Holy shit-you guys are BRUTAL!

What happened to "respect your elders" ??????................LOL




Alright bishes.....here was my first car. I turned 16 years old in 1973. This belonged to my grandparents. I rescued it from their garage. It had been sitting in there for 5 years-undriven! It's a 1960 Cadillac-the largest production Cadillac ever built, at that time.

It took me about 5 minutes to get the whole damn thing around a corner.

My friends dad used to have a '70.5 Camaro, that thing would have been worth a decent amount if he kept it. His uncle also had a Chevelle IIRC. I believe he was towing it on a trailer and the trailer flipped, totaled the car.

^^^ Indeed, that sucker was HUGE!

It was a fun car to drive, but it was like a Sherman Tank! The cool thing was, it was all electronic. This was before they had brights. It had an "electronic eye" on the dash which triggered the high beams.

I am going to try to relive some of my younger years and find a good condition CRX or a 6th gen Civic hatch as a work car. My GF is gonna kill me because I told her I wanted my Crown Vic so bad, and now I want something different.

Thats what I'm trying to find, but those are more rare than a CRX with no aftermarket parts

OK-I'm at 99.9 anyway.


I dated this really attractive girl in high school. She loved that Cadillac. Since everything was electric (windows, etc....), there was a button in the middle of the floorboard that actually moved the radio in a seek and scan mode!


Well, I told this girl that "the car was magic".... and she believed me!! (I know....you're thinking, "she's in high school and she believes it's a magic car????"


Anyway, I could reach this button that makes the radio seek and scan to the next channel by pushing the button on the base of the floorboard with my foot-the button was located almost directly in front of the brake pedal.


I told her to say the "magic words" and the radio would move to the next station! So I made up some stupid magic word, she said it, I pushed the button on the floorboard with my foot (and no, she couldn't tell I pushed the button with my foot), and low and behold-the radio magically moved to the next station!


This freaked her out, with delight! She told everyone in high school that I had a "magic car". After that, my car was known as the Magic Cadillac!

That's hilarious.

Did that button also make her clothes "magically" fall off?

If you think that thing is big you should see the 4 door version, you can fit a civic hatch in the trunk

Ok Steven, I read THAT story, so I'd really like you to go ahead and give us the REAL story about how some high school blonde ended up calling your Cadillac "Magic".

Yes, it was a bitch to park. Like I said, it took about 5 minutes to get the whole damn thing around a corner!

Gasoline with less than a dollar back then! My earliest recollection of gas prices was 19 cents! Can you believe that-it was back in the early '70's.

The very first new car I ever bought was a Datsun 280Z. It was gorgeous-I modified it a lot too. It could take any grade of gas. I always put Premium in the Z. Back then, Premium gas was called "Ethel". I remember saying to my Mom, "when gas hits $1.00 a gallon, I'm going back to regular gas".
