I wonder how the Northstar equipped ones go? I have a friend in Florida with one, never been in it but he says it is a sub 6 second 0-60 machine with the 32 valve dual overhead cam engine. Top end limited by speed rating on tires.
OK since you guys are on Cadillac's here's one of my friends. Can anyone tell me what year and model of Cadillac that it is? I don't know the prize yet?

I'm going with a 47 Fleetwood 75. The foot rests are a dead giveaway it is a Fleetwood but I think anyone can tell this is a limousine anyway. It is a tough call, not much difference in a pre war Fleetwood but I know the famous V symbol came after the war. So basically it was a toss up for me between a 41 or 42, then I zeroed in on the V emblem on the hood so after the war, staying with 47. Remember Cadillac was making tanks and engines during the war so 42 was the last new model year, then in 46 the cars we basically carry overs from 42.

LOL..I knew it would be you to get it right a 47 series 75 Factory stretch Limo. Found out that there were very few of these built that year.
No Kidding!
The kids won't need school and there's only 3 more summers to cruise in that Caddy!
