1909 Cadillac First Drive First Start in 79 Years

Projects like this are a win-win for everybody involved. They really help up to appreciate how far automobiles have come along with getting an inside look at some wild history.

Today, we check out a 1909 Cadillac, a far cry from the Cadillacs of today, that has just been completely restored from the ground up and is looking great.

The car hasn’t been started and driven under its own power since 1933 and this day in 2013 would mark the moment of truth to see if this restoration that took nearly 5 decades would be a success or not.

Check out the video below as the Cadillac fires up and goes on its maiden voyage. It does, however, have a little bit of trouble stopping toward the end of the video and we will never know if that Cadillac ever did stop.

The old school Cummins find below also has the tall task of getting going after 10 years!
