Land yacht ! Nice.
I love the old Cadillacs. I'm also one of those people who would rather spend thousands to maintain a car properly and keep it on the road and looking good ,than trade it in just because something expensive needs fixing.
Here's what I drive. Heavy ,but drives like a sports car. "Not your father's Cadillac"
2000 Cadillac ETC.

Re: Car pic of the day...
Just saw this '65 on eBay. Similar to one that I had back in the late '70's.

The '65s were especially unique in that Cadillac had restyled its line from the finned '64s to the new, straight lined 65/66 style. The matching Fleetwood '75 limousine, however, was still in the '64 fin design as Caddy had abandoned the stock limousine and handed it over to coach builder Lehman-Peterson for the '65 model year. LP backed out and handed it back to Caddy, too late for the new body dies to be stamped, so the '65 limo was just a '64 with trim tweaks. Made them a little out of place in a funeral when the hearses and flower cars were being turned out in the new style.

It reminds me of The Ghostbusters. I'm a sucker for the 67 nova. Love the way it looks and theres that Deuce Coup song from The Beach Boys!
