Just picked this up today! 1960 Cadillac Fleetwood Sixty Special. Was one of the most expensive luxurious cars you could by in 1960. I've been fortunate enough to drive a good few nice cars but this thing is amazing, it drives like new. It's really solid and straight, just needs a little paint and the front seat repaired to make really nice Pretty impressive options list for a 49 year old car power steering power brakes power windows, including the vents power seat automatic headlamp dipper cruise control air conditioning power locks power trunk lock power antenna foot operated radio tuner    |

MOST JEALOUS. |

Beautiful! The thing on the dash is the autronic eye, which picks up the beam from an on coming vehicle and automatically dips the lights THAT is impressive! Does it still work driving it in this country, being on t'other side of the road and all?  |

The cruise control works too! |

Curiously the Americans like to call their windows, well, windows. Always have done. Guess it was only the British who thought it was a good idea to call a window a "light". I remember some manual I was reading for one of my old cars and it was going on about a "heated back light" and a "fixed or opening side light" and I was well confused until I realised a back light is a rear window and a side light is a window which is not fitted in a door. I had visions of a rear demister in the tail light.
