Joan’s father taught Monty to weld, lead, fit and paint the precious historical icons of the golden age of the American car. They went on to continue their passion for muscle, sports and vintage automobiles.

In 1984, they focused their attention on the king of American luxury, the Cadillac. They now have four of these meticulously restored giants.

Their collection is comprised of a 1941 coupe, a 1942 limousine, a 1957 four-door and a pristine 1947 convertible. The ’57 had to go to make room for the ’47 convertible.

A 1947 Cadillac Derham Custom Limousine surfaced and the Voigts had to have it! It is the most unique of their collection of Caddys.

Only 1,005 ’47 model 7533s were built. It’s one of only 50 built with a three-speed transmission and is the only known survivor of Philadelphia Derham Coach Works.

The limo looks real sharp, surprised it wasn't stretched out tho?

i grew up in rochester, mn. home of the mayo clinic. during high school, i helped a friend clean out an old trucking garage and we came across a caddy limo that the mayo brothers used to own. seems to me it was late 40's vintage. that 47 looks awful familiar. not sure where it ended up. turns out a friend of my brother bought the warehouse and refurbished it and opened an auto body shop.
