The first weekend of January will be a long one. Shows in Birmingham, London and Maastricht to mention a few who like to kick off the new season. Auctions in two places. See for Coys' NECC Birmingham sale our post-war review. Tough choices for Gentlemen. At the same time Coys is doing a one owner collection sale during Maastricht's Interclassics Topmobiel. The Brundza collection is a primarily US car collection from Eastern Europe. There's a wide choice of Caddys. Our personal choice would be the lovely untouched 1922 Type 61 Suburban. Yet you may be one of the veteran Caddy adorers who prefers the one cylinder Cars. The 1904 type B 4S Runabout or a 1905 Model C Touring. Slightly more modern is the 1912 Cadillac Torpedo, a pretty straightforward 1929 type 341-A Fleetwood, ...or if you like your saloon somewhat more extravagant, how about the 1934 V12 Fleetwood Imperial Sedan. Afraid a V12 will not do? In that case one can contemplate the V16 Fleetwood formal Sedan or an only seconds before WWII produced 1942 (!) Series 75 Fleetwood. It's really worthwhile to nose around in the catalogue. And not only for the post-war fintailed Caddys.
Still not exhausted and fully satisfied after this, then catch a plane on Sunday or Monday to arrive timely in Scottsdale, Arizona for the auction circus exploding next week when Barrett Jackson, Bonhams, Gooding, RM, Russo & Steele and Silver Auctions will fight to get the bidders in.
