Al Capone's 1928 Bulletproof Cadillac

[@navarrov]

The craftsmanship and attention to detail is incredible. Still puts modern cars to shame imo. Gorgeous

[@GeorgeVreelandHill]

Al Capone traveled in style and safety. Gorgeous car.

[@jankjason]

Was it considered style back then?

@@iKapJloc money dictates what is stylish... Unfortunately it could be downright ugly, the only people the people who would care care about caring (that was a mouthful) would be those that have the influence to attract the attention of the manufacturer.

[@Akinto710]

@@jankjason The reason Al Capone drove this car was because the Chicago Police bought these for their fleet. So to stay on the down low, Al Capone bought an identical one to not seem suspicious and got it fitted with bullet proof glass, steel all around, and police siren, lights, and radio. Now a days a car like this is of course crazy different, but at the time, it would be like if he bought a Ford Crown Vic

[@jankjason]

I wasn't questioning that, I as simply curious whether this car in particular was more stylish than most others around the time.

Dont think this is "the" real car unless there was more than one, certified one sold at auction had a V16 engine to pull the seven tons of weight with armor plating - it was longer/lower and had gun ports cut in the back side windows, special tires and pres. Roosevelt ended up using it for a time after Al went to prison. Otherwise this is an extremely nice car.

[@creigy2586]

You have no idea what you’re talking about. Roosevelt used it? What a fucking moron. Lmao

[@Volkswagenitalia.]

@@jamesshelly5557 I believe that after Capone was imprisoned, the car switched hands at least once or twice. There’s documentation out there that the person who ended up restoring it did remove the armored plating and modified it to be, well, not AS much of a tank

I do not know if this is the Cadillac they came out of or not but my mother's uncle worked at the Cadillac dealership in Illinois when Al Capone traded in one of his Cadillacs he left the lead crystal vases that used to be in the back one on each side when my mother went to visit him in Chicago her uncle gave her the lead crystal vases or sconces whatever you call them their lead crystals and very intricate engraving on them they had to have cost a lot of money I do not think there was too many people that could afford such luxury during them times I'm trying to find pictures or some way to authenticate them my mother and her uncle are both deceased now if there is anybody out there that could figure out or help me to authenticate these I would really appreciate it they are really something spectacular when you see them compared to all the other ones from them times

[@Huh_yrge]

Yes the whole car is Bulletproof

[@shikat2371]

Bear in mind that Capone's 1928 bulletproof Cadillac won't be that bulletproof anymore when you consider that his car was built years before the .357 & the .44 Magnum cartridges were invented. Sure, it can withstand the .38 Special, 9mm, .380 acp, and .45 acp rounds. Those cartridges were around for many years before his bulletproof Cadillac was built. However, his car may need armor upgrading since the .44, .500, and even .357 magnum rounds might prove to be too much for Capone's 1928 bulletproof Cadillac to handle. Just my $0.02.

[@badbob85037]

Don't forget about those new air soft rounds and those ceramic cop killing bullets

[@baychevy5105]

They had Tommy guns back then .45 CAL

[@ghostface1529]

Actually if the steel plating was up the 30.06 would punch through it as in the 30s the colt monitor(a civilian law enforcement version of the BAR machine gun) was employed by the FBI so with the steel plating down it would stop that rifle round but up it might not

[@jordanhicks5131]

@@baychevy5105 45 sucks ass at beating armor or really any barrier at all due to its fat bullet and slow speed, it's a pretty "meh" round.

[@thatxonexguy5438]

Hmmmm i wonder what its rating is. Rifle rounds like the 30-06 were around at the time, so i wonder if its rated for that too? If so i imagine a 44 or 357 wouldnt even dent it.

Dream car yet you'd change so much of it. And they were silent when new, it's just been oh a good 93 years new genius.

We have the same dream, or very similar. My fantasy would be cars made that have some of the mechanical and technical advantages of cars now, but that look and have the comforts of, as much as possible, cars from, say, the 1930s. My own personal dream car would be something along the lines of a 1935-1940 Packard. I actually think about such things, so it’s nice to know someone else does too.

@Bd Smith And where does infiniti come from genius..? You didn't even understand what I said lmao, probably too dumb for that. But doesn't surprise me coming from a guy who didn't even get that my first comment was ironic. I said an N/A car, which means naturally aspirated, is gonna be slow with 200hp, because it will only have 200nm of torque, when a 200+hp turbo car will have 300. The BRZ has a severe lack of power and it's well known. Every fucking review of the car says it. But you're just pissed off by the truth and don't wanna admit it, how cute is that. Now keep typing your bullshit alone, I won't answer again, because I repeat, so that your little brain can get it, that's not the initial debate.

@@randyedwards3244 Hope so !

[@ApartmentKing66]

Actually, there's another video where the guy who has it shows all of the steel panels and where they're stored. There were 6 steel panels (all 4 windows, windshield and back window) that were hinged and swung down from the ceiling (which itself was armored) and had gun ports in them for sticking a gun barrel out of and the floor was armor plated too. The floor also had a trap door for dropping sharp objects onto the road in case they wanted to try to flatten the tires of a pursuit car. The gas tank in the back also had a steel plate mounted around the rear so that bullets couldn't penetrate it. The car was practically a rolling fortress. The only things that didn't look like they were protected were the tires and engine.
