Jehovah's grand chariot picks them up and drops them off.

What would a true messenger of god doing riding in that to the conventions , you would think he would be riding on top of
a donkey in a chaste and humble way.
Joe on the other hand was a king of a kingdom.
Power , money , prestige , respect and honor from subordinates,
Judge Rutherford was indeed a successful man, unfortunately all at a terrible cost to humanity .

I remember a Awake magazine article about automobiles that was published either in 2000 or 2001 or2. It has the Supreme Court building on the cover. It has a photo of a 16 cylender Cadillac and no other than Judge Ruderford standing behind it. It was similar to the photo P-S sent. P-S, I hope you find that issue.

Thanks,

Probably, the F-14 Tomcat is stronger than Jehovah's chariot, IMO.
The U.S. navy will defeat it thoroughly.
Well, that price is 38 million dollars! -

I just got my latest Hemmings motor news (auto collector news mag). There are usually about 2 or 3 of the big V12 and V16 Cadillacs up for auction - and it is very hard to say what one really brings in today's troubled times. Market as a whole is off by about 1/3 and is not showing signs of recovery anytime soon.
I would think that one of the 1930s era V16 models with an attractive body and good restored show condition would go for about $275,000 USD. Previously owned by da Judge would not mean much of anything to a collector today - Al Capone, maybe - but not this forgotten religious nut.
The really big money in 20s and 30s classics is reserved for the special bodied Packard, Duesenberg, Rolls-Royce, Hispano Suiza and such.
Incidentally, I put up this car (BTW weren't there actually two; the sedan and a convertible coupe?) on the antiques section of my Ferrari site trying to see if it could still be around and have not had any response...maybe time to try that again. If anybody has a picture of the other one, put it up here and I will ask around.

Yes, there were two v16s: a sedan and a convertible coupe.
Da Judge claimed these were reserved for the exclusive use of the resurrected ancients. As I have pointed out before a Cadillac convertible is not exactly the ideal car to haul around a dozen guys like Abraham, David, Solomon, Exekiel, et.al. so they could be on a panel to answer questions. A bus would have been a more practical choice.
Of course we know what the Judge said about those cars were to be used for was total bullshit. And so did he while he was tooling around with the top down and a jug of whiskey in his hand, laughing his ass off.

This appears to be the convertible JWood , it would be very interesting if either of those Cadillacs could be found .

The Touring Sedan might be similar to this one
Most of these expensive luxury cars were sold and passed on to other people who could afford them
and they too had the means to maintain them and keep them up.
Of course there also the ones that didn't get cared for and were eventually destroyed or used for parts
to keep others up and going.
I sure wouldn't mind having that convertible to play around with.
Your right JWood though in being the ones that are still around and beautifully restored to be valued in the $ 200,000 range.

Neither would I...but of course it is not now nor ever will be the glory 7 figure car that a Bugatti or Duesenberg of the same era is.
Interestingly, there is one coming up for auction in September - said to have something they call the "Madame X" style town car. I think it came from the name of a movie it was used in??? Usually the really good cars will have something of a provenance - and maybe here somebody will uncover the Judgemobile. Probably the only other possibility would be knowing the works or chassis number and working back from that with one of the club registries.
BTW, maybe "Madame X" would have kind of been a fit for the judge and his secretaries.
