I got these from a limo repair shop. History unknown. Not pictured but I have the sliding doors for one of them.

Any info on a maker or era? Very heavy.

Did Cadillac buy bulk stuff like this and put logos on to sell to dealerships? Or just something someone did? I suspect the 1x1 tops are not original but I know nothing of this stuff.

I worked at a Cadillac dealer in the late 1960s-early 1970s. The older guys in service had the big merchandiser "Alemite" cabinets and us newer guys had work benches similar to what you have. There were no Cadillac or GM markings on any of them. The work benches we had were made by Shure but weren't exactly the same as yours. Ours had heavy metal work surface tops.

These are Shure Manufacturing benches, most likely from the 70's. The company still makes this style bench.

Thanks guys. Someone also identified them as Shure on garage journal. Said they were like $2,500 new these days, for their current version.
