Talk me out of this...

[sc_rufctr]

Cool old car!

Luxobarges are a lot of fun. I'd find that hard to resist.

[drcoastline]

Talk you out of it? That thing is cool.

I just don't see the attraction of it. It's from a bygone era of automotive excess and I was hoping I would not see something like that again. Bloated, floaty boat.....

[DonDavis]

Do it, dooo eeet...

Assuming you already have 10 cars and the space for all of them I'd say go for it!
A couple of lawn chairs in the back at the drive in theater you'd be a hit!

i would regret that purchase about 1 week in.

for starters, it would fit in about six parking spaces in San Fransisco.

I see someone driving that, I'm thinking serial killer.

Is your fraternity name 'D-Day' and are you planning to drive it out of a cake in a parade?

That thing has to be among the worst answers to a question nobody wondered to asked. You should definitely bid to win!!

[Tobra]

nope, Otter, definitely Otter

[Steve Carlton]

If you get it, we can say you f'd up. You trusted us.

Actually Cadillac made quite a few Flower Cars. They were decked out to match the limo for funeral homes. They were used to haul the flowers to the internment from the funeral home or church. The funeral homes ordered them to blend in with the funeral.

They are fairly rare, as they are either trashed, rusted out from neglect or in collectors hands and kept pristine most of the time.

And like everything else, the price is all what someone is willing to pay. Often they are way cheaper than the other cars in a car show, and 95% of the people say they have never heard of them, or seen one.

That one looks more like a custom job. It is not yet another 32 Ford, Camaro, or Mustang. If you buy it, have fun with it.

Want one of these just to piss people off.

The 53 Eldorado convert is a beautiful car...also the Buick Roadmaster...Along with the 55 Lincoln Continental..Ford lost money on everyone of those.

Then for just shear over the top gaudiness...the 59 Caddy Eldorado convert...that is what America was all about...the 1960 was toned down but....Back in the day the 59's were not well received..it wasn't until the late 80's that they attained cult status..especially with the Japanese.

Find something else to blow your money on...sooner than later the novelty will wear off and you will be wanting to off load the boat.

Or you can buy it and sell it to one of the chumps...ahhh I mean Board members who say they like it...lets see them put their money where their mouths are...URP...I think I threw up a little in my mouth..

If ya want buy a Caddy boat pick a 63 or 64 convert...the last of the tail fin cars..

Well, probably true, but romancing the new high school band flautist with pop's '65 Fleetwood Brougham Hardtop Caddy worked like a charm back in the day.

Just sayin'.
