1930 Cadillac series 353, truly an amazing car 

Do ya ELO, gimme the Chord...I mean Cord

That car was designed and built to last forever, never to be thrown away, just eventually retired gracefully.

A lovely old giant, definitely wins both "Would You Rather" segments. I believe the interior cloth is velvet. Thanks for sharing, Happy Trails! 😁

U have to appreciate the craftsmanship that went into these cars. Outstanding.

Absolutely beautiful Cadillac. Jay, thanks so much for showing us around this wonderful car.

Love those great old cars! Looking at the front made me think: you might consider a segment on Pilot Ray steerable driving lights.

That caddy is so gangster, I love it! 1930 Caddy 1930 Caddy

What an absolutely stunning automobile! Like I wrote during the premier - this is like a rolling palace fit for a king or queen. WYR: Cadillac and Packard (although it was tough not to pick the Caddy again). Sorry about the outtakes, you had me laughing, but it also points out the extra amount of work you put into this. Thank you as always ~ Chuck

Very nice. Thank you.

Back in the 1960s my grandmother had an easy chair that was upholstered in similar red velvet, but it was not on the floors and walls and ceiling like this. This is a limousine, the passenger had real money. Imagine you're the chauffeur and have to constantly maintain this entire vehicle to new perfection regardless of the weather, or what unemployed protesters threw at it.

craftsmanship beyond compare.

Stunning.

Hi Jay! There is a reason that it was called the classic car era. These cars are CLASSIC in every way. Quality, Smoothness, Comfort, and for the time Power, too. So glad you got to experience this one. Gives a perspective of how competitive the luxury car market was, even during the depression. The WYR's. . .Gotta pick the Caddy for #1, as you mentioned it is SO nice! #2 Going to go CORD here, LOVE the profile of the L-29!

Interesting wiper set-up.

I love this car! That interior is nicer than any place I have ever lived. I love cars with bud vases. When my dad was young in the 20's it was his job to keep flowers in the bud vases in his family's Chevy. I would choose the Cadillac in both scenarios.

For WYR, I'll go with Cadillac both times. That front end was beautiful. Actually the whole car is, right down to all the wood. I'd love to see those windshield wipers in action... I've never seen that before.

No wonder Al Capone liked riding in one of these! Those thick frames around the windows gave lots of room for bullet-proof glass. Absolutely a beautiful car. I was thinking velour for the upholstery, but another commenter suggested velvet, which I hadn't thought of.

Glad you caught that one before it was sold, it probably went home with a CLC member, maybe you might see it again in Gettysburg this summer. Lovely Cadillac, well done interior , and laid out dash and has that beautiful chrome radiator guard, also featured on the same year Chevrolet car and available for the trucks, that's the best feature of both models First pick 1030 Pierce Arrow model A, second 1930 Cord L-29. See a nice cream color coupe in the background, can't tell if it is a DeSoto or Chrysler.

Just fabulous!

An incredible work of automotive art! I do like the look of the Lincoln in the first, but would most likely pick this one, and definitely this in the second.,😎

I think the material you're looking for in the seats and door panels is "velour". Spectacular video of one of the finest models of the Classic Car era! Andy

I don't always look at cars from the 30s but my picks would be the Pierce Arrow and Cord. I especially like the 1933 Pierce Arrow Silver Arrow of which only 5 were made. I also take a strong liking to the 1937 Cord 812.

J! I've never seen you gush before! So, just to be sure, you kinda like this car a little, right? 🙂 They say the color can make the car, and the classic silver/black w/ red interior certainly does with this. Beautiful! And that interior! I asked about original interiors before... I don't think this is THE original, but the texture you describe is like mohair, which would've been the material of choice back then. Drop.Dead.Gorgeous. Thanx! WYR: 1) There you go again, making me choose between Lincoln and Caddy... for this, ONLY for the color combo, Caddy. 2) Caddy, hands down!

Very pretty car - 1929-33 (depending on make) was the epitome of the full square rigged style that many still feel is the design statement of Classic. Full crown sweeping clamshell fenders, sidemounts and a detachable trunk with fitted luggage! Hood louvers - or even better, doors, but you had to get a 16 in 30 for that. Huge headlamps on a tie bar, and, except for a slightly tilted windshield (more to reduce glare than anything else) not a hint of aerodynamics yet. Skirted fenders came with the 32 Graham, all else followed. Not sure about those seats; pattern is correct and well fitted, but the color feels a little too bordello to be original. Red leather on open cars, yes, but I think this would have been considered garish here. Those rugs on the other hand were not original but were commonplace - assuming as a level of one upsmanship, but I don't have definitive commentary on whether this was popular when new or came about after several years of use (to conceal wear). WYR 1) Pierce-Arrow A - that was the flagship and had 35+ more hp than the Cadillac. It was a more expensive car and in 1930 still carried more prestige - or at least spoke to old money. 2) The Cord if I had a good mechanic and acess to fwd parts: beautiful but flawed.

