Classy! Thanks, truckface! Very interesting, and makes complete sense. A Cadillac 75 would not be a common sight, but the fact it is tailing the Sheriff's car here suggests that once the scene is done, Mr. Gleason could get in the car as if a trailer, or ride off somewhere. I knew he had a Lincoln Lehmann-Peterson circa 1968, but didn't know about this Cadillac. He lived like Hollywood royalty, and he deserved it! A difficult early life and a brilliant actor. A golden era for actors and cars, even if it was the malaise era for the latter!!!!
