In 1967 I was a Sophomore in college (soon to become an enlisted member of the US Army) and I bought my first car of my very own.

It was a 1956 Cadillac Series 62 4-Door Sedan DeVille.

In terms of functionality, it was just what a young man needed. Roomy, comfortable, dependable and a cavernous back seat.

It did have one quirky feature.
It was covered in Gray Velvetex.

Yes - my car was "furry."

During the intervening years, I have been met with general skepticism and outright disbelief when I have described this car.

But I note with some satisfaction that what goes around comes around and what was old is now new again.

Quod Erat Demonstrandum...
