They existed. Built on the "Commercial Chassis". There were a lot of Cadillac hearses, ambulances and funeral "flower cars" The flower cars were a pickup truck used to bring the big flower arrangements in a fancy funeral from the funeral parlor to the graveyard. That was about the heaviest use they got. I remember them from the Chicago area in the early 50's through the early 60's. I saw a gangster funeral in Chicago that had 3 of those flower cars in the parade.
The Cadillac pick-ups were actually intended to be flower cars that followed the hearse in a funeral procession. Packard made them too and they were so cool. There’s so many trucks here that I want!
yeah, and the funniest thing is the first ones, the cabover gmc, are all customs, gmc never built a cabover pickup. those were all 2 ton and bigger and never came with a bed on the back.
Who says "revolutions per minute" in normal conversation? One hundred and two, four inch wheelbase? Chevrolet three thousand, one hundred? I despise these AL narrators

@@DLH1964-y9g Yes, and back in the early 50's. Like hearses, and ambulances, made by custom body shops. Cadillac sold a "comercial chassis" for those purposes.
Love those Cadillac Ranchero's. I wonder how many were made and how many are still out there stored in barns, garages, and open fields. Would love to own one and drive it to classic car shows. Now that's an expensive pickup truck.
There's no such thing as a Cadillac Ranchero. A Ranchero is a Ford! Those Cadillac truck's were not produced by Cadillac but were Coupe de Ville's that were converted by coachwork companies.
@@geofjones9 I am sorry I miss spoke in I believe it was 1956 all cads, pontiacs, Oldsmobile and Buick and GMC trucks except the six cylinder which had a carter two barrel most V8 GM v-8 engines had quadrajets . Please correct me if I am wrong with good information so that I can learn
That 1956 Caddy pickup appears to have late 1970's trim. And it looks like those six passengers it can luxuriously accomodate have to share a single bench seat with the driver.
The Dodge little red express truck came with the 360 v8, some had w-2 heads, that was the biggest motor offered in it, 5.8 or 5.9 litres, not 7.2. Dodge warlock did come with the larger v8 440 v8. They also made a Dodge midnight express truck which also came with a 440 v8.
That 1st Gen lightning ws well under 8sec 0-60 cause a 92GT would hit 60 right around 6sec or just under and that lightning would often beat the GT 0-60
I could ponit out htat Cadillac pickups were most used as flower cars adn nothing else back then. On the other hand , the Dodge Litle red Express distinguished from other with those vertical mufflers found on heavy duty mule trucks.
How about either showing what the narrator is yapping about or having the narrator describe what is pictured, either way is acceptable, but not what is currently offered
You should make this video, a part 1 series video. A video with a title "silliest pickups..." and no FC Jeeps or the Kaiser flower car in it is incomplete. Then after a look the youtube channel, I see other pickup videos; maybe the Kaiser and other flower cars are there. Really, make it a part 1, 2, etc. video.
Never mentioned the Luv pickup was manufactured by Isuzu not GM, that's what made it great. Also the Ford Courier by Mazda, which I think they skipped, video was so bad I didn't watch all of it😴😩
Why wasn't the Australian ute mentioned Holden & Ford Australia made some fantastic Ute's I have a 1966 Ford Falcon ute for example these Australian made Ute's would be as good or even better than what examples you displayed Onya
My brothers friend has a Honda Ridgeline, he told him spare tire was under the bed floor and if you get if load anything heavy in the bed and get a flat you are screwed.
► 😳 Watch this video: th-cam.com/video/gle2znvpxEI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=45UEhUh0wtiNJYMO
The only silly thing here is the title..
As well as the silly bugger who made it.
There's nothing silly about these trucks so the title is definitely misleading .
Except the ridgeline
The fact that this video shows 70,s model Cadillac and talks about 60,s model cars makes this video one of the silliest videos ever
They were used as flower cars for funerals
It's a '56 bro... chill 😂 more like a 76-77
I love the Old Dodge pickups. My Grandfather had a 1952 and a 1956 Dodge half-tons on his Citrus Ranch. Those trucks were still running in the 90s.
1956 Cadillac p/up? don't you mean 1976?????? Yeah, I thought so
I was about to say that, whoever made this video needs to do more research before making videos… period

I always thought that "flower cars" were custom built for the industry, like the hearses.
@@elultimo102 they are, thats why they are so rare. not all the trucks in the video are factory built, they're customs.
Why can't they have a real person doing the video?!?!?!!
