1913 & 14 cadillac 4 cylinder is rated at 48 brake hp. the 1915 type 51 (first V8) is rated at 70 hp. Cadillac are probably the most affordable high hp brass cars because they are plentiful. 10,000 plus built each of those years.

With Lindbergh involved in early ads, could this be a precursor company of the Lindbergh automobile

Is this what they mean when they talk about the launch of certain EVs ? I can't seem to stop the motion long enough to see the car but it looks to be a black & white police car with a light bar.

It crossed through Ohio. Total coverage, although slight ring around moon a t total . My wife used eclipse glasses she saved from last partial that passed through here 24 years ago. I used my auto dark welding helmet. It worked great because the hood blocked side light as the sun disappeared. However the auto dark function quit about 3/4 through. Apparently not enough light to function, even on Hi sensitivity. Setting. I had to press and hold the battery/auto dark test botton in until enough sun returned.

I have been to Chickasha about 8 times in past 20 years. It is a long 16 hrs of windshield time, one way from Ohio. The first trip included a stop along the way and a bypass to Wichita to pickup a car to trailer home. But at that time and every visit since, I always find early brass cadillac parts. I went last month again and although there half as many vendors as usual, I still found some 1-cyl parts there. This first photo is of the morning before the meet as people start showing up in the parking lot across the street by RR tracks, selling contraband from their trailers. Note the large lamp shade hidden in the treetops, center of photo and beyoud RR cars. This is a giant 50ft leg lamp statute in homage to Noland James, the creator of the original leg lamp as used in the 1983 movie Christmas Story with Ralphie. Noland created the original lamp in 1970 right there in Chickasha in 1970 as one of his artistic endeavors. Noland is or was a U of OK industrial arts prof and somewhat of a legend in those parts. This is the bonus attraction you missed if you weren't there this year.

I certainly agree with Glenn. Running the fuel line up over the hot engine is not a good idea. The original factory configuration has the mechanical fuel pump on the front left side of the engine. There is a T on the output of the pump. One side feeds the left carb with about 1 ft long line, straight to the left carb. The factory feeds the right carb with about 4ft of line that goes down around the front of the engine (around the timing chain cover) and back up the other side.to the right carb. The bottom of the U in the factory line however, creates a trap that can accumulate dirt and crud in the fuel system and restrict flow to the right carb. Both ends of this line should be routinely disconnected and blown out. I suspect that someone discovered the clogged right side fuel line problem and thought that rerouting the line upwards would eliminate that problem but as Glen suggests, may have created a new vapor lock issue. Normally the Cadillac V12 runs fine on alcohol laced fuel because the carbs, pump and fuel lines are on the outside of the block and below exhaust manifold heat. I suggest installing a new line like the factory line. Consider cutting the line at the bottom of the U, add a T with a removable stub pointing down, so debris will collect in the stub and keep the line clear. There can be another problem with the fuel pump operation. the pump is operated by a push rod actuated by a lobe on the valve cam. There is only about 1/4" of movement. The rod and the pump armature that the rod wears against can be worn down to the point that there is not sufficient movement of the pump's diaphragm to provide sufficient volume of fuel to supply both carbs at speed. It is likely that the right side will be starved for fuel due to the longer and perhaps restricted run. I question whether the electric pump in this case would increase the volume of fuel past the mechanical pump with a worn pushrod.

That is my point about the Underslung. The opposite of the limited. Big, powerful and expensive but because the chassis and body are suspended below the axles it has a very low and squatty profile. Even lower than a typical model T. A well known collector in my area, Bill Haines, owned 3 or 4 Underslungs from the 50s to the 90s before his passing. He also owned The Baby REO as well. I've also had the privilege of seeing an Olds limited up close and personal. They are huge motorcars.

Thanks for the info. Other than water & fragrance, I believe the same ingredients as a Twinkie. Dimethicone, or as we all know it: dimethylpolysiloxane is a silicone. Believe it or not, this particular flavor is non-toxic and used in foods, like that artificial, non-stick baking pan spray. mmmmmm. I assume it produces a slick, non-stick exit shoot also, if you get my drift. My wife and I swore off artificial flavoring/foods years ago. We use real butter, sugar, cream/half & half, etc. but less of it. I've also sworn off silicones in my shop. I'm a true hobbyist who does most of my own work including painting in the same shop that I weld, grind, sand, and cut wood, as well as wax cars & treat tops & materials. I don't have problems cleaning and mitigating dust before painting but silicone sometimes gets into my paint projects and causes fisheye problems. I avoid using it, but that's just me. I'm sure it is a good product.

Can't find ingredients for VLR. Does it contain silicone?

I think Underslung wears 43 inch tires, which is another large auto of this era but of course with a much lower profile. It would be interesting, maybe cartoonish to see an Underslung parked next to one of these olds

I was at the Chickasha OK swap meet and got into a discussion with other car guys about rt 66. According to someone there, OK has most of rt66 still in its original rout and many of the original attractions remain.

I have and it's not pretty.

Red lights could be for civil defense markings. In the 40s and 50s the local town or county civil defense Marshall was a volunteer position similar to volunteer firemen and would be authorized to have flashing red lights like that wired with brake lights on their personal car. Would also have CD triangle decals on front and rear windows.
