1903 Cadillac
USA
This Model A was the initial Cadillac to be brought to Britain. Frederick Stanley Bennett imported it and drove it in the 1903 Thousand Miles Trial. Bennett subsequently became the official UK importer and was behind the standardisation tests of 1908 in which three identical Cadillacs were dismantled and then rebuilt from a mixed up pile of components, proving the interchangeability of the elements.
Produced in 1902 by Henry Leland, Cadillac was constructed upon the remains of the original Henry Ford Firm. From the starting Leland insisted on the highest requirements of precision engineering in order to build a quality mass produced car, demanding that ‘We need to make every piston so precise and every single cylinder so exact that every piston will fit into every cylinder’. Regardless of these higher production requirements more than 2000 Cadillacs had been developed in 1903.
Engine: 1609cc, 1 cylinder, overhead valve, six,5hp
Performance: 30mph
Cost New: £200
Manufacturer: Cadillac Automobile Business, Detroit
Owner: Mr J.F. Bennett and Mrs M Southam
Housing a collection of over 250 automobiles and motorcycles telling the story of motoring on the roads of Britain from the dawn of motoring to the present day, the award winning (Winner – The International Historic Motoring Awards of the Year 2012) National Motor Museum appeals to all age groups. From World Land Speed Record Breakers such as Campbell’s famous Bluebird to film favourites such as the magical flying car, Chitty Chitty Bang Bang and uncommon oddities like the giant orange on wheels. Don’t miss fascinating extra attributes such as the Motorsport Gallery, Wheels and Jack Tucker’s Garage – A permanent, multi award-winning 1930’s garage has been produced inside the Museum, comprehensive down to the final nut and bolt and rusty drainpipe. While the building is a comprehensive fabrication, everything in it – all the fixtures, fittings, tools and ephemera – are genuine artefacts collected over a period of 25 years.