Modern day laziness
The era of AI narration and I hate it
These are more like coolest trucks, cyber truck is silly
🥴 Yes!! 😊 Thank you!! 👍
Who says "revolutions per minute" in normal conversation? One hundred and two, four inch wheelbase? Chevrolet three thousand, one hundred? I despise these AL narrators
This should be called “30 of the coolest trucks of all time”
Exactly
well, thats just silly
Cadillac did not build them. They were all done as aftermarket conversions
Aftermarket conversion is Right

What so silly about the trucks here show me
The accent should tell you everything lol
It is his opinion and he is entitled to his opinion.
I agree with you
The silliest pickup i know are always the ones they lowered down too low 😆😆🤣
His descriptions are silly af.
I don't think he got one engine displacement correct
The AI narration is silly even if the trucks aren't.
The Cadillac trucks were from 1975 to 1980.
I've often seen them used as funeral flower cars.
@@DLH1964-y9g Yes, and back in the early 50's. Like hearses, and ambulances, made by custom body shops. Cadillac sold a "comercial chassis" for those purposes.
Cadillac never made a pickup ,it was a conversation from a outside company,this is a click bait video
Dude, the chevy 3100?
Come on, that might be the most iconic american pickup of all time!
1:15 the Only engine was a inline 6 cylinder.
The small block chevy was introduced in 1955.
11:27 in 1947 chevy did Not produce a V-8
I love all of them ❤
Pretty trucks, nothing really silly. Much better without sound!
Those 48's are sick!
How do you fit 6 passengers into 2 bucket seats in the Cadillac?
Sit in the back 😅
3 people sat in 3 other people's laps 🥴😆😏
Truck bed dummy
It’s not pack-hard it’s pack-erd teach your AI bots to speak.
I like the old Trucks They Have classic styles ❤Antique Cool
I saw a Cadillac pickup at work last week. It's the only one I've seen. I work at a gas station and enjoy seeing cool cars and trucks.
Lok up the Little Red Wagon.
All these trucks are great. I would take any one of them
Love those Cadillac Ranchero's. I wonder how many were made and how many are still out there stored in barns, garages, and open fields. Would love to own one and drive it to classic car shows. Now that's an expensive pickup truck.
There's no such thing as a Cadillac Ranchero. A Ranchero is a Ford! Those Cadillac truck's were not produced by Cadillac but were Coupe de Ville's that were converted by coachwork companies.
The Caddie trucks were coach built for funeral homes as flower carriers. Most were driven until they fell apart.
El Camino is the more appropriate term, Cadillac El Camino you meant !
@@cadifanYou are 100 % right!
There's only 2 in this list that are silly. the Subaru Brat ( which i think was kinda neat) and that God awful Chevy SSR.
Subaru Brat was a neat little truck. Engine head gaskets were a problem.
I didn't know of a Cadillac had a pickup. Would love to have one
The Ford Lighting was a " little animal "
OH, GOT TO LUV THOSE TRI--5 CHEVYS
Late 80's thru all 90's was a great time to have a " fun " truck
The chevy 71 and 72 trucks had good looking bodies. The short bed was very popular.
If you want to see Chevy Luv trucks ,watch a few episodes of Chips. Oh ,and I've seen every one of these trucks b4.
The Chevrolet LUV truck is nice and reliable
2004 SRT V-10 is the all time winner going away!!
Ive never heard a 4x4 being referred to as a 4 ex 4 . What is the point to this AI stupidity?
That cab over is a sweet ride.
Cadalack never used carter carburetors all cads used quadrajets
We had a '56 caddy with a Carter 4bbl carb. The quadrajet had not been developed yet.
@@geofjones9 I am sorry I miss spoke in I believe it was 1956 all cads, pontiacs, Oldsmobile and Buick and GMC trucks except the six cylinder which had a carter two barrel most V8 GM v-8 engines had quadrajets .
Please correct me if I am wrong with good information so that I can learn
@@geofjones9 thank you for the information 🙏
There is nothing stupid at all my darling
I like them all ill drive every one
@@JFMKV2024 me too. As long as every one of them can take you to work and back home everyday. 😂
My favorite was the Cadillac truck. I didn’t know that existed.
That cab over isn't really a cab over like the later models with the flat nose. It looks cool 😎 .
They got the title of this all effed up should be coolest of all time
The first truck looks like it came strait out of the video game FALLOUT...😂
This cadilas was not a pickup it was a funeral flower car
What aboutthe Plymouth Scamp and Dodge Ramcharger?
AI voice couldn’t say 4x4 that should sound like (4 by 4).
I don't think there is such a thing as a silly pick up My daily driver is a Toyota Camry hearse panel Van One of one specially made 🤠⭐🦅🗽✌️👍
The 1952 Dogde pickup truck is nice
It would have been nice if you included production numbers. 😮🇺🇸
The Nissan Hardbody is nice and reliable!
