DynaMike ◊ 2007-03-02 23:25	Sorry Car nerd, but I'd say 1956 Cadillacs had horizontal chrome trim on the front fender until the vertical bar, hadn't they?
car nerd ◊ 2007-03-02 23:40	You don't think this looks like a 56? Maybe this will help: http://www.car-nection.com/yann/Dbas_txt/Phocad56.htm Scroll down the page to see a picture of a 56 Fleetwood 75
DynaMike ◊ 2007-03-02 23:59	Hmmm. yes, you're right All the other series have got their horizontal chrome as far as the vertical bar, except the 75... And indeed, there is a chrome line on the rear fender. You win
car nerd ◊ 2007-03-03 00:03	It's not a matter of winning, DynaMike. It's how you play the game The clue for me were the exhaust tips in the bumper. This was the only year they were ovoid. 54 & 55 were round.
