James is talking about US cars 100 years ago at this point, and I'm prepared to believe him for this one. |

It's 'Osceola' Cadillac's first closed car; built for Henry Leland. I believe currently owned by the Detroit Historical Museum. |

I wouldn't really consider Osceola to be a model name; it's really an affectionate nickname Henry Leland gave the car. https://history.gmheritagecenter.com/wiki/index.php/1905,_Cadillac_Closes_the_Body http://blog.detroithistorical.org/2011/07/15/1905-cadillac/ |

Stops it sinking into the murky swamp of 390 un-named Cadillacs. I spent 10 minutes trying to find if we have a previous posting for it amongst those doomed to live forever in the dark where no light ever shines, and decided we probably don't. At least with a name it can now be found again easily. |

And here I thought it being the only 1905 Cadillac on the site made it easy to find. |
