I wouldn't think they'd have a caddy flattie in this old restored touring. It doesn't exactly scream hotrod, but I suppose you never know.

So, here's a refresher picture of a flathead Caddy. Note the distributor on the rear of the engine instead of the front like the one pictured above...

Nope not a rip off, it was all original, donated by the family of the original owner I think to the car club, then they restored it, and gave it to the Historical society and it spends its days drained of fluid out in Bismarck.

And I don't know what years Olds had it other than 1916, but then again I never even knew Olds had a flathead V8, let alone a V8 in 1916.
