The Weirdest Car Cadillac Ever Designed | 1959 Cadillac Cyclone

[@AmeriCarsTV]

Hey everyone, I realized I forgot to include the conversion from inches to centimeters in the video. For reference (5:05), 104 inches is about 264 cm. I’ll make sure to include these conversions in future videos to make things easier for our viewers outside the U.S.!

Great video. Cadillac was really ahead of its time. It will be interesting to see how they do in F1.

[@AmeriCarsTV]

Thank you, I'm glad you liked it! Cadillac was definitely ahead of its time. Their F1 journey will be exciting to watch! 🚗

Probably sounded sweet with that Exhaust up front..🤔

[@AmeriCarsTV]

Definitely, no doubt about that!

The Cyclone Fins and Skags made it on to the 1961 and 62 Caddy which are my favorite years 💋

[@AmeriCarsTV]

The Cadillacs of that era are timeless! Thank you for your comment ✌️🚗

Those Dagmars!!! Shhhhhwiiiinnnggg!

Bubble canopies look cool, but are incredibly impractical for a car. A jet fighter plane maybe, but not a car. I don't care how much ventilation you got going through that thing, unless you have a massive air conditioner, that would never break down, the people inside would get baked. And not in a good way. Fighter jets can get away with bubble canopies because they need that all over visibility and they're not going to be in the air that long. Aircraft with bubble canopies and fairly long duration usually put some sort of a sun shield across the top of them. But like I said, they do look cool.

Great point! While bubble canopies look cool, yes, they’d probably be a nightmare in practice. Thanks for your comment! 🚗

It would actlook great, Sans the Dagmars, and Bubble top..😳

[@StupidEarthlings]

I know they 'represent' Jet Age at the time, but those taillights SCREAM Ford. (Well, maybe ford took the idea and used it in many production cars).🤔 Still, very Ford looking lights.

Interesting point! I get where you're coming from. Thank you for your comment! 🚗

So that it could burn itself to the ground?

​@@replica1052it is nice that you think so, but I am not sold on it. If you run out, can you walk back to the charging station for a bucket 🪣 of electricity? I would not have one if you paid me the outrageous price of it.
