He was driving around the bumps, oil, horse manure, etc., so as to keep the car clean and in pristine condition for a royal delivery.

Hi there
The American Film Institute (AFI) has a comprehensive website which should be of interest.
Best wishes

We've learned nothing in the last 100 years. The poor kids still starve while the rich kids drive around in tiny Cadillacs

Just found out it was electric and will be on show from September 17 in the ballroom of the Queen's Hotel, Crystal Palace, south London
the Baby Cadillac was capable of about 15 miles on one charge at speeds of up to 12mph.
Bought for £62 by Queen Alexandra. Though still owned by the Norwegian royal family, it is on permanent loan to the Norsk Teknisk Museum in Oslo which has agreed to its appearance in England.
Brum comes home.

I liked the shadow of the 'cameraman', doing the camera by hand.. :) At least he didn't have to worry about the batteries running out.. or memory space.. :) :)
