Wow this is far better than any newer age car video... I ABSOLUTELY LOVE how you can see everything working in this video!!! This is a beautiful car and wonder piece of history. Thank you for this wonderful video! FANTASTIC WORK ON THE RESTORATION!!
@@MrTheHillfolk I beg to differ. By then internal combustion vehicles may very well be a thing of the past. If any normal boring commuter car that runs on gas still existed, better yet still *runs,* then I can almost guarantee people would admire it simply because *no one* would've preserved something like that. I saw a late '70s Honda Accord on the road a couple days ago and almost broke my neck trying get a look; albeit rusty and used the fact that it's still running and on the road is definitely interesting. Cars like that were meant to be used up and thrown away, like an '09 Taurus. If I saw one in 2100 that thing would be the center of attention.
wonder how said clutch behaves compared to a more modern stick car cause i want to give it a ride around town too (even if it's only to to a steam-punk event)
This is why I always say learn to drive a car from the 1910's before you drive a car from today. You learn to appreciate the changes cars have made over time, especially by owning a car from the 1910's. Excellent video demonstration!
Sounds delightfully. In less than half a century we are admiring a 1970 vw beetle internal combustion like this... and consider prius as obsolete and unneficient...
@@0852657luis Hello, Luis. I mean that in our fashion for antique machines, we are prone to see an old VW, that is obviously a primitive machine as more valuable, and cute than a 1st gen Prius. In the future -I guess- Prius is going to see kind of ordinary and lame... but internal combustion: really genius.
A really interesting video. Thanks for taking the time to set up the shots of the linkages, clutch etc. It would have been time consuming but something rarely ever seen now.
I USE 2 OWN A CADILLAC 1994 ,YOUR CAR 1912 LOOK MUCH MORE FUN N MORE INTELLIGENT,THANK U VERY MUCH OLDER BROTHER,SERVANT OF GOD,VERY COOL N EAZY MECANIC.
Amen to that! Whenever my Dad heard someone say, "They sure don't make 'em like they used to", he would remark, "Thank God!" This car was the first to have an electric starter. Crude, noisy, - but it sure beat cranking the engine by hand.
Cadillac were innovators back then. It could be said they invented the V8 engine as well. A Scottish engineer working for Cadillac first came up with the idea of arranging two banks of 4 cylinders in a 80 degree vee configuration. I have no idea when it went into production, but they did come up with it first
@@The2fiddyridah he's right, read on "Frenchman Leon Levavasseur was a 39-year-old inventor in 1902 when he took out a patent for the first V-8 engine he called the Antoinette."
A fine piece of machinery from 1912. If I lived in 1912, I probably would have had a Cadillac. These days, I'm driving a crappy used VW (which I'm gonna sell soon, thankfully). I'm probably gonna get used a Chevy next.
The first car to have an electric start and electrical system. If anybody remembers Cadillac history, it won the 2nd Dewars trophy, along with the first one in 1908 for interchangeable precision parts. That gave the Cadillac the nickname STANDARD OF THE WORLD. Modern cars from this marque have now have added an emphasis on performance as well as luxury.
Very Nice.and still running like a Caddilac. I'm not certain but my grand father who only owned Harley's & Buick's claimed the fuel pump was a Buick first and that before the late 20's the town ambulance had to climb hospital hill in reverse to keep the gas tank higher than the carburetor
you have a very nice car thank you for making this instructional video I am trying to learn as much as I can about how to operate older cars I plan on buying one just not sure what I want yet trying to get a feel for a brand that is reliable (well as reliable as a 100 year old car can be ha-ha )
lol, much respect, this is why we have such great cars nowadays, and even then engineering was way better than some of the cars built today, but I still lol'd, that horn sound just makes me laugh every time
A nice look back to 1912. I wonder what kind of "rush hour" our grandparents had to deal with back then. Assuming they could even afford such a car like a CADILLAC!

1912 and it had all the gadgets back in the day, I love the absence of plastic. Thumbs up!
That sir is a living piece of art. No modern car will last 107 years unless it’s a museum piece
This one is a museum piece lol
Michael Naisbitt that car didn’t last
Modern cars die if the computer dies. And this will happen. Without replacement you are lost.
@Big Rock
who the heck is gonna say in 2100: wow look at that 2009 ford taurus!!!
Nobody.

I am so glad you guys didnt add background music and just left the actual audio on, nice
that was so cool!! you could see even how the clutch works!

