Please note: network ad buys now often have audience size guarantees. If the audience is smaller than guarantee, the network ends having to make-good with free spots on other programs.

Be a real shame if NBC had to run a year-long fire sale on their ad inventory due to this

V6? Don't make me laugh. V8? Mid. V12? Wannabe. Today #DavesCarIDService salutes the V16 - starting with a happy birthday to the OG Cadillac OHV V16. Introduced January 4, 1930, this bad boy was Caddy's top of the line power plant throughout the Great Depression.

It was Cadillac's answer to Packard's "Twin Six" V12 that set the standard for no-holds-barred luxury car cylinder excess in the 1920s. The development cost was astronomical. Only 4000 were ever made, and all those cars are very collectible today. And all lost money for Cadillac and GM, but no biggy - it was purely a prestige play.Image
Image
While Cadillac's V16 was the first offered in a passenger car, it wasn't the first one produced by a car maker. That distinction belongs to the Duesenberg brothers, who developed the beauty Model H (#1) as an aircraft engine during WW1.

Caddy's moonshot in the Cylinder Wars would not go unchallenged. Down the road in Indianapolis, rival luxury car maker Marmon quickly debuted their own V16 (#2) in 1931. These are much rarer than the Cadillac, with only 6 survivors known. Oddly one of them is in a hot rod (#3, #4).Image
Image

Image
A couple of notes here:

1. "That Marmon is only a V10!" Wrong. When looking at an engine count the spark plugs, not the exhaust ports. The two outside pipes are dedicated to 1 cylinder, the 3 inside pipes are shared by 2 cylinders.

2. While most all V8s have 90 degree cylinder banks, Vs with more cylinders generally have much narrower V angles in order to run smoothly. The Cadillac V16 only has 45 degree V angle.

A happy #davescaridservice Winter Solstice to all who celebrate! I don't, because frankly the whole winter business is not my cup of tea. Literally leaves me cold, not unlike this unfortunate 1959 Buick convertible in a vintage LIFE magazine shot. Image
On the upside, at least the sunset has stopped receding, and the coming snow and ice give me a chance to hone my car ID chops. But not even the brutal snows of Chicago can obscure the mighty tailfins of a 1959 Cadillac 4 door hardtop. Image
How do you get to Carnegie Hall? Shovel, shovel, shovel.

This shot from 1960 NYC by Robert Doisneau shows French cellist Maurice Baquet trying to open the door to his 1957 Oldsmobile. Best hail a cab Mo, lest you want to play your big fiddle with frostbite. Image
