I had always liked the 61 - 63 Continental with the 'suicide doors'. It was actually somewhat downsized from the 1960 and earlier models. The slab-sided 61 was a ground breaking design into simplicity and classic style rare in the 1960's. Owned a handsome 63 for awhile back in the late 1970s.
The largest car we ever owned was a hand-me-down (from Mother in law) Fleetwood d'Elegance from 1976 - the last of the truly big Caddys. We jokingly referred to her as the USS Nimitz (The car - not mother in law!)
Very funny Sam. It brings to mind, a friend of mine had a late seventies Plymouth station wagon, not sure what model, but BIG. It was the purest white color I had ever seen. I hung the tag on it as MOBY DICK. He hated the name, but it stuck with all our work buddies, and poor old Skip could never shake the name until he sold it. Bob
