Oh yes, a convertible caddy seems very Texan. Rather JJ Ewing sort of style, maybe put longhorns on the nose.

SKrew Ralph Nader, I liked the Corvair as well. The four carb little jobbie took ages to get running right but it was a fun thing to work on, at least I think the one I worked on back in the sixties had 4 carbs, long time ago.

I don't know if I want a car older than myself. In my case it would be pre 19511. I've been around those cars, my FiL and some friends of his and mine had/have those cars. Freakin' parts alone are a fortune if you can find them, the cars weight more than Sherman tanks and the real old ones require a Master's Degree in Mechanical Engineering just to start. I never did figure out how to start a '37 Ford Phaeton the old man had.

The pride of his fleet was an early '30s Packard. This guy pulled it out of the Great Swamp in Jersey around 1958 as little more than just a frame. By 1968 he was winning so many trophies with it they asked him not to show it anymore.
