Here are some more views of the interior of the car, a period article and the initial sketch made by Saoutchik : the grille and front bumper were somewhat less heavy than the final result. Rumor has that the Royal family never paid that car, valued 22 000 dollas at the time ; this can be an indirect cause of the closure of Saoutchik…

And another V16, including a period pic. In this case the involvement of Saoutchik was limited to the construction of the hardtop with sunroof, and some adaptions of the interior to suit French taste, I think.

The second Cadillac Series 62 by Saoutchik, chassis #486237307. The body was identical to the first one, but the colour scheme was reversed. It was sold in Paris to Louis Ritter who shipped it to New York.
