Cadillac's are hardly representative.
They're known for being stupid sized.

I'm disappointed none of the Cadillacs are pink, btw. :(

They are the size most cars were in the US before the 1973 oil shock. This is the car I learned to drive in (though it was years old by then). It was the fourth-best-selling car in US automotive history. The engine?  A 455 ci (7.5 l) V-8! It got like 15 milers to the gallon, which is why my dad didn't care if I beat it up learning to drive, because gas was no longer 15 cents per gallon.



US cars were stupid BIG back in the 1970s as CC noted.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar
