I didn't even know Cadillac existed in 1922! I found this in a box that had receipts for car repairs all dated from same time. I wonder if my greatgrand father bought a car that year...
If anyone can date the cars in photo I'd be grateful, I'm curious what year the, 'chitty-chitty bang-bang' is from.
Thank-you

VERY COOL!!!!!!!!!
Thank you Bellin68 :) I was laughing cuz even now, 90 years later I can't afford one!!!
Cadillac was founded August 22, 1902............The oldest one you show is probably a 1911 (That's the date on the picture) the one in front of the house is most likely the 1922 that the price list was for and the convertable is most likely a 1949 BUICK. The # 3 picture is an early forty's fleetwood, they kept the model the same due to war time and stopped making cars at all in 1943.. they started again after the war in 1946.
Thanks Pop_abides, I didn't even see that down in the corner...
So I looked at photos closer, and the convertible has date on back of 1942. That is my grandmother, I remember her always driving a Cadillac El Dorado. In the mid 80's she had one w/ the wheel on back of trunk and we named it the pimpmobile. I'd pretend to be Liberache calling for his car back...
That date for the Buick works, that would make it a 1942 Super .........they were nice cars.. Thanks for the memories.
