  • Cadillac V16 update (video)



    I found this video from this spring, never had time to upload it. 1930 Cadillac V16. The car is currently on display in the Museum. AACA National Senior winner in 1975!

    Classy! Thanks for posting that. Sounds like 2 straight eights - no surprise there.

      nice one.
      that caddy is important.

      I noticed the skinny V, and beelined to wikipedia.
      sure enough.. the only 45 degree (real angle for v16).
      1930-1937.
      7.4 liters

      I bet it could idle 250.

      america has really only stayed normal to the 8 cyl.
      chevy did good with the flat 6 and crank..and tortured iot with bad air, but it is the only one with normal roatation.
      the v8 owned the world...still does.


      japan ends up making the 72 degree v10 (LFA)
      and the only world produced liquid flat four..



      I'd love to see a revival, classic math. Any american company.

      flat four and six,
      72 degree v10,
      benz crank 90 degree v8..
      lots of stuff gone by and not happening.

      throw that stuff inbetween some body on frame C-rails.

      the death rate and fairy tales cannot kill the nature left behind.
