Something different: I might be wrong, but I guess the car that gets destroyed by the Caterpillar isn't the then almost new Cadillac. Or is it? |

Well, it's just lifted up to a vertical position (and the lifting process is not actually shown) so perhaps they did it without causing any damage. |

That's possible indeed, but I thought I had noticed a few differences. For example the mirrors and the shape of both the fender and the bumper. Besides the Caddy seems to be missing both the chromed wheel-arches and the chrome stripe on the side. I was hoping that you or another US-member could identify the car on the third pic. I could be wrong as well, of course. |
