This is a 1956 Cadillac Coupe deVille. This is when cars really started to get big. Notice the massive amounts of sheet metal and chrome.
This one also was tastefully lettered in gold along with the insignias.
Notice the full width air vent under the windshield for ventilating the interior.
These cars also drove the gas station attendants crazy because the gas filler was accessed by swinging the tail light to one side and the filler was behind it. Also take notice the dual exhaust exits from the bumper something that todays car designers think is a new idea. I hope you enjoy.

They just don’t make tanks like that anymore! I cringe at the thought of trying to park one in the tiny little parking spaces typical at most shopping malls now.

You could tie old tires around it like a Tugboat and you wouldn’t have to worry. People would be running to their cars to move them Joan, LOL 🙂 Have a great evening.

I refer to these huge hunks of refined sheet metal as boats on wheels. Big and bulky, and oh, so sweet to look at.
