ronindebeatrice agreed. I like the modern yet classic style of their cars. They have a modern industrial look while keeping classic lines. I'd love a car built by them. Just not a Cadillac.
This is my favorite episode of all time. The car and the builders are awesome. More of this please. The builders talked about the difficulties, not just the features. Their humility is really charming.
I have a 49 caddy restomod with an LSA motor and Art Morrison chassis etc. 1948 had the horse shoe gauge cluster (last year), 1949 was the first year of the V8 overhead cam engine and the caddy line won the motor trend car of the year award. My caddy is a survivor wearing it's original black lacquer paint.
+Jerque in the Merc -- Yes! I don't usually read the comments but I was going nuts waiting for the idiot cameraman to slide over to the car and show the engine bay. Instead he, for about 10 seconds, moved over there and then showed Jay's face and ignored the engine. I had to read here to see if it was only me that was driven nuts by this.
I had a two toned purple 1948 caddy when I live din L.A. in the 80s. Loved the car except when I had to try and stop. Love me some caddy cars. I had a 68 rag top and a 63 Fleetwood limo. The Fleetwood had features you did not see on other cards for a decade. Thanks Jay. Great to see what people are doing today in restoration and modification.
You CAN buy a brand-new, GM licensed 57, and to your specs too! They can be bought as a 2dr sedan or hardtop or even a convertible. The thing that interested me was the continuation series '69 Yenko Camaro!
Met the Ring brothers a few times they are so down to earth, in fact even their shop is unassuming, and they are so humble. Hey Jay I saw your show in Wisconsin Dells last Friday I laughed continuous. I missed you at the car show the next day, the rain drove me away but I see it didn't bother you. Love this car.
The Ring Brothers hit the ball out of the park, once again! These guys are real artisans. Their talent for merging the elements of a new car with the body of an old car, are really remarkable. Thanks, Jay, for yet another unforgettable episode!
These guys are amazing ,its no wonder you've featured thier work so often my favorite is the 69 Camaro and of course your amazing as well , big fan of Lenos garage , great show
The Ring Brothers did exactly what the person paying the bill asked them to do. Why should they get grief for that? For me? I like it. Modern performance and amenities and classic styling. My one critique is I would have used chrome instead of the carbon fiber. Overall very well done.
The man had the money, a dream, and the right men to fulfill it for him. This is not a true restore job. It is a "let's create something new with a touch of the old" job. In my opinion they were entirely successful at that. Personally I like it. What the Ring brothers accomplished is nothing short of brilliant.
I'm building a similar project .. 1963 Chevy Pickup sitting on a 2015 GMC pickup chassis with all the 2015 interior and electronics included. So I really appreciate the work that was done to this car. Well done!!!
I love this.. I think it's great that you can still have the beautiful looks of a 48 caddie with the benefit of modern engineering and that's what a car truly should be, a blend of art and engineering.. I agree an older touch on the interior would have been nice though.
THE 48 CADILLAC WAS THE FIRST CAR I EVER DROVE BY MYSELF...AT 14 YEARS OLD...IN DESTIN,FLORIDA...ON A ERRAND FOR T.N.NOLAND...FROM BEACH CANTINA BAR TO MOTEL AND BACK...FOR THE BOSS...N.O.,LOUISIANA
Hey Jay! As I seem to remember, the '48 Cadillac (I was born in January of '46) was the last of the flathead V-8 Caddys. in 1949, the first "Kettering" OHV V-8's for Caddy and Olds hit the street. As for this car, WOW! I'm impressed. What a great job Ring Brothers did! How very innovative. Their electronics work is very impressive on this car. They had a lot of issues to overcome...and did. Thanks for showing this car to all of us.
The Ring Brothers always amaze me with their attention to detail. They seem to take extreme pleasure in fooling the eye by substituting a new material for an older version but then disguising it so it's not noticeable, or perfectly recreating an old materials shape but leaving it exposed as the new choice. Just amazing in every way, as always.
