Those were one of the best Caddies made. I worked at a Cadillac/Hummer dealer and an older fella had one of those in deep red with true wire wheels. I loved that car! Tell us more!

And what's it weigh?  Gotta be well over 2 tons.  Guess the 3.08 gears will help a bit.

How much of it's life has that thing spent in Florida?

You gotta get one of those old man fedora hats to put on the rear package shelf, that's a mandatory accessory in one of those things....

That bad boy originally listed for $37,448 and weighed in at a svelte 4,559 lbs.  Throw in the family and a full tank of gas and that poor little 305 would have over 5,000 lbs to haul around.eyepopping.gif  Too bad the original owner didn't cough up the extra $300 required to upgrade to the 350.

That car has Florida written all over it; I see tons just like it every time I am down there.  It looks to be in way too good of a shape to have weathered 16 Canadian winters, plus a big car like that in all white - not exactly a common colour choice for Canada, but very popular in the sunshine state.  Looks like it's got some tint on the windows as well to keep that Florida sun out.

I think we need to give it a nickname, what about "the great white whale"?
