Car pic of the day...

[Ben in LA]

I ain't no car fan either... so maybe a thread of pictures of cars can be created so the rest of us don't fall asleep at our keyboards

Yup...but I won't fall asleep!

My first contribution? I LOVE old-school mid-1970s Cadillacs. Even though they didn't handle worth of shit, drank gas like it was going out of fashion (500 c.i. V8!), and was essentially a more expensive Buick Electra 225/Oldsmobile 98...I'd STILL drive one today.

Blue California tags, please!

Land yacht ! Nice.
I love the old Cadillacs. I'm also one of those people who would rather spend thousands to maintain a car properly and keep it on the road and looking good ,than trade it in just because something expensive needs fixing.
Here's what I drive. Heavy ,but drives like a sports car. "Not your father's Cadillac"
2000 Cadillac ETC.

Well I'm not going to afford a fancy daily driver. So I'm hoping to get my hands on a Lotus 7 kit. I could build it up and rip around on it at the track. They are reallly fast.

Just saw this '65 on eBay. Similar to one that I had back in the late '70's.

Is it a hurse?

Mine was a hearse, the one in the pic/on eBay is a combination hearse/ambulance. My first one, a '70, was a combo. The floor panels with the casket rollers flip over to smooth tile, there is a set of fold-down jump seats for the attendant/EMT, and some of them have removable landau panels to cover the rear windows when in a funeral procession.

The '65s were especially unique in that Cadillac had restyled its line from the finned '64s to the new, straight lined 65/66 style. The matching Fleetwood '75 limousine, however, was still in the '64 fin design as Caddy had abandoned the stock limousine and handed it over to coach builder Lehman-Peterson for the '65 model year. LP backed out and handed it back to Caddy, too late for the new body dies to be stamped, so the '65 limo was just a '64 with trim tweaks. Made them a little out of place in a funeral when the hearses and flower cars were being turned out in the new style.

It reminds me of The Ghostbusters. I'm a sucker for the 67 nova. Love the way it looks and theres that Deuce Coup song from The Beach Boys!
