The top height on this era of cars just blows me away. Thinking in that vein, I wonder if they somehow used sail power when the wind was up:D
This land cruiser is a 1909 Cadillac Model 30. The model 30 was introduced by Cadillac in 1908. Cadillac was acquired by General Motors in 1909 and for the next 5 years the Model 30 was the only one offered by Cadillac, but it did come in a few different variations of body styles and seating arrangements. Starting in 1915, Cadillac again offered an enclosed car.
This car has a 226 C.I. engine putting out 30 HP. Interestingly, a windshield was an option on the car. Of particular interest to me is that air-pump arrangement on the drivers side that apparently delivers a good blast of air to drive that tuba-sized horn.

I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

What really appeals to me about these old cars is the character each one possessed. As the years rolled along, cars lost a lot of their individualism and, today, we have nothing but a bunch of sterile clones to ride around in. Thank goodness for those few manufacturers who are willing to put out a car with character.
