We know you love your Escalades, but you can't really get more gangsta than this. Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan is going under the hammer on Saturday, July 28, 2012, at RM Auctions. If you think you have what it takes to be the number one gangster in the 1920s, you'd better be prepared to spend between $300,000-$500,000, because this is the estimate price of Al Capone's Cadillac Town Sedan. This 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan is powered by a 341 cu. in. L-head V8 engine, with an output of 90 bhp, which is mated to a three-speed manual transmission. The car comes with leaf springs, mechanical drum brakes on all four corners and it has a 140" wheelbase. The car has complete history records since back in 1932.
Al Capone's 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan is one of the first armored cars in history. It has glass almost an inch thick and almost 3,000 pounds of armor plating. Its rear window drops in an instant to allow passengers to shoot their pursuers. The origins of the vehicle have never been questioned. The fact that Al Capone actually owned this vehicle was confirmed by the period's newspapers, the IRS and the car's second owner.
