Cadillac single-cylinder Models K and M
|
Model K
Basically unchanged frfm 1906,
the 1907 single-cylinder Model K runabout and Model M Victoria retained
their distinctive and
gracious charm of the previous year; only the "box" shape of the Gray and Davis
brass side lamps enable the casual observer
to distinguish between the two years; base price of the runabout was $800, while the
Victoria light touring sold for $950
The standard color for all the
single-cylinder models in 1907
was Brewster green upper with red lower; black pinstriping highlighted the wheels and
lower body.

New for
1907 was this Model M light touring car with so-called "straight-line"
body On January 16, 1907, the
automobile magazine, Horseless Age, listed the year's new models as

Cadillac four-cylinder Models G & H
New for 1907 were the Model G
runabout and touring car, each priced at $2000; the runabout resembled closely its
counterpart Model H
of the previous year; it received new, downward sweeping rear fenders; the Model
G touring car was an all-new design with a straight-line
body resembling the four-cylinder Model D of 1905; body and running gear of both
cars were finished in two shades of the
ever popular Brewster green, the lighter tint being applied to the lower body; the latter
was also highlighted with white pinstriping;
Gray and Davis brass lamps continued to be offered at extra cost on both models; the body
of the lamp was now cube shaped instead of cylindrical

Cadillac four-cylinder Model H
The touring car (left) was made
less ornate around the rear body and side entrance doors; it was priced at $2500, that is
$1250 less than the
Model L touring car of the previous year; optionally available for an extra $150
was Cadillac's cape cart top; the all new Model H limousine
on the right quite clearly was a toned-down version of the highly ornate Model L
limousine of 1906; the quarter windows were lengthened, which
- while diminishing somewhat the privacy of the rear compartment occupants - gave
the heavy limousine a more balanced appearance; like the
Model G, above, body and running gear of both cars were finished in two
shades of Brewster green; white pinstriping was applied only to the
lower body; this year the price was down by $1400 to a more affordable (in 1907?)
$3600; brass lamps remained optional items at extra cost

 Cadillac's first semi-enclosed limousine, forebear of the renowned "Series 75", at $5000 (FOB Detroit), the big limousine probably found few buyers |
