Planning on buying a car frame and modifying it to have an old car style, hopefully it’ll go well, when I say an old car style, I mean the 1928 Cadillac style
Wow!!! That car is a beauty.. thank you for showing the thick glass on it. Very interesting how they had the back window made to fold down. I wonder if that was the original color on it?
Bender Bending Rodriguez a lot of people wore them briefly in the late 2000s but they developed an unfortunate association with socially awkward nerds because people would wear a cheap trilby with stuff like a graphic tee and cargo shorts
Dont think this is "the" real car unless there was more than one, certified one sold at auction had a V16 engine to pull the seven tons of weight with armor plating - it was longer/lower and had gun ports cut in the back side windows, special tires and pres. Roosevelt ended up using it for a time after Al went to prison. Otherwise this is an extremely nice car.
@@jamesshelly5557 I believe that after Capone was imprisoned, the car switched hands at least once or twice. There’s documentation out there that the person who ended up restoring it did remove the armored plating and modified it to be, well, not AS much of a tank
It's an actual siren. The car is painted in same green as the Chicago police cars ..the idea was that if need be in a get away they could "fool" the general public ,with all the confusion that it IS a cop car.
there is photo of Douglas McArthur ( rank unknown to me, probably already a brigadier general at the time ) ) with his boot on the bumper , in breeches. The car in question may have been a 1928, or 1929
Under the glovebox was a early police radio. Honest!. Capone had a police radio installed to monitor communication. It's feature in a old newsreel just after the car was seized by the feds in 1930s. .
I do not know if this is the Cadillac they came out of or not but my mother's uncle worked at the Cadillac dealership in Illinois when Al Capone traded in one of his Cadillacs he left the lead crystal vases that used to be in the back one on each side when my mother went to visit him in Chicago her uncle gave her the lead crystal vases or sconces whatever you call them their lead crystals and very intricate engraving on them they had to have cost a lot of money I do not think there was too many people that could afford such luxury during them times I'm trying to find pictures or some way to authenticate them my mother and her uncle are both deceased now if there is anybody out there that could figure out or help me to authenticate these I would really appreciate it they are really something spectacular when you see them compared to all the other ones from them times

@Bd Smith Ok so that's 7 cars. And I wouldn't call an N/A car with only 200hp and prius wheels a sports car, and let's not even speak about the civics. But that's not the debate. Now good luck to find a manual AMG. You see what I mean.
@Bd Smith And where does infiniti come from genius..? You didn't even understand what I said lmao, probably too dumb for that. But doesn't surprise me coming from a guy who didn't even get that my first comment was ironic. I said an N/A car, which means naturally aspirated, is gonna be slow with 200hp, because it will only have 200nm of torque, when a 200+hp turbo car will have 300. The BRZ has a severe lack of power and it's well known. Every fucking review of the car says it. But you're just pissed off by the truth and don't wanna admit it, how cute is that. Now keep typing your bullshit alone, I won't answer again, because I repeat, so that your little brain can get it, that's not the initial debate.
Actually, there's another video where the guy who has it shows all of the steel panels and where they're stored. There were 6 steel panels (all 4 windows, windshield and back window) that were hinged and swung down from the ceiling (which itself was armored) and had gun ports in them for sticking a gun barrel out of and the floor was armor plated too. The floor also had a trap door for dropping sharp objects onto the road in case they wanted to try to flatten the tires of a pursuit car. The gas tank in the back also had a steel plate mounted around the rear so that bullets couldn't penetrate it. The car was practically a rolling fortress. The only things that didn't look like they were protected were the tires and engine.
@@ApartmentKing66 I was waiting for him to describe how " bullet" proof the tires were. Once the tires were shot out and the car was in a rural area, the attackers could back off, wait for reinforcements and finish them off.
Bear in mind that Capone's 1928 bulletproof Cadillac won't be that bulletproof anymore when you consider that his car was built years before the .357 & the .44 Magnum cartridges were invented. Sure, it can withstand the .38 Special, 9mm, .380 acp, and .45 acp rounds. Those cartridges were around for many years before his bulletproof Cadillac was built. However, his car may need armor upgrading since the .44, .500, and even .357 magnum rounds might prove to be too much for Capone's 1928 bulletproof Cadillac to handle. Just my $0.02.
Actually if the steel plating was up the 30.06 would punch through it as in the 30s the colt monitor(a civilian law enforcement version of the BAR machine gun) was employed by the FBI so with the steel plating down it would stop that rifle round but up it might not
Hmmmm i wonder what its rating is. Rifle rounds like the 30-06 were around at the time, so i wonder if its rated for that too? If so i imagine a 44 or 357 wouldnt even dent it.

We have the same dream, or very similar. My fantasy would be cars made that have some of the mechanical and technical advantages of cars now, but that look and have the comforts of, as much as possible, cars from, say, the 1930s. My own personal dream car would be something along the lines of a 1935-1940 Packard. I actually think about such things, so it’s nice to know someone else does too.

I just brought his 1940 Cadillac, also bullet Proof, title is signed by Al Capone
Where do you keep your Tommy gun or lil beauty? (I believe that is the name Al Capone called his EDC)

The window glass must be almost two inches thick!
1-1/4" thick to be exact.
Pretty
Glad I got to see his beach house in Varadero, Cuba. The man knew how to live life with style.
I want this car
How much...???😎 Where can I buy this Car.???😎😎😎
It’s 1 mil as far as I know
P.S. Check out the thickness of that window glass. It's bullet proof material alright.
Yes the whole car is Bulletproof
The personal car of Al Capone
Que Hermoso carro xd.
Sure, the glass may be bulletproof, but being that thick too will help insulate it from the elements.
A wanna heard the horn
Was this car missing at one time???

Nice now you need a megaphone that sounds like a tommygun. Is this the same car that has a gun hole in each window. And had bullet holes in it

Windows were really thick seems legit.
I wonder if the armor would stand up to any modern guns. It looks thick enough but times have changed.
Idk good question because a modern day 556 is basically a scud missile compared to a 9 mm or 38 that I'm sure it's mostly rated for
