Cadillac Ciel, Concours d'Elegance PowerBrake Tv

See the video at www.sweetingmedia.com. Here is the Cadillac display at the Concours d'Elegance, 2011. The concept on show is the Cadillac Ciel concept, Jay Leno just happened to come by for his Jay's Garage shoot during ours. Jay interviews Ed Welburn, VP of Global Design for General Motors. We talk to Ed as well, and we are impressed. Bob pointed out to Ed off camera that this car, rather than being just a concept, would be great for putting an American car in the Rolls Royce Ghost or Phantom field, Ed liked that idea.

About Power Brake Service:

We build and Rebuild endless varieties of new and classic brakes for every type of vehicle and trailer. The company was started by George Sweeting in 1950 who worked for the railroads and Lockhead, it is now run by his son Bob Sweeting who learned about modifying cars while drag racing in the 60's, and Bob's son Matt Sweeting (who grew up in all of this) is taking over more and more responsibilities. We were a Warehouse Distributor for Bendix for 20 years until they sold they sold their Power Brake Division to Bosch, which is when we became a special modification contractor with Bosch for their power brakes - which come on most new American vehicles. Our ability to design brake systems, rather than just replace rotors and pads, has taken us to amazing places and we have worked on amazing projects. We have:

 

Hydro-Boost Conversions

Vacuum Brake - Conversions, Upgrades, and Modifications

Wilwood and Brembo Disc Brake Kits

Master Cylinders

Stainless Braided Hoses

Classic Car / Muscle Car Stock Brake Restoration and Rebuilding (Corvette, Camaro, Chevelle, Mustang, Ford & GM Truck, Mopar, Rolls Royce)

Light Truck / Medium Truck Hydro-Boost Replacement Parts and Conversions

We have worked on everything from propane powered trams to roller coasters, cranes, parade floats, multi engine street rods, classic european cars, double decker buses, and a Freightliner racing truck. Our favorite is working on big engine muscle cars that make too little vacuum and need more stopping power.
