Hey guys,
I am looking to find literature to enlarge my knowledge of pre war Cadillacs.
Which books/magazines or websites can you recommend and which should I leave out?
Thank you guys in advance

The Classic Catalog of Cadillac is a compilation of storied and information about each year of Cadillac from 1903-1990. And of course our monthly Self Starter magazine has a wealth of information each month about Cadillac and LaSalle. See our home page for our special new member deal.

I found 'Cadillac The Complete History' by Maurice D. Hendry a good one. Picture attached of cover.

Thank you all.
I already have the classic catalog of Cadillac recommended by Barry M Wheeler.
Vince I'll send you a PM.

I am also looking for a book that can tell me more about the originality.
It always amazes me who people in this forum can tell by the pictures of advertised cars what is not matching and not original. Any hints to this?
