My Grandad had ONE vice that he allowed himself-He drove Cadillacs. I can BARELY remember a 'blue '56 Sedan De Ville, I LOVED the tan '60 SdV, didn't care for the avocado '68 SdV, & I still have his Pride 'n' Joy, a '73 Fleetwood Brougham. He bought it In Louisville,Ky, WITHOUT consulting my Granmaw...Who was a VERY suspicious, TIGHT woman. She squeezed every dime she got. If you DIDN'T save a dollar & a dime outta every dollar you made, you WERE Going to Go To Hell, no doubt about it. Well, they were in Louisville, Fritz comes tootlin' up in that big Brougham, that kinda set the War Clouds up...Then, she saw the Window Sticker...$10,243, & some odd cents...THAT did it. "FRITZ !! Are you out of your MIND ?!? Ten Thousand DOLLARS for a CAR ?!?" She was Fuzzed Up, as we say down here, for about a month over that..But Grandaddy LOVED that car, even tho we took his keys away about 2 years later...That car was simply too big for him to handle.
