@@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.
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!!
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
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.
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 )
I have a engine from Cadillac 1912, and the engine is now for sale. This model was the first with electric starter from Cadillac. Any tips to web page for advertisement this engine?
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!
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
I have a similar procedure to get started in the morning too LoL!
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!

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:)
dormantsuperhero so like a girlfriend?
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.
Wykonanie silnika to inne arcydzieło. Aż dech zapiera jak się widzi jakie rzeczy tworzyli ludzie bez użycia komputerów.
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.
Early to bed, early to rise, makes a man in 1912 on time for work.
thats a work of art

So that explains them VERY NARROW driveways I see especially in the older parts of L.A. (Los Angeles). Awesome video!

Henry Ford made a rotary 2 cylinder hydrogen motor during 1890s, disallowed for french petrol to market.

The french invented it...

I am completely charmed. That is some quality engineering. Thanks for sharing this with us.
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.
Wow! I thought this was in America then i saw the front number plate. Australia.
Cool.
amazing how designers could work out all these things, really magnificent and thanks so much for the video work. I really enjoy early mechanics.
This video made me smile, how far we've come! What a cool old timer who own's this treasure!
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.
I thought times were simpler then? Loved the car and the filming. Makes me long for living in the past.
Amazing piece of car history! Thank you for uploading this marvelous video!
This is simply a wonderful piece of machinery.Long may she continue to run and give us,the viewers,pleasure!
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.
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 🤣👍
That peace of history is amazing
Cadillac chassis number 3 is also owned by a New South Welshman :)
Awesome video love seeing all the close ups, reminds of the 1908 international we used to have except alot more modern.
Back when driving a car was like operating a factory! Brilliant!
Nicely done. Great detail shots. You really revealed the personality of this car.
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.
It's like starting a plane!
What a neat video and a fantastic car. Thanks for sharing this with us!
Cadillac for the win! Hard to believe but its 100 years old!! Sweet car!
Just a few steps. Great video. What a car. Thank you.

You have got to love cars and the vast array of brilliant and unique ingenuity of the days before industry standard architeture.

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!
Superb video and car,thankyou for taking the time and effort to film this and upload it for all of us to enjoy!
This is one of the coolest videos on the tube!
Amazing!! Makes one appreciate much more some things taken for granted today, such as keyless start...
Engine Twin Spark !! Beautiful Engine, the first with Electric Start !! The Cadillac !!

Is there a brake for the clutch and does it have a sprag clutch for hills?

that was a great video
Still a easier start than my lawnmower
Very nice. Thanks
I like the sound of a big four-cylinder.
Love this! I'd like to see if a 2012 Cadillac would even turn over in 2112!
That's really cool
Nice experience
Love the gas gauge!
