Thank you for no music!

Noisy engine. Flatheads were normally quiet.

Maravilhoso exagero.

What do you mean by "almost opposed cylinders”?

BEAUTIFUL CAR AND AN EXCELLENT VIDEO

Fantastic

Cadillac: Standard of the World

Sound smooth as silk

An “L” head engine is a flat head - the V16 is an overhead valve - wow man😮

For a high end car like this what happened to the radio??

Que trompa tan bella color hermoso. Sobrio y elegante sobretodo eran para disfrutarlos desde atrás , despacio .

01:31 "Isn't it somthin'? This is beautifully resored to a concord level." ... Then he slams the door so hard the windows rattle and shake. What's up with that?

come mas combustible que un tanque de la segunda guerra mundial...

Thank you so much for this great car presentation--it made me smile just going along with you for a ride...What a car--I felt like I was driving it...it must have had power steering as you didn't seem to strain yourself steering behemoth...Thank you so much for the experience....

That is 1938 Cadillac 75 series, the 39 had what they called the water fall grill, my 1939 LaSalle had the same like design. 1938 body design is also my favorite I love the grill.

Please tell me what that is on the firewall, passenger side. Looks like a soup can with a T handle on top. A metal line and a 90 degree fitting screwed into the side near the top.

I once tuned up a couple of older cars with the V configurations that a distributor at both ends.

TO BAD THEY DID NOT EXPLAIN THE DIFFERENCE IN THE 2 V 16 ENGINES ,THE PREVIOUS ENGINE WAS MUCH MORE EXPENSIVE TO MANUFACTURE AND THIS ONE IS LIKE THEIR V8 FLATHEAD'S. MUCH QUIETER AS WELL AS THE VALVES ARE IN THE BLOCK.THEY ONLY MADE THIS ENGINE FOR 2 YRS NO V16'S AFTER 1940. THE VIDEO OF THE ENGINE WAS LIMITED BECAUSE THE HOOD ONLY OPENED FOR THE TOP AS VERSUS THE OLD CARS THE HOOD OPENED COMPLETE SIDES AND TOP.

It is a beautiful car, but I can do without his boasting bordering bragging.

BEAUTIFUL CAR!!! GREAT VIDEO ONLY THE BEARINGS NOSE THE SIXTEN IT VERY SILENCE ? REPAIR BEFORE MAKE VIDEO

Cuando Lincoln todavía no era Ford, creo.

I always wondered if the series 90 Cadillacs would've gone down the same assembly lines as the series 75's or LaSalles? Or were they done off to the side as a bespoke built to order thing? Also curious where V16 engines were built or blocks cast? Also transmission options back then? Its really hard to find good detailed info about these gorgeous vehicles.

The girl doesn't look like a 39 it looks more like a 38. Doesn't a 39 1/2 grills sloping down a front fender to on either side of the the grill. I've seen more 38 and that drill looks more like a 38 rhan a 39.

The Caddy has all of the opulence of a Ford Pinto when compared to a Packard of the same era.

Best video in a while, no stupid loud music, very impressive everything, if you're into cars.

Put a super charger on it! 400 hp!

I liked seeing the car sitting still and rolling, but the guy repeated himself constantly about how wonderful the car was. Also, I was amazed that the program didn't show the actually lowering of the top, which would have been fun and informative to watch. We don't even know whether the top was powered or manual

Nicely done video. Would have been nicer with higher resolution camera, though. Wonderful automobile.

I suppose near the end of the depression, that was the closest thing to a deusenburg.

dry belts

You sure that's not a '38?

Looks like a flathead 16 with twin carbs.😎

Kent, he is right- make more videos; I do like your style of presentation and narration; Very well done 😊👍👍👍

Lovely motor car I like my Bentley better

Now that is a Touring Dream Car! Absolutely Beautiful! Thanks for sharing!

Why is that car out in the snow?

Are you 30 or 60? It's difficult to tell...

это что за газбалоны под капотом?

Didn't Mae West have one of those? Beautiful car! If I drove it I'd be smiling too.

@ 0:44 Those louvers behind the grille aren't just for cosmetics. They are the engine temperature control mechanism that high end car makers used before the thermostatic valve was invented. The louvers were closed when the engine was first started and then opened up after it reached operating temperature to let air flow through the radiator. Technically, Fleetwood was owned by Fisher Body Division, not Cadillac Division, but Fisher bought it to work exclusively on higher end Cadillacs like the Series 90.

A beautiful car. I have a "baby" 1936 Cadillac Series 60 Touring Sedan. The engine noise is probably due to the fact that the microphone picked up a lot of mechanical noise that you wouldn't hear if you were standing next to the car. The V-8 flatheads replaced the V-12 in 1937 and the V-16 in 1941. They could get almost as much power out of the 346 and it remained in production until 1948. In 1949, the OHV engine came out and Cadillac and Oldsmobile had a leg up on everybody.

When the late V-16s were new and when they are properly restored the only engine noise is from the radiator fan. This noisy clunker is an insult to what these cars really are.

What a beauty. I prefer the series 2 90's myself. Especially the big limousine bodied ones with the extra jump seats in the back. 39 is also my favorite year too.

Please make the banjo louder I can almost hear you.

Thanks to riddlemotors for making this video available. Enjoyed the ride with the cameraman and the inspection immensely. My father was a Cadillac specialist in his time in Melbourne, Australia. He began his apprenticeship in 1935 at a well renown garage. I have my doubts that he would have actually seen this model given their limited numbers. If he did he would know of the expertize that Cadillac went into with making this excellent car. He went into the second world war fixing and maintaining light aid vehicles for the Australian Imperial forces in Australia, Papua New Guinea and at the Solomon Islands. After the war ended in 1945 he went on years later to work for General Motors Holden, a division of General Motors in Australia and also other garages of high repute. Cadillac usually set the benchmark for the other makes in the General Motors family of divisions. cheers.

Great Car

He had a key ring and keys on the key ring! When the car is in motion the other keys will swing back and forth causes wear on the switch. This will make the car act up and you will have to look for a hard to find switch and have to take an expensive dash apart. DO NOT PUT A KEYRING ON ANY IGNITION KEY!

What a beauty. A convertible with four doors-cool.

magnificent job bro👌 best of luck✌
