Please help. Cadillac V12 question

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Quote:</div><div class="ubbcode-body">I have a friend who says he knows of a 1978 or 1979 cadillac with a v12 motor. The rear doors are suicide doors. Anyone know of this car. Perhaps it is a concept car. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks to all. </div></div>

Uh,

Can we say "urban legend" here? Cadillac produced nothing but V8's after abandoning their second-series V16 in 1940, and their V12 went away earlier than that. In addition, the engine bay of a 78-later Cadillac is way too short to acommodate anything longer than a V8.

You might ask him to get a picture of the car--that usually ends the discussion of such things pretty quickly.

GM Styling did play around with renderings and even a clay styling model or two, of proposed V12 and V16 Cadillacs in the 1960's, but none were ever built as running prototypes, to the best of my knowledge.
