Ringbrothers built this custom 1948 Cadillac called “Madam V” for owner Wes Rydell at their company in Spring Green, Wisconsin. The company started by stripping the body off a 2015 ATS-V and stretching the chassis 16 inches. Over that they installed a 1948 Cadillac Series 62 Coupe body and instlaled a 2016 ATS-V powertrain. This means under the hood sits a twin-turbo 3.6 L LF4 V6 bolted to a 8L90 eight-speed automatic transmission. The motor produces around 464 horsepower and 445 lb-ft of torque. It also means the car retains the Brembo disc brakes, traction control, push-button start, and modern interior. Several years after making its debut at SEMA 2016, the car received a refresh that involved replacing the wheels and carbon fiber bumpers and trim with chrome pieces.

I saw this car when it was first made and thought it was great. It is maybe even greater now. It is a timeless piece that should go down through the ages with grace.
They did a great job picking the new wheels.
Yes they did…