Was your thumbnail from an advertisement? If so, it sure didn't due the car justice! I'll bet that the upholstery is velvet looks very comfortable. Chrysler when crazy with velvet-like seating in the 80's on their 5th Avenues, New Yorker & Imperial as did home furniture manufacturers. Reckon that someone at your young age hasn't seen much velvet on anything! WYR: 1. Pierce 2. Caddy

Gorgeous car!!!!

I've never seen a whipper set up like that! I love those running board storage units, it's given me an idea for a project I'm working on. Could the door trim material be "Swede"? Having a rear seat arm rest is something special for a 1930 model in any car.

The wipers are interesting. I would like to see them in action.

Speaking of brightwork, lots of nice chrome on this but I do believe the window cranks looked like nickel plate. Not quite as shiny.

You said there is not much against it. You could say waxing it must be a pain. Other than that, it is a beauty.

Is that Interior Material Velvet? Thank You for bringing us this Beauty! Thank you for the Detail Videos

Great video and what a car! I'd go with it in both scenarios.

Packard and Pierce Arrow 🤔 All are fantastic cars 👏👏👏😉.. My only complaint was the turn signals 😢 AutoZone specials 🤷😔.. Vintage housings and 3-D printer lenses?? Spend 300 dollars on a car like that 🤷👍 .. Every thing else was quality 👏👏👏👏 Great Episode Happy Motoring ✌️🤠

I miss big ol cushiony bench seats. New car seats are like sitting on plywood.

WYR 1: All of them. WYR 2: All of them. I'm surprised you didn't address the Batmobile in the room.

Nice car. The Lincoln then Cord.

Awesome looking car.

450 videos? Well done!

I see some oil drips under the car, goddamn it!

The Auburn and the Packard. I've always been an underdog kind of guy. That '30 Caddy is gorgeous, though...

What a beauty! I'm not surprised it was sold relatively quickly. And I'll take the Lincoln and the Packard.

They were great cars. I've owned many Cadillacs. All shit after 1962.

I wonder why they just didn't wire the light on top of the fenders to be turn signals?. the cheap plastic one in the bumper look tacky I agree, one of the nicest cars you've shown!! WYR Cadillac wins both

Both are tough. #1 Pierce Arrow or Auburn. #2 Packard or Cord.

I believe this was the Abraham Lincoln hote in Pottstown a car for weddings? I know they used to use a gray and black one with a red interior. Also I’m gonna have to go with the pierce arrow, and then the Franklin or Packard

I’ll take them all. 👍

What is the wild looking black vehicle next to this gorgeous Caddy? (on the driver’s side)

Gorgeous car. I've always loved Cadillacs and I own one presently. Just a question. If the car is sold on consignment, do you have to get permission from the owner? Always wondered and I thought I'd ask.

That is a car to be driven in, not driven, that is for the help... 30 Piece Arrow (in a whole different class) 30 Cord

Did I notice the Batmobile next to it?

Ginormous 😊

AT 21:47 they all look alike ...

WYR: Cadillac, Cord. You should look for the earlier version of "Do Ya" by The Move, ELO's predecessor band; it has a very raw and edgy tone which rocks even harder than this one.

I think the upholstery in that car is gorgeous! I would still rather have a Packard.

In The City - Eagles

Bakelite, two-piece distributor cap. Chrome air filter cap.

Cadillac all the way

All the above.

Try to park that beast in your today's garage. Lol

Is this car the Madame X or is that a different Cadillac?

Elo do ya want my love is the song and that’s a beautiful Cadillac I’ll take it and the Packard for the WYR

Keep in mind that premium cars of this era were very rarely driven by their owners!!!

Bloopers were funny J

Pierce Arrow Franklin

Cadi-Franklin .

WYR. Although might not be the best car. I have to go with the Auburn great great grand parents hav3 Ekhart buggy and carriage dealer ship which later sold Auburn cars pre EL Cord days

I am shocked. This is the first time I have heard of a cadillac having a more comfortable seat in the front. Jay I will not question your assessment. I have to laugh because assessment starts with ass.