Note to the director, pan view of what the talent is discussing, not the talent. I seen this car at siema and it was a crowd collector with the hood open, and nobody even noticed it when the hood was closed! Yes I know that there isn't anything special about the motor but when you stuff it down a 48 then it is a thing of beauty
This is a fantastic car. Best I have ever seen on the show, over 8 years or so. I would like to see the engine bay, as well as the interior. Another 20 minutes would be terrific. Also Jay, I saw you at Senator McCains Service last Saturday. Thank you for attending. He was a great American Patriot, and held so strongly to his view of Values. Although I’m Canadian, I shall miss him. He was a great man,
It's easy to be critical when you aren't the one who put wrench to bolt. It is amazing what they've built here and there are many little features and thoughts put into this car. The quality of the work, the tremendous amount of knowledge needed to make all the changes, and the sheer labor of such a build are worthy of appreciation. I've always tried to find the "fun" in whatever the car is and, even if it's something that is completely out of my field of interest, I try to appreciate the passion of the person who put it together. Jay hit the nail on the head when he said that there would be people who wouldn't get this build. This isn't the Miata, with an LS swap, from the pop up shop down the street. This is what 99% of the custom builders aspire to create and what 1% actually do.
I think this is amazing! The comfort, safety, and reliability of a modern car; with the looks and presence of an old car. I think this is what many people would really enjoy.
I like this build/video a lot. My next door neighbor (growing up) had a 48 Caddy Cpe in maroon paint. I loved standing in the driveway just looking at it's profile fascinated by the hidden fuel filler.
putting a modern interior in a old car is the biggest mistake if you ask me. sure change the driveline if you like but why trow out the beautiful dashboard with chrome details and steel. the classic steeringwheel... why would anybody want a boring modern interior
Vidar Mathisen because modern black plastic interior has its own beauty if you can believe that... 🤔 and its what GM wanted 😃 Its all about the publicity selling new models, as they don't make money on old models. It's far more interesting and unique doing it this way than the other way around, and it all looks original.
It's a stunner. Absolutely top notch, and only for the super rich. Just gorgeous, but not my kind of car. My cheapskate genes would not accept this car. If somebody gifted this thing to me, I'd sell it immediately. I don't oppose rest-o-moding a car, and I have some ideas on which cars I'd have rest-o-moded if I had money to burn, but it wouldn't be on the extreme side. I'm glad that there are people who know how to do this kind of building, and that they can make money doing it. I am in awe that they can do such a high quality build.
Jay, you asked for my opinion... I love the work and ingenuity. As you say putting new stuff in an old car is a really tough job which apparently was done very well. The overall look is not quite to my taste but then beauty is in the eye of the beholder. All that being said it's a lovely creation. Thank you Ring Brothers and Jay.
I'm late to the party, but this thing is impressive! The lines are so beautiful & they kept a lot of the character of the original, but w/everything modern underneath. I love it!
I couldn't point out a 1948 Cadillac until I saw pictures of this car at SEMA. If I ever stubble into a ton of money, this car is on my "must have" list. Great build Ring Brothers.
AWESOME! I'd trade my CTS Coupe with ALL the creature Features (24,000 miles and Same Color to) for this, incredible job, great work looks fantastic! Ring Bros did it again! :)) I really am not crazy about the ATS being the New Cadillac V Coupe, an entry level Caddy with twin turbos, I am just shaking my head NOoooo! Really like the size and Style of the CTS BUT THIS is incredible, can not find enough words to say how great this car looks and how very Jealous I am over this! LOL I've driven a few ATS's and compared to CTS there is NO COMPARISON, ATS is too small! I can not reach across to the passenger door handle on my CTS without crawling over the console, the ATS I hardly have to bend to reach the door handle on it, it is that much more narrow, CRAMPED! The '48 has all the room in the world, looks GREAT but would look better with ME driving it or sitting in MY Garage! LOL
