Pedaling around today, I happened on this Dusky Rose Caddy. Just then, Meredith came home and told me about the car. She’s done God’s work, that is, convincing her husband, Hinton, that GM cars are better than Fords.

One of my favorite cars. Love the sharp-edged styling and burly engine and FWD. I think GM had a great decade in the 60s, from the rear engined, turbocharged Corvair, the aluminum V8 for Oldsmobile (that Rover used for decades), the IRS for the same Olds/Pontiac compact, an OHC six for the Pontiac Tempest, to this Toronado/Eldorado front drive system that is so sturdy that it was used under GM motorhomes in the 70s. Technical innovations aside, many great looking cars were offered, such as the 1964 Riviera, second gen Corvair and the Corvettes. Add to this list if you can.
