1930 Cadillac V16 (and bonus V12 Packard)

As promised, here are pics of the cars we went to see the other day. TL;DR these belonged to a very dear friend of my boss who died about 5 years ago. I don’t think they’ve run in at least 20 years. His widow is selling the house and they need to go; we’re trying to help her figure out what to do with them. She knows what she has.

Your own personal pullman car.

Ran when parked. There’s still oil visible inside the valve covers, so there’s probably hope for it.

Some assembly required. After you buzz off all the rust and hope you can get the pistons out.