Al Parker they don't make cars like this anymore because there are a bunch of little kids working at most of the car companies nowadays and they just want to see mass-produced pieces of plastic rolling down the road with engines they don't care what it looks like as long as it sells and as long as they can make a cool commercial showing that car going down the road and what it can do they don't care what it looks like back in the day when this car was designed you may as well have called the designers artists because that's what they were
They do for the right money. I know what you mean, I would like to see trucks built like the 50's thick sheet metal but with modern engines and suspensions and metal dash boars.
Very Impressive Ring Brothers knock it out of the park again. 48 Cadillac body cut just a little bit lol and a 2016 Cadillac atsv. I like what they did. Keep em coming Ring Brothers can't wait to see what you guys come up with next.
Appreciated the sharing of the electrical considerations involved, not to mention the myriad of problems concerning taking a 'body on frame' to a body on a unibody chassis. Wonderful result of a resolution of those problems. not to mentioned the others that undoubtably cropped up. Thanks!
@@chrisroach9459 I just looked again, it's different, they changed the grill, bumper, headlights, wheels, and switched all the black chrome to chrome, I like the old headlights better, but overall it is nicer. This is it. gramho.com/media/2170550533907383929
The haters really came out in the comments on this one. The Ringbrothers are phenomenal builders. They fulfilled their customer's order with this bulls. And they knocked it out if the park. If you don't like it don't hate. Go try and build you own restomod. Scrubs.
Absolutely love the way the car looks and evidently drives and handles nothing like the modern MTG the old... thank you Jay for everything that you do for us Gearheads out here the way you respect cars and the people that put them together it's really appreciated thank you again
@Bastiaan ten Doornkaat An E63 motor would suit me better. But I'd take the V12 anyday as well. Mercedes can build some serious engines. Easily some of the best in the world.
It does make you wonder how the general public would react to the graceful style of older cars married to the comfort, convenience, safety, and handling of the new ones. Am I the only person who thinks most current cars look like angry Tonka toys?
They look like jellybeans and gumdrops. It would have been interesting if the Chrysler 300 had had retro styling a la 1968 300...not on introduction though...but ''next generation'' ...Speaking of Tonka...the F-250 finally made it to the Tonka truck look.....
This is a work of art ! The engineiring, the cutting and mateing of parts and to make it look like a factory job is really enginuity. A clean, well built and a wonderful piece of rolling art for todays modern muscle car fan. Well done Ring brothers, well done!
The 1948 Cadillac body is pre carbon. The body is from the era of big heavy bodies & chrome. The black paint takes away some of the zing & pazazz of the late 40's body style IMO. As long as the owner likes it that's all that matters. The practical daily benefits of updated engine & interior are well worth the price. Many hours of 'how to' and hard work in that car. Well done!!
I think this represents some of the most impressive ways to build a car. It's one thing to build something without constraints, its another to build something that fits existing technology and looks so damn good...
Jay, the horse shoe dash you were talking about was '48 only. Great job of combining the old and new, but IMHO the styling decisions- grille, headlamps, rear fins and skirts did nothing to help the look of the car. Appears the ringbrothers are great builders, but they need a automotive designer.
I love cars like this. Taking older vehicles and making them modern is in line with my tastes. I love the looks of older cars. They had personality back then. They were art. I enjoy keeping that art alive with modern technology that improves on the safety and performance of the vehicle but still has the beauty and styling from the past. Beautifully done.

