About

On a busy corner of Ventura Boulevard in Sherman Oaks, California sits a gem of mid-20th century design. The Casa de Cadillac was built in 1948 and has been in continuous operation as an automotive dealership ever since. 

Designed by the architects Randall Duell and Phillip Conklin, the Casa de Cadillac is a well-preserved example of post-World War II car dealerships, an era when roadside America was on an optimistic upswing. 

In 2013, the current owners of Casa de Cadillac renovated the building, with support from the Los Angeles Conservancy, restoring it to its 1949 appearance. Walking up to the glass-enclosed showroom, you almost expect to see it filled with vintage cars from that era.
