Cadillac went full-on retro?

I think it works in the manner of the 2001/05 Retro-Bird © except for the rear fender which I feel is too literally 1948. If it gently sloped-off without the prominent bump (!) it would work just as well and not put-off potential buyers.

Hopefully, 'they're' in the drivers seat.

Or maybe the back seat?

Hmm. Less than lovely, but I get the idea behind it. I agree the rear "hips" are too dated. They have to go. Oh, and I thought doors might be useful as well.

OK, now if this turns out to NOT BE PHOTO-SHOPPED.... I'm moving to Katmandu!
BTW: Choosing the proper styling cues among Cadillac's vast portfolio to best incorporate into a retro-themed new release would be a daunting task but certainly there are ways to facilitate such a bold rolling statement..... but that ain't it! 😬

They have Photoshop in Katmandu. You can't get away from it.

It may not be perfect, but it sure is better (in my view) than some of the things foisted upon us now days by corporate and governmental edicts.
