Not to stray too far off-thread but what did I find this afternoon at the Flea Market at a 50% discount? I simply could not resist bringing this baby home for $20.

This was Cadillac's Art and Science answer to the Maybach. Had it gone into production it would have sold well among the favoured few, I think.

Of course nobody other than Jay Leno would have one of these. I thought that Chrysler made sure what was left of these (2 or 3) went into museums only. Well at least Chrysler didn't go after him like the GM people did after people who had the EV-1 electric car. GM sued them to get their cars back.

The body was designed by Ghia of Italy. I agree with Buck. When I see one of these I immediately thing 1965 Thunderbird.

I understand that if you sit at a stoplight idling too long you'll melt the asphalt under the car!
