That’s a sub-compact compared to my mother’s 65 Oldsmobile Delta 88. That thing had a 455 V-8, a swimming pool in the trunk, sundeck on the hood, and a spare bedroom in the back seat. I did a Dukes of Hazzard flight over a bridge at 103 mph. It was like landing on a spring mattress—took 2 days to stop bobbing up and down.

What a great word picture you made in Post#22!

Occasionally this image of a '67 Cadillac pops up in nightmares from when an old lady hit me while I was on a friend's bicycle whose brakes failed at the exact wrong time.

A tuft of bluish hair over the steering wheel of the little old woman driving it. A witness said she just kept on going as if she'd hit a pothole, never looking back. I flew a good 25 feet and road-rashed another ten. Five broken bones, face half torn off, three months hospitalized.

"The 1967 Cadillac Calais features a 429 cubic inch (7.0 L) V8 engine producing 340 horsepower, with a 0-60 mph time of approximately 8.5 seconds. It is available in various body styles, including a hardtop coupe and sedan, and has a wheelbase of 129.5 inches." Base curb weight: 4,696 lbs. It got an amazing 9.2 miles-per-gallon!

Never found her but always wondered if she knew or not.