Love every truck in this video , way to go creator
Nothing silly about these.... The NEW style oversized front ended trucks and short beds are the silly trucks
That 1956 Caddy pickup appears to have late 1970's trim. And it looks like those six passengers it can luxuriously accomodate have to share a single bench seat with the driver.
The Ford F150 is nice
GTA V ONLINE SLAM TRUCK🤔
2 more "silly" trucks; Subaru Baja & Dodge Rampage. 2 more unusual yet desirable trucks; Ford Sport Track Adrenaline & Chevy Avalanche
There's not one pickup in this list that I wouldn't want today.
Ridgeline
How bout the Lincoln Blackwood?
Should have mentioned the "utility" model by several manufactureres that used to be popular in Austrailia.
What about the Chevrolet Avalanche
I knew people who owned Avalanches, they said it was neither a SUV or a truck. They were more abominations than anything else.
@ronaldannas1935 they included the Honda Ridgeline that's why I asked about the Avalanche same principle
The Junkalanche.
I see your point then. The Avalanche was released before the Ridgeline. Good call on that one.
Todd: now that’s getting way to silly,but you are right
i wish they made another COE these days.
The Dodge little red express truck came with the 360 v8, some had w-2 heads, that was the biggest motor offered in it, 5.8 or 5.9 litres, not 7.2. Dodge warlock did come with the larger v8 440 v8. They also made a Dodge midnight express truck which also came with a 440 v8.

that's a 70s caddy not no 50 somthig
If this was truly about silly pickups why wasn't the tesla on it?
what about the Plymouth Rampage?
You forgot the Dodge Rampage and its Plymouth twin. And what about the Ford Maverick???
I installed a chevy 350 V8 in a Luv pickup. It would get it. Grass didn't grow under it.
The only silly "truck" that I've seen on this list is the Honda Vageline.
Not sure why but I always thought the Chevy luv looked like an Australian vehicle?
I had to fast forward because of the annoying British narrator but no mention of the FC150??
Why are all the pictures during the 1956 Cadillac pickup truck showing 1976?
How about either showing what the narrator is yapping about or having the narrator describe what is pictured, either way is acceptable, but not what is currently offered
Why is the new Caterpillar pick up not mentioned?
The Cadillac is Not a 1956, it is a 1976 Cadillac Mirage
Why can't you talk?
Narrative is A.I.
😂
The Caddy became flower cars at many funeral homes in the Northeast.
Most if not all of those were coach built conversions anyway, just like hearses. This AI slop video failed to mention that.
I want a Power Wagon but since I'm in Germany I don't think that will be happening.
CADILLAC PU WAS A FLOWER CAR
You should make this video, a part 1 series video. A video with a title "silliest pickups..." and no FC Jeeps or the Kaiser flower car in it is incomplete. Then after a look the youtube channel, I see other pickup videos; maybe the Kaiser and other flower cars are there. Really, make it a part 1, 2, etc. video.
I agree with other commenters, what's silly about them?
Lots of misinformation here, need to put more effort on the facts, but the recount of these unique trucks is great.
Very disappointed that no falcon, Commodore, pursuit or maloo utes are in this list.
Only thing silly is caddy Camino talking about 60s showing 70s , putting imports with us vehicles , I’ve seen several of these trucks .
Never mentioned the Luv pickup was manufactured by Isuzu not GM, that's what made it great. Also the Ford Courier by Mazda, which I think they skipped, video was so bad I didn't watch all of it😴😩
What is the thmbnail truck?
Why wasn't the Australian ute mentioned Holden & Ford Australia made some fantastic
Ute's I have a 1966 Ford Falcon ute for example these Australian made Ute's would be as good or even better than what examples you displayed
Onya
7:50 precursor to the s10
Using AI is cheating and lazy. Down vote and never sub.
Don't you watch the video before you post?
Many mistakes, pictures and specs
how do you not include the dodge rampage???its up there with the vw. or what about the cameo? your slipping-
Dodge Rampage?
My first vehicle was a 1982 Rampage.
The AI voice is cringy AF!
Yea people would say Honda ridgeline and Tesla cyber truck lol
My brothers friend has a Honda Ridgeline, he told him spare tire was under the bed floor and if you get if load anything heavy in the bed and get a flat you are screwed.
Someone needs to look up the definition of "silliest".
These are silly why??
Most of these I wouldn't consider to be "silly" but whatever. This video is mostly just AI generated slop, I'm sure.
I vote the cybertruck, proof that just because you can dosen't mean you should.
This must be satire, none of this information is real.
