Yessir, those are the biggest "Dagmars" I've seen in a long time!

Quote:
The Dagmar bumper consists of dual chrome bullet-point bulges ("dagmars") on the front bumpers of Cadillacs, Buicks and Packards built during the 1950s. During the Korean War, a 40 mm self-propelled anti-aircraft tank was named Dagmar's Twin 40s. In the 1950s and 1960s, a blonde female midget wrestler worked as Darling Dagmar, playing off her more statuesque inspiration.

There were many concept cars that I enjoy viewing. But that Cadillac Cyclone is just grotesque!

Notice the similarity to the Firebird Concept.

Of all of the great designs that GM turned out in the '50s and '60s, this is the one they chose to inspire the designers of today?

To me, the car is so over the top crazy that it's cool. I'd totally rock that car.

The PY Online Forums is the largest online gathering of Pontiac enthusiasts anywhere in the world.
