LikesOldMacsA fun #marchintosh surprise from @csilverman 😁 what fun and thank you!!
We got to experience this unusual Mac for a few hours before (predictably) the barrel jack gave up on this 5300-based machine. HD imaging and some touch-up work on the docket! 🤞

Morgan Aldridge@falken @likesoldmacs @csilverman Yeah, somewhere between the early #AppleNewton 'Cadillac' #prototype and an #eMate300 (sans keyboard), if it had been in the PowerBook color palette.
See @splorp's photos of the 'Cadillac':

Newton “Cadillac” Prototype
A functioning prototype of the larger, tablet-style Newton. Sonny Hung also has images of the OS running on this device in this set. This item is part of a collection obtained from Russ Uzes, October 2004. Russ originally purchased it on eBay from a company called Mac-Pro Systems. When asked about the device’s history, they told him … “We just found the Cadillac in a box of stuff in the office. We have no idea where it came from.”
