1947 Cadillac Fleetwood with a Toyota V8

1947 Cadillac Fleetwood with a Toyota 1UZ-FE V8

This 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood was built by konnieciu in Poland. The car is still powered by a V8 albeit several decades newer. In the engine bay sits a 4.0 L 1UZ-FE V8 and Toyota A-series automatic transmission. A driveshaft sends power to a Dana 44 rear end from a Jeep. The classic sedan stops thanks to BMW E32 calipers and rotors powered by an Audi A8 D3 master cylinder. Steering is handled by a Peugeot 407 rack and pinion. Watch as MotoBieda discusses the car (in Polish) before taking it for a drive.

    Love It. Some of the shiny American restomods are almost too clean to be used. A really modern V8 , power and refinement

  2. Cool looking car. I like the four door models. Easier ingress and egress when you are old and stove up. I am not well versed on Toyota’s 4 liter V8 so I find it a strange choice but It sounds good and runs nice. Two thumbs up!
