AUCTION RESULTS: Lot was Sold at a price of $67,000

Summary Extensive 3-year frame-off restoration to original condition with every bolt and part removed and rebuilt/restored. 1 of only 166 built. This very rare pre-war Cadillac 75 Series limousine/touring sedan may be the last 7523 in the world today, with only 166 built, almost three quarters of century ago. There is only a hand-full of these big 75/90 Series Cadillacs remaining from the pre-war era. It is a miracle to find one with the original 346 Flathead engine, 3-speed synchromesh transmission overhauled completely and operation like new as it was in 1939-40. This car was almost lost to the city, AKA Metal Soup, with some 46 other cars in a zoning dispute before it was purchased by Mark Sigler and went into its extensive 3 year frame-off restoration in the re-building and restoring the car to its original 1940 factory state. We only hope the new owner will enjoy and respect this car as a relic of history and leave it in the restored to original condition without serious modifications.
