Great set, Leroy! You know, it won't be long before people will look at
cars like this behemoth in the same way as we look at dinosaur skeletons.
It's hard to imagine a country full of vehicles like this but that's what we
had back then. I have to admit, though, that this car was considered huge
even by North American standards back then.

A 29-year old work colleague was looking at a picture yesterday of a
1957 Eldorado Seville I have as my current desktop wallpaper on my work
computer and said, "It's hard to imagine a time when cars were all that
big.." So people already do almost view them as dinosaurs.

Great set of pictures, Leroy

I gues all those buggers with big US iron have had to save all year for the
petrol :-)

Yes, it's no joke when a 500 mile round trip costs you around £250 just
for the petrol.
