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.
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).

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. 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.

I watched the Netflix movie "Carry-On" last night and my god it might be the worst thing I have ever watched I watched the whole thing, but the last 80% basically hate-watching to see how many ludicrous action movie tropes they could stuff into it

As the Thanksgiving weekend winds down and your leftovers disappear, I would like to commemorate the season in a very #DavesCarIDService way: with a salute to Mayflower-themed Plymouth and Native American-themed Pontiac.

#1: 1946 Plymouth hood crest
#2: 1929 Pontiac ornament
Both Plymouth and Pontiac were relative latecomers to car making, and both were corporate-created brands aimed at a similar market niche. GM created Pontiac in 1926 as a low priced companion brand to Oakland, and Chrysler created Plymouth in 1928 as a low price alternative to Dodge.

And they were both created with a distinct branding identity: Plymouth redolent of proud Mayflower pilgrims, and Pontiac of proud Native Americans. "Pontiac" actually comes the Michigan city where the plant was located, but they played the Native American connotations to the hilt.

Is there a German word for the hatred of other people enjoying things

I guess it would be freudeschaden

RIP to the great Jim Abrahams, of Zucker-Zucker-Abrahams fame. At the U of Wisconsin, they founded the Kentucky Fried Theater, that led to their first movie.

Later they returned to Madison and funded the absurdist Pail & Shovel Party to run for student government, with a campaign promise to bring the Statue of Liberty to campus. They made good on it with a replica on frozen Lake Mendota, and also installing over 1000 plastic pink flamingos on the campus quad.

Hail and farewell to a great Badger and a great prankster.
btw the movie "AIRPLANE!" was based on was the forgettable 1957 melodrama "ZERO HOUR!" It's apretty hilarious to watch now because you realize AIRPLANE! mostly follows it scene by scene but with added gags.

Only a few grocery shopping days left until Thanksgiving, so it's time for #DavesCarIDService to talk turkey!

The fate of this crated gobbler seems to be slowly dawning on him as his comrades are being unloaded from back of a 1947 Dodge 3/4 ton dually. *the above illustration was from a 1947 Dodge truck ad. The '30s to '50s were sort of a high watermark for the advertising illustration arts, especially around the holidays. I've been able to find several delightful ones featuring our dimwitted but delicious Thanksgiving dinner guests of honor, like this one for the stunning 1939 LaSalle. Like the turkey, LaSalle had a short lived future; the brand was retired by GM after the 1940 model year.

My pitch for the new Bond reboot, Die To Kill Again:

MI6 teams up with SPECTRE and assigns 007 a license to kill COWFART, a sinister organization of Cotswolds farmers hellbent on increasing global CO2 emissions by 0.000000023%

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha

I can't believe someone who makes $100k for a 30 minute Zoom call and $250k for a speaking engagement would turn down a chance to save a clown TV reality show created by her biggest haters

A happy #DavesCarIDService 95th birthday to Scuderia Ferrari, established Nov 16 1929 in Modena Italy. Not Ferrari the brand, but Ferrari the racing organization that was at first a semi-official arm of Alfa Romeo. Shown here in their 1932 yearbook photo, an Alfa 8c and 6C. Enzo Ferrari was still a successful racing driver of Alfa Romeos in 1929, and Alfa had its own in house racing arm, Alfa Corse. But by the late 20s the expense of a factory racing team was becoming untenable and Alfa was wavering on further support.

Ferrari, who had already been given an Alfa dealership in appreciation for his racing success, made a proposal: he would start his own scuderia (stable) to race Alfas under his banner. If he won the credit would go to Alfa, if he lost the blame would go to him. Alfa took him up on the proposal and offered support, including parts, a salary, and garage rent. To make a distinction between the bright red Alfa Corse racing cars, the first Scuderia Ferrari cars would be a darker burgundy red.

Enzo Ferrari would retire as a driver in 1932 after the birth of his son Dino to dedicate full time to his racing organization. That was also the first year the Ferrari prancing horse would appear on one of his racing Alfas, inspired by the one used on the SPAD S.XIII of Italian WW1 ace Francesco Baracca.

I'm not sure who needs to hear this but the government's absolute bungled lunatic response to COVID and the "vaccines" that weren't vaccines does not require you to stage a Year Zero bonfire of all previous medical research and seek advice from The 4Chan Journal of Anecdotes Excited to hear your thoughts on the scourge of chemtrails and the "spherical Earth" hypothesis, do you have a newsletter

How long is it still cool to shoplift $999 of merchandise in California? Asking for a friend The thing that irks me about the $1000 shoplifting limit is it forces people to do math while in a hurry. What if they innocently grabbed $1027 of stuff, and now have to go to jail because they forgot to carry the 1 or something?

I can't believe the chicken entrails were wrong There were models and graphs and everything

For the first time in my life, I literally just yelled "get off my property" at somebody. It was absolutely cathartic, and I've never felt more Texan no twitter shtick here. I have my own private haunted woods around my shack and there's been a bigass construction thing going on beyond them. it's been making dust and noise for a few months, which has been an annoyance, but whaddaya gonna do. Anyway a couple of guys from the site, in hardhats and yellow vests, hopped my fence and started walking around my property scoping the site and what. That's when I snapped and went into fist shaking angry old man mode

Happy Homecoming parade season from #DavesCarIDService, brought to you today by Food King and DePasto Oldsmobile. Drop in to DePasto Olds and ask Carmine for great deals on a new '63 Dynamic 88, or a pre-owned creampuff like this '61 Buick Electra convertible!
*of course I would be remiss to not mention the Faber homecoming parade car that spurred mayhem at Mayor DePasto's showroom, the Delta Deathmobile. a/k/a pledge Kent Dorfman's '64 Lincoln Continental loaned from his brother. A '64 is an anachronism given the timeline of the movie, but hey, I'll forgive them that.
