Cadillac, 1925?

[sixtee5cuda]

Cadillac is probably right.  I think 1925 had more louvers in the hood.

Possibly a 1927 Cadillac Victoria Coupe

Possibly a 1927 Cadillac Victoria Coupe

It is a Cadillac Victoria Coupe, but neither 1925 nor 1927.
Locked for the two of you. Whoever finds the right model and model year first will get the point.

[fromwien]

May be it is a 1926 model, but I attached a picture and description of a car, which could be the identical puzzle car, named "Opera Coupe" 1925

[sixtee5cuda]

The attached image from Fromwien indicates it is both an Opera Coupe, and a Victoria Coupe.  There are several sources online with different images of this car, all claiming it is from 1925.  There is at least one more "1925" Cadillac listed online, with the small number of louvers on the hood.  Maybe different model numbers, or late-year production.

[Wendax]

Both of you are adding bits to the solution: It is a 1926 model (fromwien) and as it is a Victoria Coupe it must have been built late in 1925 (sixtee5cuda), because in January 1926 the bodies were modernized. I am still missing the model designation.

V 63

[Wendax]

No, that would be an earlier model

Sorry, following the discussion, I am getting not quite clear about the year of the puzzle car.
Within my first reply to the puzzle, I mentioned 1925. You answered with 'no'.
Later, I replied with '1926 model'. You agreed, but mentioned, ..' it must have been built late in 1925 (sixtee5cuda), because in January 1926 the bodies were modernized'..
Is '1925 (sixtee5cuda)' right, should be '1925 (fromwien)' also right, not wrong. But, is it right?
It just struck me that you never noticed 'sixtee5cuda's' first reply ('LaSalle'), but sat him in competition with me within his second reply, when he confirmed my first answer 'Cadillac'.
No problem at all, just wanted to get some clarity.

On the occasion to all fathers: Happy 'Father's Day' today

[Wendax]

As you surely might know, American cars are referred to by their model year which usually begins in the previous year. So to avoid confusion my interpretation of a question like "Cadillac, 1925?" without an additional "built in" is asking for a 1925 model. Noone would call a '57 Chevy built late in 1956 a '56 Chevy.

[fromwien]

To avoid misunderstandings, it would also have been possible to reply to the answer: 'Cadillac, 1925', with:
'Cadillac': 'Yes' and '1925': 'Please specify'
Since '1925' isn't fundamentally wrong. As can be seen by numerous entries of the puzzle-car on several brand-specific websites.

LaSalle?
