I hope the trunk of Biff's Caddy is large enough for that tennis racket.

I had a friend in high school who's mom had one of those 2-door Caddies. The doors weighed 600 pounds and were so big you couldn't open them all the way up when parked next to another car.

Looks like he's getting ready to smack her with it!!!

My parents had a 1974 Coupe DeVille, white with red interior. Mom didn't like it and wanted a Lincoln so the Caddy got sold and she got a Mark IV.

John Ward and his bad @ss Cadillac. As a 13 yr-old, or so, I stared at this Car & Driver article for weeks. Found these photos on the Googles.

Anti-Establishment Mint was a standard color offered by Ford from 1969-1972. It was available on many models, including those with a wild west feel – Maverick, Mustang and Pinto. Perhaps Ford felt that the bad pun would appeal to a renegade audience.

The Convair NB-36H was an experimental aircraft that carried a nuclear reactor to test its protective radiation shielding for the crew, but did not use it to power the aircraft. Nicknamed "The Crusader", it was created for the Aircraft Nuclear Propulsion program (ANP for short), to show the feasibility of a nuclear-powered bomber. Its development ended with the cancellation of the ANP program.

It does look good except for the tired looking wheels!

Ran into this guy around the corner at the park this morning. 1935 Riley. Was owned by the VP of Ford. Closing in on 90 years old!
Timing adjuster in the center of steering wheel…visitor pass is almost as big as the W/S!

A supertanker is the largest moving object on the planet. If you're a well-heeled middle-eastern trillionaire, why not tackle a moped conversion?



Of course, it will need a side stand; note the gold-plated Rolls-Royce tenders.
