Very well documented car that has been preserved and cherished for nearly 100 years. This car has all owners documented all the way back to 11-30-1925 when it left the Cadillac factory. It was quickly put into service with the Conway Bros Sightseeing Service operating out of the Alamo Hotel in Colorado Springs, CO. From 1928 through 1935 this vehicle left the Hotel at 9:00 a.m. daily to transport tourists to the top of Pikes Peak and back. Around 1935 the rest of the Conway Bros fleet of vehicles were disposed of but this particular Cadillac was retained by the hotel, stored and maintained at the Markshefel Adams Cadillac Agency in Colorado Springs. The car continued to be used to about 1953, shuttling tourists from the railroad station to the Hotel and back. From 1953 to 1974 the car no longer was in daily use but stored by the Conway family in their own wing of the Markshefel Cadillac Agency. In 1974 it was acquired by a local auto enthusiast, lightly restored, and sold again after his passing. The next and last registered owner continued to enjoy the car in the Colorado Springs area until he was no longer able.Currently, the vehicle runs and drives excellent, and has completed many antique tours. Vehicle was reupholstered and repainted in 1976. Engine was fully rebuilt several years later, and again refreshed around 2002. Otherwise the car is original and well-maintained.
