    Cadillac Fleetwood Series 60, 1949

    Cadillac Fleetwood 60, 1949

    The year 1949 saw the production of Cadillac #1,000,000 and for the first time V8 engines became available with overhead valves. Special for 1949 was also the first time ever production of a pillar-less hardtop version, of which 2150 were produced. The more common 4-door limousine was fitted with a 5424 cc V8, delivering 160 BHP and allowing for a topspeed of 160 kph. Shown is a car originating from Texas, but now in Dutch ownership and present at the 2004 Concours d’Elegance at the Loo.

    I sure would like to go for a drive (or be driven) in a 1940s Cadillac. The oldest one I've rode in is a 1960 Coupe de Ville my parents owned.
    I would assume the '40s Cadillacs were very quiet and had a smooth ride.
    Someone at a car show started up his 1941 Cadillac... very quiet; couldn't even hear the engine running.