That engine bay is beautiful. I so love old technology in the classic cars.
These antique cars with their big 4-cylinder engines are a joy to listen to and ride in.
Thats why old cars are a joy to own, the beauty aside, you have to connect with and understand them, or you aint going nowhere:)

So that explains them VERY NARROW driveways I see especially in the older parts of L.A. (Los Angeles). Awesome video!
I'm glad to see that cars like this are still on the road. And I'm glad to say there are three model Ts in my area that are still daily drivers.
I am completely charmed. That is some quality engineering. Thanks for sharing this with us.
Wykonanie silnika to inne arcydzieło. Aż dech zapiera jak się widzi jakie rzeczy tworzyli ludzie bez użycia komputerów.
What a wonderful piece of history. Never have I seen such a car of magnitude. Now I will think twice on how easy it is to start my car.
This video made me smile, how far we've come! What a cool old timer who own's this treasure!
I thought times were simpler then? Loved the car and the filming. Makes me long for living in the past.
thats a work of art
amazing how designers could work out all these things, really magnificent and thanks so much for the video work. I really enjoy early mechanics.
Engine Twin Spark !! Beautiful Engine, the first with Electric Start !! The Cadillac !!

Henry Ford made a rotary 2 cylinder hydrogen motor during 1890s, disallowed for french petrol to market.
This is simply a wonderful piece of machinery.Long may she continue to run and give us,the viewers,pleasure!

Awesome video love seeing all the close ups, reminds of the 1908 international we used to have except alot more modern.

abslutly fantastic video i love old technology
You have got to love cars and the vast array of brilliant and unique ingenuity of the days before industry standard architeture.
Nicely done. Great detail shots. You really revealed the personality of this car.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man in 1912 on time for work.

Amazing piece of car history! Thank you for uploading this marvelous video!
Wow! I thought this was in America then i saw the front number plate. Australia.
Cool.
That peace of history is amazing
Back when driving a car was like operating a factory! Brilliant!
Superb video and car,thankyou for taking the time and effort to film this and upload it for all of us to enjoy!
Just a few steps. Great video. What a car. Thank you.
Automobile makers are some of the greatest artisic designers known to mankind. Beautiful machine. Divine simplicity...
+Tiny Teardrops and thats just what people said wheb cars replaced their horses
51farmalla Hahaha. Excellent comment.
Cadillac for the win! Hard to believe but its 100 years old!! Sweet car!
Missed alarm and up at 9:10am . . .10 minute drive to work! Ring boss and tell him you'll be there for 10:30. I've got to get the car started 🤣👍
Amazing!! Makes one appreciate much more some things taken for granted today, such as keyless start...

If you have lived in 1912 you would probably not afford this fine piece of engineering.
Most likely, but I could have been better off over 100 years ago? Who knows.
Devin Palladino If you pamper it wouldn't be crappy. Your shevy will end up the same way. 😂Haha!

very nicely edited video of a very nice car. it is in a pristine condition.
thumbs up for that
This is a very well made video. My hat is off to the creators.
This is one of the coolest videos on the tube!
Beautyful. I also like that it says "break" and "clutch" on the pedals. (2:17)
How about "brake"? LMFAO!!!
Marvelous,...and the driver's beard adds credibility too .
It's like starting a plane!
What a wonderful automobile !
Great detail on the video !
So Cool! I especially like the exposed clutch, interesting to see it work. Thanks for sharing!
B.
That's a great video of an impressive car. Thank you for sharing it.
Again, thank you. Great car.

Amazing and beautiful
Unbelieveable! So rare,so alive
I like the sound of a big four-cylinder.
beautiful car
Great video and great car! Loved it.
Lovely vid - thanks.
Cadillac chassis number 3 is also owned by a New South Welshman :)
very nice video. thank you
amazing car
enriching - tests and opinions
I would absolutely love to ride in it, Ketering was ahead of his time and Cadillac was too.
great great great car
Nice car,its like a Mclaren today.
Out of this world!
A nice look back to 1912. I wonder what kind of "rush hour" our grandparents had to deal with back then. Assuming they could even afford such a car like a CADILLAC!
Fabulous video.
Really like the car they dont make em like they use to
Nice car and nice editing job.
What craftsmanship
Love this! I'd like to see if a 2012 Cadillac would even turn over in 2112!
New South Wales, Australia. 👍🇦🇺💋
Nice experience
2:30 The horn is fantastic!
New South Wales Dude, I share your exitement however, Australian none the less!
That's really cool
Top Down , ride-a-round.I like the car.
Very nice. Thanks
Great video editing!!!!
Oh yeah ... what a beauty ...!!!
Awesome old vehicle
Like my grand daddy always said, “ if it ain’t a Cadilac, it ain’t Shit!”
Great video!!!! Fun to watch. Neat old car too, what a treasure!
Excellent- thanks for sharing!
felicitaciones creo que han de haber pocos en su estado conservacion
that was a great video
Imagine 100 years from now!
