During the Canadian Tour (October/November 1951,) the Cadillac was
frequently driven by the Royal Mounted Police for security
purposes. The Magnificent Condition of the Original Untouched and
Unblemished Undercarriage attests to the Low Mileage. The odometer
shows only 11,000 miles from new, believed to be correct. It is in
Pristine Condition Throughout and garners all the "Oohs and Aahs"
anytime out! If you might enjoy an Extremely Rare Royal Family
Caddy in Pristine Condition and of "Historical Significance," I
believe you will be Most Favorably Impressed with this Very Special
