GM created sex in mechanical form.
Probably one of THE most gorgeous Caddys EVER created.




Those fins...........OMG.
Those tail lights...........OMFG.
The CHROME!!!!!!

And the paint you can see your own reflection in!!!!

Beauty is truly in the eyes of the beholder. You have to admit that this car was the pinnacle of a very dubious design idiom.
 
It's hideous. It's the gaudiest abortion I have ever seen. It's typical GM, of course: form over function. Styling over engineering or comfort. Much rather have a Chrysler.
 

The self employed job I contemplating going into. Finding restoring and selling classic cars. I know there will be a lot of competition but it will keep me busy.
 
I had a '76 in French Vanilla.

Of all the cars I've had, I miss this one the most.

I got it in highschool and fixed it up.

It looks badassed...500 cid V8 (that's an 8.2 liter for you youngins)...BUT...it's the sister to the Olds Toronado ...the 1966 car of the year...and the first US built front wheel drive.

Didn't stop me from pumping up the air shocks in it the back :cuckoo: .
 


I don't care what model it is, what color it is, or what it's equipped with.............all I need is those double lit tail fins and I'm just happier than anything you can imagine!!!!
 
Look at this one!!!!!! Different year and model, but still..........OMG!

 
The Bullet Bumper always got me giggling when I was younger.
Looked like those horribly funny cone bras women wore back then!!!! ROFL

 
Of course we gotta have a pink one.................

 
In the conversation of show vs. go, I usually am on the "go" side. If you're not driving it, then you have 10% of the fun.
