Dec. 27, 1923. "Don Lee Cadillac agency, corner Van Ness & O'Farrell." And a Model V-63 Phaeton, approximating closed-car comfort with a variation on the "California top." 5x7 glass negative by Christopher Helin. View full size.
... that my dad's cousin owned in the '60s: a gorgeous blue Model 62 touring car that started my lifelong fascination with antique automobiles.
Wow! Impressive sculpture over the door of the building.
I'm trying to buy a '21 Franklin with this kind of body. It has a "California top" with removable window side panels. In the Franklin case (and others) this was called a "demi-sedan" It could be stripped down to make a touring car in the summer and panels added to create a semi-snug semi-sedan for winter time.
Hey, it looks like it even had front-wheel brakes! Very rare in '23.
