Thank you so much for this, you're a pal! I have to disagree with your calling it "inconspicuous", though. It became that way after the world copied it, but you can believe me when I say that at the time, it stood out like a spaceship from Jupiter. In my VERY early youth, I worked at a Cadillac dealer when these first came out, and was lucky enough to have owned one (a '76) a few years later. I went along with the mechanics and salespeople on all the training runs around suburban Portland, Oregon. And people would stop, point, and stare. Drivers of other cars nearly caused accidents when we drove by. It was a revealation at the time, and probably the last time GM or Cadillac could sell a car on styling alone. I do like you're addition of the boat-tail Rivieras too.