Ring brothers are like a high priced. Awesome quote Jay. Love the humour you bring to the show. I reckon one day you'll make a great comedian
That's the coolest 48 Cadillac I've ever seen. Nice job Ring Brothers.
I have a 49 caddy restomod with an LSA motor and Art Morrison chassis etc. 1948 had the horse shoe gauge cluster (last year), 1949 was the first year of the V8 overhead cam engine and the caddy line won the motor trend car of the year award.

"Overhead Cam".....no, overhead valves!
Pop the hood open, spend several minutes talking about the engine bay... and then don't show us the engine bay? Interesting editorial choice.
Jerque in the Merc -thank God I wasn't the only one who noticed this. Massive screw up whoever in editing didn't put some engine bay b roll in there.
+Jerque in the Merc -- Yes! I don't usually read the comments but I was going nuts waiting for the idiot cameraman to slide over to the car and show the engine bay.

"Pay em enough and they'll do anything you want...a bit like a high class escort" 😁
I wonder how Jay knows so much about high class escorts...lol
8P
There is no such thing as a high class escort.
@@172-e5s Every rich guy knows about high class escorts.
I love high-class escorts for $2,000 you get 24 hours with one of them best day of my life. Unfortunately tall German blondes don't grow on trees.
If GM actually built cars like this, they wouldn't be able to build them fast enough. Imagine a new 57! Wow
They likely can't get the fuel efficiency and safety standards met.
It would be faster than in 48.
Would be cool, but they may have to charge too much. May not be a good business case.
You CAN buy a brand-new, GM licensed 57, and to your specs too! They can be bought as a 2dr sedan or hardtop or even a convertible. The thing that interested me was the continuation series '69 Yenko Camaro!
Fantastic, when and where can I get mine?

I'm always waiting for the new one ✌️

Great looking car! I love the cars from the late 40's.
To your question at the end of the video, I liked it a lot. Amazing workmanship melding old design with modern pinnings
This car is ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL!!!!! The Ring Brothers show time after time that they are badass car builders. BRAVO RingBrothers !
This is the definition of cool 😎.. super classic car with modern guts 💪🏾💪🏾 I really like this. It’s like stepping into a backwards time machine
Ring Brothers do it again! WOW! What a car. Beautiful!

William Crawford : I’m sure that once you can afford to commission your own custom Cadillac, you can tell the Ring Brothers whatever you want.
Right Harry & up until this point I guess they didn't want the viewers to see the eng bay under the hood...but great work!
@@totophi You;ll pay for it, one way or another.
then your opinion isn't true to logistics, you just favor this and that's your excuse.
Awesome car and craftsmanship. Just what you expect from Ring Brothers
The Ringbrothers are artist This1948 Cadillac is a master piece great work guys keep it up Jay keep up the good work finding unique builds great show

I love how the 48 and 49 caddy shares an almost identical body with the same years of oldsmobile, pontiac and Chevrolet
I love this.. I think it's great that you can still have the beautiful looks of a 48 caddie with the benefit of modern engineering and that's what a car truly should be, a blend of art and engineering.. I agree an older touch on the interior would have been nice though.

Definitely one of my favorite builds. Love the shape. The carbon fiber accents are better than chrome.
Hey Jay! As I seem to remember, the '48 Cadillac (I was born in January of '46) was the last of the flathead V-8 Caddys. in 1949, the first "Kettering" OHV V-8's for Caddy and Olds hit the street.
As for this car, WOW! I'm impressed. What a great job Ring Brothers did! How very innovative. Their electronics work is very impressive on this car. They had a lot of issues to overcome...and did.

A beautiful shape, with modern GM everything, could be a daily driver if it didn't cost a trillion bucks.
Mmmm I freakin' love Jay Leno's cars! This dude has everything you've never seen! 😀

Surprised that Jay didn't remember that the 48 Caddy fins were modeled after a P-38 Lightning, not a jet.
I usually dislike most of the Ring Bros. cars, but this is a beauty.
Sam Iam you can't be serious. They usually build some of the greatest looking cars in the industry but this one is severely lacking in several areas.
Ring Bros creations lack passion.
In the process of putting a 51 Mercury body on a 07 Merc frame. The dash makes my heart hurt but I'm hoping it will be ok.
Beautifully done gentleman.

A great video as always, but the secret gem is those custom roll-around lifts that he used to show the underside of that beautiful vehicle.
it looks beautiful, i like the modern interior, though it would've probably been better if it was retro-styled
Retro Styled Interior??...it would have been a masterpiece
Fantastic car!
Great episode Mr Lenos 😁

oh yes every time.

