    Yes. I beleive it is one of the Tremulis cars: You can see a glimpse of the rear-end treatment in your clip to compare: They are VERY similar: The collection by the way, is a part of the now well known James Petrozzini collection. I think Chicago area.

    The second car looks like a -35-36 Ford Roadster (-35ich rear fenders) with a split windshield grafted on … front fenders looks high with the headlight moulded in ? steering wheel looks out of place and side mirror , like someone would have started to work on an old custom in the 80ties , painted it and given up ? Hopefully there can be more pictures found eventually !

    Thanks Atle !

    Searching for James Petrozzini collection I found this thread on Jalopy journal with below outdoor pictures . Compering to the Tremulis pictures this one seems to be a series 61Ā  without the trunk hinges that series 62 has and also without the upper outside door hinge that series 75 have so that makes !

    In the link about :

    Custom Motors Inc., 1939-1940; Beverly Hills, California

    where the story about these Cadillaces are told !

    This one below is said to be a 1939 Series 60 special coupe , there were no series 60 coupes so a reworked series 60 4door , also supported by the sidewindow opening where the bottom edge is quite abit lower then the bottom edge of the windshield , not like series 75 convertible …

    Is this one a series 61 or 62 ? sidetrim but no sidevent , aka three different cars with same / similar front end treatments ??

    the mystery continues !

    Here are some pics of the second of the Bohman & Schwartz Cadillacs with extended front fenders and a similar headlight treatment. Personally, I think it looks really sharp.

    Photos are hard to find and these are “borrowed” from the “Cadillac database).

    Thanks Rik.

    I remenber those photos, especially that when it is masked for a repaint. I have no idea if it was built with those headlights and the extended fenders originally by Bohman & Schwartz or if they were later additions?
