be the 1905 style used on models E and F.. The top corners are cut away so lights could be installed.

    The rear axle is the 1905-08 style with roller bearings ,not  the earlier one with ball bearings. ( see Cadillac owner manual #4)

  The body appears to be a Convertible (to 2 pass). The ones that fit to a slanted rear deck were used in 1902-05 on model A and B.  From what I can see from the books pictures, the 1905 one used on model F Convertible models was not made that way. None was available on model E. The rear deck on the one we are trying to ID looks to be slanted.

 It is likely a 1905 model F,but the body may not be.  Warren
