A few years ago, I had a Jaguar 4.2 litre V8 saloon. A good car, but it lacked, among other features, the Cadillac's rear passenger foot rests. A major failing.

Don't Laugh, You Know You Want a Ride in This Cadillac

( before you die, not after). The auction listing says: This 1974 Cadillac Fleetwood Talisman Brougham is a 60,967 actual mile example from new. The car retains its original Cotillion White paint, blue interior and full white padded vinyl roof. It feature...  

A Magnificent Land Yacht!

Just needs a long stretch of smooth fresh asphalt.

"Long Stretch"

Yes, that's the correct terminology. Long driveway and garage too!

Superb description!

It's clean (especially not even fingerprints) ...

Where there's a will...

...and there must have been a bench seat option : )

In regards to style or performance I much prefer my dad's '62 Coupe de Ville. Then again, his Caddy didn't have that pinky finger diameter strut brace. ;-)

- Like this but pop's car was cream white. A classy floater if there ever was one. ...  

That's better!

Well... Not for me. :)

Closest I came to this was a white Riviera convertible with red leather

 
 By: cazalea : April 15th, 2024-15:55
I miss it too. But wait! There was also the Chrysler Imperial Crown Coupe, 19 foot long 2-door black & white with white leather Sigh … ...  

A land yacht to be sure.

Cotillion white paint and Medici crushed velour…

What’s not to love!?

LOL. Good image!

I was told it was easy to drive

If you have a rear-end accident, you deny it, saying "The front of the car was in the next county, I can't be responsible for what happens to the back end..."

Brings back MANY memories... Drove A Caddy....

Mom had the 72 Caddie land yacht and while it didn't float like a modern Bentley / Rolls, it did 'whaff about' gently and smoothly. Lots of weight, you really feel it, and plenty of room for eight underage teenagers. Was the first car i ever drove 'often'... 

My first car was a white Oldsmobile, maybe that's why I like this

 
 By: cazalea : April 15th, 2024-19:16
Like this: I can't remember the interior but it was probably a mix of fabric and vinyl I also had an Olds Touring Sedan, dark blue with dark blue leather that was pretty sweet Not velour though ...  

Love it!

Cool car, but I didn't want to own one,

the gas prices here in Austria would eat up most of my watch funds. This is the classic "Mob Car" for me, I always imagine some italo-american gentlemen in bordeaux suits with skinny ties on the front seats and at least one dead body, plastic bags and a s... 

No bodies in the trunk

Wow, impressive beast.
