Also , V16 :-0 I usually don’t pay attention til 1940s cars but I’m liking and learning more about the 30s and seeing how evolutionary jumps came out of experiments like this caddy.

@@Full_Otto_Bismarck Hi Joshua. A magneto doesn't replace an alternator (generator, in this case.) There could be other parts of the ignition system that cause electrical interference in modern electronics/radios, however if the spark plugs are not the restore type that's still the most likely source ... unless perhaps that metal cover acts as an effective RF shield (unlikely, since the hood and other metal sheets also don't block RF interference.)

Hi, Rick, Ernest Seaholm was my mother's uncle. The son of Swedish immigrants from Springfield, Mass, he was brilliant man, a self-taught engineer, and later after retiring from GM, Superintendant of the Birmingham Schools, which named its high school for him. I had a Peterson's publication around 1972 that had an article on the V16 Cadillacs with a photo of Uncle Ernest. His younger brother Oscar, to whom I was quite close, was flipping through the magazine and was floored to see his older brother on the page. Ernest also sent all his nieces and nephews to college during the Depression, which is how my mother met my father. In a sense, I owe my very exisitence to the V16 Cadillacs!

There's a vast difference between vehicles owned by enthusiasts and vehicles owned by collectors/entrepreneurs. True enthusiasts keep, at least the bulk of, their collection road-worthy. Collectors/entrepreneurs are typically rarely more than less damaging purveyors of what many consider to be 'barn finds'. In other words, 'collecting dust' is still just 'collecting dust'. Many vehicles left in a barn were probably in just as good condition when first parked as those left to rot, unused, in a museum. Bravo to those of you that invest so much time, love and money into keeping these vehicles roadworthy.

Since I can't "officially" give you more than one thumb up here, I'll do it like this... 👍👍👍👍👍 If I were to win the lottery, I'd have one of these built out of carbon fiber wherever applicable and have a modern 800+ hp engine in it. Beautiful doesn't come near to how this car looks.

I think the flywheel on these engines weighs about 60-70 pounds. Once that was spinning, the motor didn’t need to spin faster…the inertia from just the flywheel did all the work. Amazing cars…amazing era….American perfection

I worked at the Ontario Island retreat for a few day's ..... quite a place..... it was then I heard about their car collection. I must still go and visit the place... I have seen it a few times on TV... and recognized it by it's massive front entry doors... A very enjoyable few days working on the island for sure.... almost like a Bond Island retreat.

When built, this 1930 Cadillac was all about new technology, and it was beautifully executed, almost art. As we go green, I would be hard pressed to say the same thing about most new heat pumps and low-flow toilets. Would that we had a little more of the 1930's sense of style.
@wyskass8612 жыл бұрын
There is nothing inherently ugly about energy efficient heat pumps or low flow toilets. It's up to the designer to make something look beautiful, and has nothing to do with the devices purpose. Don't conflate the two

@@wyskass861 agree and disagree. Generally speaking, once a technology is mostly perfected, it puts designers in a bit of a box where their creativity is greatly limited. There is a reason why so many crossovers look very similar, particularly at a glance. Efficiency of inside space, aerodynamics, and a million safety regulations greatly limit a designers ability to make something very unique and beautiful. Occasionally they overcome this, but generally they do not.

Keep in mind this work of automotive art originalky cost between $5,350 -$9,000 depending on level of customization at a time when the average home cost $1,500. Today such works of automobile art could be created if there was a mass market for an automobile that costs 3.5 - 6 times what the average home costs today.

The timing of your advice sucks though. But I'm sure I'll get another chance to drive a V-16 Cadillac very soon. I've passed on at least two dozen chances to do that this year alone. Who are you talking to in your videos? When are any of us schmucks who watch your videos going to get a chance to be anywhere NEAR one of those let lone drive one?
