Thanks for the info. I didn't remember if 47,48 or 49 was the first year for Cadillac's overhead valve v8 and since I didn't have access to the engine I didn't want to guess. I'm starting to forget the little things. The big things will soon follow I guess. Thanks for watching.
I hear ya Stan especially the ones with the "Country Club" trim but I think GM did a good job on all of them. I'd be happy with any one of them. Thanks for watching.
Absolutely Beautiful ❤
I agree. Thanks for watching.
An Incredibly Beauuutiful Car!💕
Thanks for watching James.
Absolutely stunning, nothing better than a classic American car or truck. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I agree. Thanks for watching Brian.
This is a fine body style. My grandfather owned a good few Cadillacs...but for family reasons, he needed 4-door models.
So did my father James. Thanks for watching.
When a Cadillac is done right, hard to beat them!
You got that right and this car looks sooooo right to me. Thanks for watching.
😍Beautiful❤Awesome 😍fantastic ❤

Very cool 🤙 that thing is sexy. I have a 47 sedan I picked up for a convertible project.
I bet it will be awesome stock or custom.👍 Thanks for watching.
That is definitely the most dynamic '47 Cadillac out there PERIOD! 3:47 3:47
It is sooooo cooool. Thanks for watching.
"BIG AND LONG, SHINY AND BLACK"👍
So cool. Thanks for watching.

Beautiful. So aerodynamic, it almost seems to be pulled forward. Those wheel covers are sombreros.
You're right William. Thanks for watching.
They may be wider than they needed to be!😊
I'd buy this car
Thanks for watching.
Of all the 1947 makes this is my favorite!
I like it to Tom. Thanks for watching.
KING OF THE ROAD 👑 ALOT NICER THEN A CHEVY, BUICK, AND PONTIAC OF THIS YEAR
👍It's a King Cadillac. Thanks for watching.
Wow what a Gem this Cadillac is! I was surprised it has an automatic trans for a 47.
I agree. Thanks for watching Dave.
Cadillac had Hydromatic transmission standard since 1941.
@@porksandwich5693 Got it. Thanks for watching.
It's a "Stunner"
It sure is. Thanks for watching Tim.
Was the sunvisor an option?
Good question. I don't know. Thanks for watching.
I would take this ride over any Ferrari or Tesla ......American steel......that bad boy is classic Art Deco
I agree. Thanks for watching Mario.
The Chevy Fleetline 47 and 48 are much better looking more chrome and the same body!!!
I hear ya Stan especially the ones with the "Country Club" trim but I think GM did a good job on all of them. I'd be happy with any one of them. Thanks for watching.
