Bruce Nunnally Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 The 1948 and 1949 Cadillacs defined high-tech for their day. In those two years, the crest and wreath introduced styling and engineering innovations that would go on to influence the American auto industry for decades. Aircraft design inspired some of those innovations, but as we see from several renderings for the postwar Cadillac, planes could have had a much more prominent role in Cadillac design. - See more at: http://blog.hemmings.com/index.php/2014/06/17/what-the-1948-cadillac-could-have-looked-like/?refer=news#sthash.2cVIRVaE.dpuf Bruce 2023 Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing Follow me on: Twitter Instagram Youtube Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cadillac Jim Posted June 17, 2014 Report Share Posted June 17, 2014 It's amazing how much these concept drawings and the 1948 Tucker look alike, quite apparently for the same reason: the Tucker was designed from a clean sheet of paper using WW II aircraft and other technology. -- Click Here for CaddyInfo page on "How To" Read Your OBD Codes-- Click Here for my personal page to download my OBD code list as an Excel file, plus other Cadillac data -- See my CaddyInfo car blogs: 2011 CTS-V, 1997 ETC Yes, I was Jims_97_ETC before I changed cars.