Yes. And usually time it right for next Jay video.
Been watching Jay's stuff for years now and it got kind of old so I kill the vid juuust as he's about to hit it.
GM should produce a car like this it is absolutely beautiful.
Ring Brothers never fails to amaze, they do amazing work but they should've put black wheels to match the accents of the car.
This is the only way I would even think twice about buying a classic car. Absolutely brilliant job!
Jay Leno is our spokesman he gets it . He is a real Gearhead. He likes to get his hands dirty and he can appreciate some else's hard work.
As of May 2019 I can't find any pictures of the car with a new grill, I wonder if they ever changed it.
I sincerely hope so.
@@chrisroach9459 I just looked again, it's different, they changed the grill, bumper, headlights, wheels, and switched all the black chrome to chrome, I like the old headlights better, but overall it is nicer.
This is it.

@@bigredc222 it does look better this way with all the chrome 😍😍😍
Thanks for sharing that! I really like it both way. The modern look just looks more different than any 48 I've ever seen.
@@bigredc222 good lord, that is now just stunning.
Love the ring brothers totally tops in my book...
The haters really came out in the comments on this one. The Ringbrothers are phenomenal builders. They fulfilled their customer's order with this bulls. And they knocked it out if the park. If you don't like it don't hate. Go try and build you own restomod. Scrubs.
Saying you don't like something isn't "hate" , stop being millennial sensitive.
Ring Bro's are True Automotive Artists! Thanks Jay For having them on again!
Absolutely love the way the car looks and evidently drives and handles nothing like the modern MTG the old... thank you Jay for everything that you do for us Gearheads out here the way you respect cars and the people that put them together it's really appreciated thank you again
I wish they would do this on Mercedes older ones
@Bastiaan ten Doornkaat An E63 motor would suit me better. But I'd take the V12 anyday as well. Mercedes can build some serious engines. Easily some of the best in the world.
It does make you wonder how the general public would react to the graceful style of older cars married to the comfort, convenience, safety, and handling of the new ones. Am I the only person who thinks most current cars look like angry Tonka toys?
They look like jellybeans and gumdrops. It would have been interesting if the Chrysler 300 had had retro styling a la 1968 300...not on introduction though...but ''next generation'' ...Speaking of Tonka...the F-250 finally made it to the Tonka truck look.....
Poorly designed hot wheels
I watch is channel a lot. I think this might be my favorite build. That car is just too cool. I can't imagine what this cost. $500K?
This is a work of art !
The engineiring, the cutting and mateing of parts and to make it look like a factory job is really enginuity. A clean, well built and a wonderful piece of rolling art for todays modern muscle car fan.
Well done Ring brothers, well done!
I have a 2015 ATS coupe up here in Toronto. I love Cadillacs now! Great conversion job Ring Brothers!
Wonderful craftsmanship but an old caddy needs its chrome.
GM: "But we're not trying to sell you old Cadillac chome... we're trying to sell you new Cadillac Carbon"
The 1948 Cadillac body is pre carbon. The body is from the era of big heavy bodies & chrome. The black paint takes away some of the zing & pazazz of the late 40's body style IMO. As long as the owner likes it that's all that matters. The practical daily benefits of updated engine & interior are well worth the price. Many hours of 'how to' and hard work in that car. Well done!!
"Them there Ring brothers is part near jeanyusses"!! 😉😂
this guys says "them" instead "those" drive me nuts!
"We moved them wheels forward 18 inches"
Wow! Best of both worlds.. the killer style of yester-year with all the modern tech of today... now thats a excellent car!
I think this represents some of the most impressive ways to build a car. It's one thing to build something without constraints, its another to build something that fits existing technology and looks so damn good...
Jay, the horse shoe dash you were talking about was '48 only. Great job of combining the old and new, but IMHO the styling decisions- grille, headlamps, rear fins and skirts did nothing to help the look of the car. Appears the ringbrothers are great builders, but they need a automotive designer.
This build just screams "I spent a fortune for this!"
I was thinking the same thing
Your missing one major thing which is starting it up on camera! Please do this to all your future car reviews!
I love cars like this. Taking older vehicles and making them modern is in line with my tastes. I love the looks of older cars. They had personality back then. They were art. I enjoy keeping that art alive with modern technology that improves on the safety and performance of the vehicle but still has the beauty and styling from the past. Beautifully done.
My uncle had one, I have always loved them! Good build!
