Horrid two-toning. Unbefitting a regal Cadillac! |

Isn't this particular car the one that was raced in that infamous Mexican Rally? |

Not Mexico but 1950 Le Mans entry by Cunningham team for a Cadillac Series 62 DeVille; finished 10th. Now displayed at AACA museum - Link to "www.conceptcarz.com" . Also /vehicle_319137-Cadillac-Series-62-Coupe-de-Ville-6237DX-1950.html . -- Last edit: 2011-03-11 15:56:53 |

Its a Sedan, or coupe? I remember this car for the Le Mans 24 Hours. I have a pic for this |

@dsl: Ok, thanks then. But I do know that some private US-team raced one of these in Mexico in the early 50s. |

It is a coupe. @cl82 - I only looked at this thanks to your comment - my interest in Cadillacs is usually about as enthusiastic as yours for the Rover Streetwise. -- Last edit: 2011-03-13 19:02:56 |

Really? I actually like both companies; sadly, they both somehow lost track in the late 1970s. |

Rover were doomed when Thatcher sold them off to British Aerospace and killed the Honda collaboration without giving Honda a chance to bid for a share. BAe and then BMW ownerships never managed to achieve any comparable degree of stability. But Rover and MG cars in the 90s and early 00s were still decent products. |

And now they are back: Link to "www.whatcar.com" Towards the end Rovers were actually pretty undeserving of their reputation. The 75/ZT was a brilliant car and the Honda based cars were always reliable and solid and surprisingly good drives despite being old designs. |
