Here are pictures of the pre-1930's Cadillac shared by Mr. Kanwardeep Jaura. This is from the Statesman Rally, probably early 1990's

Shrivardhan Kanoria recognized that the car belonged to his father at one point. It was black in colour then. The car was driven to rallies in Bombay and Delhi by Shashi Kanoria. Imagine driving such distances to attend rallies in those days!

Wonder where this is car is now?

Cheers

1958 Cadillac 75 Limo. Restored in 1983 by my father. Used to belong to Mr. Basant Dube and now I believe owned by Mr. Mittal of Bharti Airtel Group.
