Cadillac has a special place in the American identity.
If you ever wonder how that started, look no further than a vehicle like this one.
It is a classic rod rebuild of an American icon, and its heading under auction this fall.
This smooth, curvy Caddy is a refined, simplified take on the original.
In a sense, its a Cadillac in a black nightgown, with nothing else to complicate its beauty.
Under the hood, the Cad Attack is powered by a 400-horsepower V8 engine.
Its optimized with a special carb and intake, and is controlled by an automatic transmission.
That power is pushing a pretty heavy automobile, so you cant expect lighting fast acceleration.
Id search for some original wheels, or at least something a little closer to the Cadillac inspiration.
