The 1948 Cadillac may not have had a revolutionary engine, but the styling helped usher in America’s post-war boom. The tiny “fins” at the back of the car were the beginning of a styling trim that many auto designers soon followed.

The 1948 Cadillac in this video has been modified with a modern 500 cubic inch power plant making 375 horsepower, torsion bar front suspension, front disc brakes as well as some interior creature comforts.
