I believe that Jefferson Davis “Boss” Hogg was never given a fair chance. The camera always painted him as the villain…but was he really anything more than a misunderstood servant of the people? He was constantly fat shamed for his appetite for raw liver (with coffee) and he was surrounded by entirely incompetent law enforcement […]
Let me explain something about luxury to anyone who doesn’t understand true luxury goods. The most desirable or luxurious item isn’t the most useful, most fancy, or even the most expensive item…no…it is much more simple than that…insidiously simple…it is simply the most exclusive item. That is luxury. Having something that the “have nots” don’t […]
The controversial 1981-85 Cadillac Seville was one of legendary GM designer Bill Mitchell’s last designs. The bustle-back rear styling made waves when introduced, but it was the truly horrendous lineup of engines that did the car in. This generation of Seville had three of the most horrendous and half baked engines ever to come out […]
You can stop searching the internet. I’ve found the last thing. It’s done. Over. Finished. This is it. This is the last thing I’d ever expect. It isn’t the most unusual car found or the most wild or the most insane, but it is PEAK Americana. It is the ultimate and final solution of the […]
Cadillac used the Brougham designation on a number of vehicles over the years to designate a particular trim on various Cadillacs over the decades. However, when Cadillac split the Fleetwood Brougham up into to cars, they put the Fleetwood on the front-drive C-body and kept the Brougham name for a D-body luxury boat. These were […]
Oh boy, the early 80s. A time of big hair, neon clothes, and Cadillac trying to be cool by entering the compact luxury market with the Cimarron. GM was about as successful as selling arms to Iran to fund Contras. Today’s Cimarron is a typical J-body misfit, with a 4-cylinder engine, automatic transmission, and front-wheel […]
General motors made a number of wagons based on their body-on-frame C-body platform, including the Buick Estate, Oldsmobile Custom Cruiser, Pontiac Safari, and Chevrolet Kingswood and Townsman. But GM never gave Cadillac a big family friendly wagon, so you’ll need to find one that’s been converted by a car customizer, like this next thing. Find […]
I always found it hilarious that Cadillac used the names of fancy Southern European towns for their luxobarges during the malaise era. Imagine an alternative world where they would have picked cities in Mongolia and sold those cars on shortened chassis — this would be the Cadillac Ölgii Mörön, and it would be the best […]
At first glance this next car looks like some kind of hacksaw custom, which isn’t a problem, but the seller says it was originally a “flower car.” If you aren’t familiar with the cars of the funeral industry, this is a hearse with an open top, so that it can carry flowers or a casket […]
This next car comes as a tip from Tony who writes: This will get you noticed at the local campground. That might be true, but I’d like to ask the following; is that good or bad? Do you really want to be noticed when you are “camping”? Would you put a mattress in the back […]
