Wow Otto love the Caddy. when I was a little kid my dad was the service manager at the last Cadillac distributorship in the US and we had a 55 Coupe Deville, The old man that owned the place ordered an extra back seat bottom and had it customized to fit and make a bed out of the back seat so us kids could sleep on long trips. loved that car!!

That's pretty cool. My girlfriend can sleep in the backseat on long trips. She's 5 feet nothing and lay back there without scrunching up.
It's funny that a two door coupe is longer than a modern Lincoln Town Car and as wide as a HumVee.
'57 Chevy's look like Toyota Camry's parked next to that car. It's also a lot better on fuel than the Toronado. On my trip to Tampa at Christmas I averaged 15mpg at an average speed of 76mph. That was with two bikes on a rack and the trunk loaded to the gills.
Without all that extra crap I can get 17-18 mpg. (365cid V8 300hp)
