Italian engineering also produces Ferrari (who also makes Masarati) and

I looked at a well-used California in the early '70s. I was young and
foolish but not that foolish. A rich kid at RPI had a Ferrari. It doesn't
get too cold in Italy so the 3 Webers were free of any encumbrances like
chokes. Not a car for upstate NY winters.

They do make pretty stuff.

A neighbor had one in his driveway and when I went by and saw the Cadillac
emblem I did a double take. The design is a little dated but it was the
best looking Caddy I'd ever seen so I had to go over and find out what it
was.

Always able to screw up a free lunch Cadillac had shoved the ill-fated
Northstar engine into it.
