Leake Auction Company<\/a> will offer a dozen classic Cadillacs without reserve during their fall auction in Dallas Market Hall, November 17-19. The collection features a variety of Cadillac models, including Eldorados and Series 62s.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1902, Cadillac became an icon of the American automotive industry, and for years represented the ultimate symbol of luxury. They were status symbols of wealth and power with celebrity owners like Elvis Presley and U.S. President Dwight Eisenhower, who rode to his inauguration in a 1953 Eldorado.<\/p>\n

One of the more notable cars<\/a> in the collection is a 1948 Cadillac Series 61 Sedanette Fastback, which marked the first appearance of fins on a Cadillac. It is one of 3,521 produced. After being restored by D. Howard of San Antonio, Richard Sevenoaks chased the vehicle for many years. His pursuit finally ended in November of 1998 when the Cadillac was auctioned in Dallas. It has remained in the Sevenoaks collection since that time.<\/p>\n

\u201cAs one of the oldest car companies worldwide, Cadillacs have always had a certain appeal to collectors with a discerning eye,\u201d said Richard Sevenoaks, president of Leake Auction Company<\/a>. \u201cThe classic lines and style of these vehicles is appreciated by generations of people. Growing up in this industry, my wife Nancy was always drawn to Cadillacs. Our 1948 was used in parades, weddings and photo shoots throughout Tulsa. She would pick the kids up from school and sporting events in it. It has resided in the Route 66 Museum since 2016, allowing visitors to enjoy its beauty.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Cadillac collection coming up for sale includes: a 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Tudor Convertible<\/a>; a 1941 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Sedan<\/a>; a 1947 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe<\/a>; a 1948 Cadillac Series 61 Sedanette Fastback<\/a>; a 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible<\/a>; a 1950 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible<\/a>; a 1951 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe<\/a> (above, photo courtesy of Leake Auctions); a 1954 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible<\/a>; a 1956 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe<\/a>; a 1957 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible Coupe<\/a>; a 1963 Cadillac Series 62 Convertible<\/a>; and a 1966 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible<\/a>.<\/p>\n
