Sure he could out the front he only needs a foot or so high, may have more between the wheels of the top car. Just has to see the road, none of the overhead lights and signs back then, plus minimal traffic.
Those rigs evolved as needed... or later. LoL

 

It's just hot-linked from a Google Image Search.

Glad ya can see it, though.
 

Some head scratchers...

I mighta made a mistake.  I made a guy a ridiculously low offer for a vehicle.

I think he's gonna take it.

Post some pics.  Do all the windows work on this one? 

I've had several Cadilac's and they where all good cars.

Sure is pretty but that's a lot of polishing surface. Maybe you can train the squirrels to dust and polish with their tails. LoL.
Car prices are nuts, used cars went up 43% in a year, so of course does insurance.
Might be a good time to grab a caddy while fuel is up.

I stumbled on this Chevy pickup that sold at Mecum before the pandemic.
Chrome wheels and looks pristine, but it's a long bed and not very exciting paint.
So unless the steering wheel is solid gold I can't fathom the price.

Heh, me and you both, brother.

Ain't nothing gonna be cheap on this thing.

I can't come up with a name for this one.  I'm leaning toward 'Scarlet', but I'm not really wild about that one.
 

How about Caddiesh Hack and go to work for Uber? 

Red Wiggler? It is the Cadillac of worms…

Took actual possession this past Wednesday.  Who knew it could be so hard to get two ppl in the same place at the same time for 15 minutes?

Here is my particular 2008 Cadillac SRX:


It's some kinda performance/sport version.  Lots o' buttons...And they all work!  Mostly,  The heated steering wheel doesn't.  Heat, that is.  The passenger side rear door doesn't unlock every time.  May be just a fuse and a dirty actuator.  Fingers crossed.  Huge power sunroof, and shade.  Black leather.  Beautiful wood, real, too, I think.  But an awful lot of hard plastic, more than I would have been happy with had I bought this thing new.  Runs good.  Speedo registers 160.  Tach redlines at 6500.

I'm just the third owner.  Guy who bought it new was a transfer pilot (I think that's what Owner #2 said) who only used it to drive to airports where he had to fly somebody's plane somewhere.  He was 92 when he decided he didn't need to drive anymore, and sold it to Owner #2, who has had it the last two yrs.  #2 is a neat freak machinist who works in a local machine shop, I've been inside it before, and this shop is cleaner than most operating rooms.  The car is so clean inside, and not just for a 14 yr old car.  It's rly clean.

No mechanical issues as of yet.  Odometer is showing 106k, and the manual calls for transmission fluid/filter change at 100k, as well as spark plugs, and antifreeze/coolant change and flush.  We'll see.  I probably won't touch nothing til something fails or breaks.

Caddys have always had lots of buttons and switches working little automatic gizmos.
Good luck with your new ride,
