This car is a true relic. This is Cadillac as the old-timers remember a Cadillac--humongous beyond the point of being obscene, with a ride rivaled only by the QE II. I took the family out for a little joy ride in this baby, and by the time we had gone about six blocks they were all looking for the barf bags; man, does it ever pitch and roll!

If you're looking for a living room on wheels (a very tacky living room), this might be the car for you. But if you're planning to make any left or right turns, I'd think twice.

And don't try to park it. It doesn't fit in a standard parking space (at least not in Boston--are the parking spaces in North Miami Beach specially designed for this monster?). I mean, even my buddies Richie and Stevie in the North End--the double-parking capital of the Western world--asked me if it came with an anchor.

But, alas, the sad (?) news is that GM will soon cease manufacture of the Brougham. Seems that all the potential buyers pulled a dirty trick on GM. They died.
