Editing Flathead engine (section)

===Flathead cars===
Multicylinder flathead engines were used for cars such as the [[Ford Model T engine|Ford Model T]] and [[Ford Model A (1927–31)|Ford Model A]], the [[Ford flathead V8 engine]] and the [[Ford Sidevalve engine]]. [[Cadillac]] produced [[Cadillac V16 engine#Series 90|V-16 flathead engines]] for their [[Cadillac V-16#1938.E2.80.931940|Series 90 luxury cars]] from 1938 to 1940.<ref>{{cite web | url = http://www.hemmings.com/hcc/stories/2007/02/01/hmn_feature6.html | title = Reignmaker – 1939 Cadillac Series 39-90 | last = LaChance | first = David | date = February 2007 | website = Hemmings Motor News | publisher = American City Business Journals | access-date = 17 November 2015 | quote = Mechanically, the Series 90 cars shared the advances of the Series 75. The V-8 car's three-speed manual transmission was deemed up to the task of handing the torque of the V-16, in part because the larger engine delivered its impulses so smoothly.}}</ref> [[Packard]] and [[Pontiac straight-8 engine|Pontiac]] produced flathead inline 8-cylinder engines until 1954. Also in the British [[Morris Eight]], and [[Morris Minor]] series I.

After [[WWII]], flathead designs began to be superseded by OHV (overhead valve) designs. Flatheads were no longer common in [[automobile|cars]], but they continued in more rudimentary vehicles such as [[off-road vehicles|off-road]] [[Jeep|military Jeeps]]. In US [[custom car]] and [[hot rod]] circles, restored examples of early Ford flathead V8s are still seen.<ref name=AmericanRodder1994/><ref>''Street Rodder'', 1/85, p.72.</ref>
