It looks like something that I would not want adorned to my hood honestly... something on a dog...

 

[slowchevy]

it's an old Cadillac DeVille

I'll look in that gallery to find the picture of the actual car, there's probably one or two.

Yep, it is.

Dead giveaway was those cowl vents at the glass.

Damn thing is a tank, jeez

Surprisingly they're about 4400 pounds

That's how things were back in the 40's and 50's, everybody liked the big flashy ornaments

It's actually a '55 for sure.

The Pontiac guess was close.

Even has a nice big back seat...lol.


Love those old cars. You look at garages with houses of that era, though, and talk about a disconnect in size....
