Gotta agree with Greg on this one.
Caddy taillights were molded into the fender. Imperials were known for their "hanging by a stem" headlights and tail lights.

Not a Caddy for sure....well, pretty sure.
Get a load of the guy peddling the ##### on the bike. I think her legs are longer. Why does the guy have to do all the work?

Here are a couple of my wife's '64 on our way to the Pontiac, Illinois Show September 2016. It was the first show after restoration--ran like a top!!! 13 mpg isn't great, but who cares when you're driving a 4 speed, Tripower GTO, 75+ mph on the freeway?

That car is so ugly, it's beautiful.
But sorry Goatracer, that's still not the car. The car pulling the Judge has a swept back fin tip at the top. Not sure what it is but still looks to be in the Chrysler/Imperial family.

I can't think of any other car that has the rear end sweep down like that, not to mention the VERY distinctive "shark fin" tail fins. Maybe a customized Caddy?




Anyhow, back to the original topic.

Possible. Definitely looks like a Caddy fin but the tailight, I can't ID.

I'm gonna say it's a 1961 Imperial based on the shape of the taillight.

This is a nest thread!

I like it because it can give a candid glimpse into a time before I existed;
It's from one of the first posts, but I like this because you can see it's devoid of staging - it looks almost as though someone was walking by and took a picture;
At first I thought it WAS staged(!)

Maybe I should watch that again today... the snow is falling here today.

Bob completely misunderstood when the station owner told him to "slide on in to the pumps".
