1939 Cadillac, I think - Link to "www.supercars.net" http://www.supercars.net/Pics?viewPic=y&source=gal&uID=179009&gID=2253&pgID=1&pID=896428 Nice spot! |

I can't make that link work but seeing it is at the same site as this page - http://www.supercars.net/gallery/179009/2253/1.html - I guess it is the same car. There can't have been very many of these built. Certainly not a Cadillac factory item. |

Fully restored, still in California (at least it was in 2009). More pictures.![]() The Joseph Wildanger Company of Shrewsbury, New Jersey once was a highly respected coachbuilder for this type of wooden conversions during the late 1930s and 1940s and Mr. Wildanger initially learned his craft building carriages in Vienna. The company also built this 1939 Cadillac Station Wagon and after having compared a lot of manufacturing and styling details between these two (incl. metal fittings, position and style of bolts etc.), I'm convinced this Fleetwood Series 75-based woody wagon has been handbuilt by the Jos. Wildanger Co.. |
