I'm probably wrong; I think the V16 was 2 flathead straight 8s joined at the crankshaft, like some WWII tank engines were V12 or even much bigger.
I've been playing close attention to these car photos. There's a lot to learn here, how he "masters" light. This one might be he waited for a cloud to pass in front of the sun, no blown out highlights. Not sure how he got that great exposure on the 59 Corvette. 2, maybe 3, maybe 0 tiny blown highlights. Tiny.

I guess that explains the long hood.
Nice photo! I note that Cadillac is now producing one of the only two "supercars" in GM's catalog, The CT5-V Blackwing (the other is the Chevrolet Corvette, natch!). The marque has stood atop the GM brands, but for years was noted more for its luxury offerings than for its high performance cars. But now that Oldsmobile and Pontiac are gone, Buick is evolving into the luxury arm, and Cadillac is once again becoming the engineering and technical showcase for the company.
Great shot of a great car, art work. I'd like to hear it run.
Would be extremely pleasing to have that on a modern frame, suspension, and modern V8 and transmission. Then it would be a pleasure to drive. Except one would be afraid to after watching Mecum or Barrett-Jackson for 15 minutes.

Too bad 'class' was left in the past. Nice shot

How “Class” looks evolves over time.
