:lol: True, Robert. There are eight people in the car. Kinda like phone booth stuffing in the 1950's :lol: I posted "seven passenger" as that was the usual designation for a body of this type; two in the front, three in the back, two in jump-seats (optional). I suppose it could be argued that the driver is not technically a "passenger" ? :lol:

They could fit a lot of folks in those Cadillacs. Here is a 1915 Cadillac Model 51. Looks the same to me.

There is the Ellis Hotel "following the 1909 fire in which only the Ellis Hotel was burned. It survived 24 years until 1933. In the early morning hours of December 1, 1933, a fire started in the back of Robison's Store, next to the hotel. The fire spread to the Ellis hotel, but they were the only two structures in the town to burn."

Yes, that is a caddy. A friend has a '17 rebuild on the go. There are more parts in that Caddy's rear axle/ diff assembly than in a whole Model T !

Yes it does look like a '15,first year for the Cadillac V-8 and longest running production V-8 in the world. 15 through 17 did not have a removable cylinder head.
