Cadillac was the premier luxury brand 50 years ago.Until they gave up on building large V* cars and tried to downsize to emulate the European and Japanese cars. I would buy one today but they were innovating back in their day. They seem to have lost the vision what a Cadillac should be.

They were the first in.

1. The synchromesh gearbox.
2. Fully covered car.
3.Automatic climate control.
4. Electirc starter.

I might have missedsome, but they sure were out there in the time.

My car has a backup camera and it really is one of the best inventions fr cars ever

[killah]

Caddy's always had tail fins, they look weird now but they were hip back then

[snooper]

They look huge, try find a parking spot in Burbank for one of those today

My dad had a sedan de ville and it was a nice ride at the time, now he drives an infiniti.

[STICK]

They weren't called land yachts for no reason, most cars form that era were humongous. Gas was cheap and status meant some thing.

[Sneaky]

They had character, all cars they make today look boring now.
