One fine mess (Pittsburgh - never have so few worked so recklessly to shaft so many)

I'm still waiting for the Packard to come back. ;~))

I hear you. The first car I owned under my own name was a 1974 Plymouth Duster.

[buccaneer81]

those Caddys were only Chevys with chrome-plated lock washers.

Your dad was right. Look no further than the 1982 Cadillac Cimmaron and the 2000 Cadillac Catera.

[Ditto]

Mine was a '56 Olds 88. A beast that leaked from every orifice and got about a half-mile per gallon, and I loved it. It was all mine.

[Ditto]

How about that 4-6-8 (gas saving) engine Caddy had in the 70s. That puppy sure chased a lot of Mr. Goodwrench mechanics to competitors.

[buccaneer81]

Here's mine, same color and all...

[buccaneer81]

I remember that. The big joke at the time was that the engine didn’t drop to four cylinders until 70 mph, which was 15 mph over the speed limit back then.

That’s what so many people can’t get through their heads.

How many “rice-burners” are assembled right here in the good old US of A by (non-union) American workers?

[Eyes Unclouded]

Spent time with in a research group at CMU. It and U. Pitt were like an oasis in a desert of industrial decay. Still some hardy folk but I don’t see much a future for that region.

Mine.

1949 Chevy
