We had a blue and white 4 door Chevy Bel Air my dad bought brand new in late ‘57.

In ‘65 his brother gave him a Cadillac—his 1958 Cadillac 60 Special. It was a huge car with fins. Picked up my wife for our first date in 1971 in that tank—it was painted battleship grey.

Had every piece of chrome imaginable, plus fender skirts. Used to clean the whitewalls with Brillo. It took a long time to wash that car.

The gas cap was under the left rear taillights—which were hinged for access. In NJ, we had(they still have) gas attendants to pump your gas. We used to get a kick watching the attendants try to figure out where the gas went. Then we’d have to tell them.

It had air conditioning and drove so smoothly. A lot of power in the hands of a 17 year old!
