Some day you'll be white-haired and old, if you're lucky. And the world isn't.

Fleet keep posting about your nice Cadillacs. 60s and 70s full size Ford, Lincoln, Mercury and Cadillacs are the best cars I have ever seen and all I want to drive from now on.

But I do agree that the new ones are too small.
Some impressive photos, Fleet . . .

What is the last (bluish gray) one? My guess is a '58 El Dorado.

by the way, the only reason anyone would be anti a CTS-V is they cannot afford one.

Those "tanks" of the 60s/70s are the best ones... In my opinion anyway.

I have later model and foreign cars, but these cars have a style all their own.

The last one is a 1955 Eldorado Convertible. Very rare!

I think so, too. The '60s/'70s have that true "big car" feel.

Yeah, I love the 60s and 70s cars too, especially the early 70s Cadillacs. I think as long as they fit into the topic there is not an issue. I think its informative and comparisons are important between cars.

Keep on keeping on! I love this automotive forum!

Thanks, Tenneseestorm.
I know there are a lot of classic car fans here and believe me I try to hold back from posting too much about such cars. Sometimes, it just can't be helped!

I know it. I have always been a fan of anything from the early 70s, especially cars. My first car was a 1972 Cadillac and I have always had a soft spot for them, as well as other old cars - even 50s-60s models.

In reply to the original topic - I like the new Cadillac CTS-V, but I like the DTS and Escalade ESV better! I love that huge SUV!
