1929 Cadillac 341B 7 seater
Another rare and unique vehicle from this years Motorclassica.
A 1929 Cadillac 341B 7 seater. The 1929 Cadillac's were the first cars in the industry to have 'Synchro-Mesh' which eliminated the need to double clutch when shifting gears. An L-head V8 engine with a 341 cubic inch displacement was standard.
This car is thought to be the one that (Sid) Joseph Siedlecky had amongst the stable of 15 or so early motor tourist vehicles in New South Wales' Blue Mountains districts. Sid started his business in 1919 and was later advertising as Sid Siedlecky Taxi and Tourist Services.
Having spent many years laying idle and unmaintained, it was eventually purchased site unseen by the current owner in 2013. The engine recommissioned and a new radiator installed, the car is now in running order as an example of a genuine, unmolested preservation car. It is completely original with the body paintwork faded but undamaged and the upholstery is complete with wear and some small holes.
