All Cadillacs of this period were built in the Clark Street Assembly, though there was a knocked-down chassis to make export easier. I guess that depends if your definition of "made" includes basic assembly of a kit. -- Last edit: 2016-03-17 04:23:12

I am unaware of any overseas Cadillac assembly pre WW2 apart from the small number built by Holdens in Australia. With regard to the car here, how can we be sure it is a series 70?? I did a search and came up with some interesting stuff re Lendrum and Hartmans in Motor Sport archives written in the 1960s - Link to "www.motorsportmagazine.com" - http://www.motorsportmagazine.com/archive/article/october-1980/122/buick-gones -- Last edit: 2016-03-17 17:31:29
