@kevins It's hideous!  Some clown or AI is attempting to be cute.  Failed mission.

@kevins 

I see nightmare and I'm awake.  Unless it was an ambulance, there is no nice Cadillac station wagon that could be cool.  I say the same thing for the Escalades today.  It's demeaning to a luxury car that is the pinnacle of styling.

If it's the 1950s and we're talking about American cars, it's all about 1956 for me, both the Chrysler 300B and the Continental Mark II.

Don't forget the '56 Oldsmobile 98 Holiday.  Sleek, sporty, chrome, and bumper to bumper beautiful.  

56 OLDSMOBILE

@georgeschire It’s not AI and I happen to think it was a very clever endeavor (see what I did there George? Let’s see you make a rhyme out of Oldsmobile!) It was created using a ‘56 Caddy flower car as a base, and I adore it. C’mon group, like or dislike?

@kevins It might be a pickup but I believe it's a flower car that some funeral homes used to carry flowers to the grave site. Many companies that built professional cars also built these.
