Teach me everything you know about Cadillacs from 1959 and before
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QGLNk4soZIw
they made a v16
>>14758354
They sell for ridiculously cheap after 10 years
There are a lot of songs about Cadillacs
oh shit i never noticed how the regalia was so ciel-like
at least i think the ingame car is called the regalia, although maybe that was the brand name and not the model name
15 has really damn cool car designs though
>>14758354
They were great
then they were still great
then they were kinda meh
then they were quite bad
then I really
>>14760742
REALLY started to like them
>>14758354
>boat """"""""""""""cars"""""""""""
hahahahahaaaaaaaa
and now I own one
but I think they
>>14760754
kinda lost their way and started pursuing fads
but maybe they are stepping back to take a leap forward
>necessary additional marketing buzzwords
And they intend to turn "Escalade" into a separate brand
>>14758354
Great rally cars
>>14758377
true that. I bought a 2004 deville in 2012 for 3500, it started breaking down all the time and got up to 200k miles so I sold it for 1500.
>>14760740
it might not look great but the pre-northstar cadillacs are very reliable and comfy
>>14761008
As is the STS, but it also handles well and has an awesome technology package (at the time) in it.
>>14760991
The one faggot who can't read posts a 70s era Brougham.
>>14760991
What the hell? where was that used? pimps caddy out there in the rally just seems odd.
Did it actually win any races?

>sell cheap
No, they don't retard. Pic related is $390,500. And unlike muscle cars that value isn't propped up by nostalgia. These have that value in Asian and European auction markets.

That's stupid
It's like when dodge tried to turn ram and SRT into separate brands
Definition of the luxury and modernity. This applies to all American pre- war cars.

>>14761074
I can actually agree with that if they make at least 2 other models to go in this new "brand".
The original Escalade.
Some other model made for heave-duty luxury off-road like the Range Rover.
A smaller SUV than the Escalade.
and maybe something extreme like a huge ass truck like the Mercedes 6x6 (although it probably wouldn't be a 6 wheeler) just something huge big and flashy to draw attention to the new Escalade brand.
If they just make it with one car than that is just a waste of time (not to mention added confusion) although maybe Caddy wants to shake ties with GM and at least look like an independent brand with their own premium luxury dealerships away from GMC and Chevy.
The Escalade is one of the few cars that doesn't exactly have Cadillac's design language and is the most criticized for being just a re-badge upscale Tahoe
Sold for $231,000
1931 Cadillac V-12 Convertible Coupe by Fleetwood
I would kill for a modern American V12. The closest we got was the Aston Martin V12s based on Ford V6 designs.
>>14758377
Most luxury cars do anon.
BMW, Mercedes, their value plummets almost immediately.
>>14758371
They made *the* v16 anon
The first production V16 car

>I would kill for a modern American V12
Same here.
>The closest we got was the Aston Martin V12s based on Ford V6 designs.
Really? what Ford V6s? i heard some of Ford V6s are based on mazda's design.
>>14761149
As well as the first mass produced v8. Anyone have the picture of all of Cadillacs technical achievements? Cadillac certainly can be described as an amazingly innovative company
>>14761151
Aston's Pre 5.2 Turbo V12s were based on the 3.0 L Duratec V6.

I WISH!
2nd gen CTS-V are still 45K+
>>14766569
And manual wagons are proper unicorns.
>>14766569
Buy a normal one for cheap and swap it yourself.
>>14766881
I used to think these were cool until I saw one IRL and gasped at how cheap and disproportional it looks.
>>14766934
The engine is not the only difference, that would be fucking cheap
>>14766943
It's a wagon, they're disproportional by nature.
>>14767032
Has the visibility of a Camaro.
>>14767033
m8 plz
>>14767032
The contrast between the angle of the side glass and the angle of the roof looks weird to me. They seem to clash.
I own one of the few 2nd gen CTSes in Europe. And I've just fucking scraped my wheel on a curb. How do you fix chrome wheels?
>>14761070
>And unlike muscle cars that value isn't propped up by nostalgia.
Most of it still is. You can buy SIX mint '50s Rolls-Royces for the same money as that Caddy. The '59 is merely the automotive personification of rock'n'roll and Route 66 fandom.

That was an April Fool's article.

>hey guys we have to think of a Cadillac innovation of the present for our website
>I know, let's just take the touchscreen, people love touchscreens nowadays
>>14768481
oh... fuck that day
>>14762541
>>14768490
That made me cringe.
CUE is not just a non-innovation, it's one of the most sluggish and shitty touchscreen implementations on the market.
I want an STS V.
My favorite modem Cadillac. CTS looks a bit stubby to me
>>14767061
Probably the thickest c-pillar of any wagon.
That picture didn't prove him wrong anon.
