For one point, provide year, make, and coachbuilder of this elegant sedan

[Fёdor]

American car

[sixtee5cuda]

Yes, this car was built in the U.S.A.

[Fёdor]

Barley

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Barley

[Fёdor]

Bay State

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Bay State

[Fёdor]

Commonwealth

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Commonwealth

To narrow it down, this make of car is still being produced.

[sixtee5cuda]

Any more ideas from the Experts?

[FrontMan]

.......does it have a Knight engine?

[sixtee5cuda]

Not a Knight engine

[D-type]

Still being produced  . . .  let's try Cadillac?

[sixtee5cuda]

LOCKED for D-type

This is in fact, a Cadillac.

Now you just need to find the year and coachbuilder.

[sixtee5cuda]

Hmmm.  D-type disappeared.  Unlocked, if any Experts know this car.

[D-type]

Whoops!  I missed this lock.  Never mind - leave it unlocked as I haven't a clue.

[D-type]

A random guess: a 1925 Cadillac V-63  Town Car

[sixtee5cuda]

This is a 1924 Cadillac.  Not sure about the model name.

Now, can you find the coachbuilder?

[luisps]

FLEETWOOD?

[barrett]

There is some similarity to Judkins-bodied Cadillacs, but I can't confirm if this is one...

[sixtee5cuda]

Not Judkins
Not Fleetwood

[sixtee5cuda]

Up it goes!

Pro's?

[pnegyesi]

American coachbuilder?

[Paul Jaray]

Inglis M. Uppercu's '24 Cadillac, from New York.

[sixtee5cuda]

LOCKED for Paul Jaray

This is a 1924 Cadillac, which was likely designed and sold by Inglis M. Uppercu.

It is a small step to name the coachbuilder which made bodies for Uppercu for many years.
