(34,135 posts)The front reminds me a little of my Mom's Caddy. Hers is a 1977 four door Sedan deVille powder blue with a white vinyl top, not convertible. It's got about 40,000 miles on it (maybe less) and is in great shape. The worst part about it is it's hardly ever driven anymore and it suffers from sitting. It's the only car Mom ever bought brand new and she will keep it as long as she lives. Since Dad passed away every couple of weeks my BIL starts it and takes Mom for a spin. People wave them down and offer to buy it, but she's not interested in selling it.

(Picture didn't turn out too well.)
The car had this winged figure on the radiator cap.
But I'd look at that car, and I'd ask my friend standing with me, "You know who I see in the back seat of that car?"
"Hitler?"
"No."
"Al Capone."
'Yeah."
I have no idea if that car was a gangster's, or bootlegger's car, or just a rich guy's car.

(46,314 posts)Easiest car in the world to work on, (straight 6,) and ran beautifully.

(7,208 posts)Apparently they fit rather easily. He would buy a clapped-out Gremlin for 200 bucks (this was 1985, mind you) and torture it until the body twisted up so much it wouldn't drive straight and then he would get a new one. Running over shopping carts and mailboxes didn't contribute to the longevity of the poor Gremlins.
