Trans Am? I love those. Reminds me of when I was a kid - I just loved Smokey and the Bandit. Cadillacs? I love those too. If they were good enough for Elvis then that's all I need to know. You clearly have good taste. Not bad for an American Not bad at all.

Careful my friend. Elvis also had a Stutz Blackhawk. It was the ultimate in bad taste It even made the Edsel look pretty.

Ya know, I like a lot of cars that are considered to be in bad taste. They're funny. They're to be driven with one's tongue firmly in cheek.
But I just googled that Stutz Blackhawk. No beans, Baby. Hooo! That b*tch was a hot mess. Uglier than a bag of frogs. I'd sooner drive a Daewoo. Damn.

Man alive! That Stutz Blackhawk is 100% pimpmobile, you would have to drive that wearing a velvet suit and wide brimmed felt hat O0

Wait-wait,... You may be onto something. Full pimp suit is a must. Gold spoke rims. Disco ball interior light, or maybe a tiny crystal chandelier. Hydraulic switches to raise, lower, bounce and hop the car at will. Extreme glitter paint, as commonly seen on speed boats of the 70s. Long white Muppet fur covering the floor, dash and door panels. Leopard upholstery. A television and bar in the rear stocked with cheap malt liquor, Southern Comfort, and hobo wine with a screw cap.
I might be able to roll like that.
Do you think a velvet painting of a naked black woman with an afro and obscenely pointed nipples would be too much as a headliner?

I think you maybe a bit late for most of the above. Liberace also used to own one. If there was one man who was known for extravagant flamboyance it was Liberace

Granted, the Stutz isn't the most attractive car in the world. But today, a good one'll set you back 40 grand. If I had the space though, I'd buy this beaut.

I wonder how many bodies you could fit in that boot / trunk?

Those old ones are very nice, but anything before 1977 is so lacking in modern conveniences they really are not that much fun to drive. (or rather the mod-cons are there, they're just a bit weak)
The powerful 77-78 Eldorado is the perfect blend of modern comfort/toys and ancient land yacht.
I've actually been in the trunks of my larger Cadillacs, replacing speakers, cleaning and what-not. It's impossible to keep from laughing at the sheer magnitude. I am 6ft tall and when I found myself all comfortably sprawled out in my trunk I just had to giggle.
I'm sure you could fit at least 6 average bodies in there, more with a bit of cramming.
