To Harvey Goranson for closed car bodies.
Hello Harvey, you're absolutely right. Renault was the first manufacturer worldwide to close a car body, as a coupe body. Thank you very much for your info cause I didn't know about it. What I meant was more that Caddy was the first, apparently in 1910 and after the Osceola model in 1905, to introduce this body style into a standard equipment on regular basis.
There were so many bodies at the time, and so many coachbuilders that have worked on car bodies until the 30's as well as for Cadillac that most of the models were produced at a very limited number, sometime unique. Quite complicated to figure everything 😉
