That's a beautiful car, and yet the front overhang is still less than that other overwrought front end.

Perhaps, but there's no comparison of the length of the hood and distance from the steering wheel to the front bumper. Driving the Caddy was always an adventure. I never knew exactly where the front end was. I sold it in 1969 to buy an engagement ring. I still have the wife!

Meh, I'd rather have the car.
Course, I don't know YOUR wife.

My last American built car was a 73 Cadillac Eldorado. Big and unwieldy on the outside and small on the inside. Been a Jaguar guy ever since with the exception of an 82 928.

I doubt that you would have kept the Eldorado for 50 years. But if you really want one now, there are lots of '67 Eldorados for sale and you can buy one.

But you can't buy the last 50 years with my wife.

I had a 1979 Thunderbird for many years, just about as long as the Eldorado. That was a nice car.

Total of all my wives isn't even 20 years yet. Course there was a lot of fun time between them.

So, Cee Jay you're in Utah - is it true that it's legal in Utah for a man to have 3 or more wives? That's polygamy, right? And if you only have 2 wives, that's bigamy. But the poor guy with only 1 wife - that's monotony!

I've had many wives while in Utah; some mine, some not.
Also, I'm the only guy who I know who could say "Got married four times, divorced once, and I'm single". Not now though, still married this last time.

I hope that doesn't mean that at least two are buried out in Moab somewhere.

A couple ARE buried, but not in Moab. Gross place. Too rocky to dig there anyway. Now, out near Nevada on the Flats...... that another story. Lots of salt to shrivel them bodies right up. Plus no critters to dig stuff back up.
