PINK CADILLAC!


You may think I'm foolish
For the foolish things I do
You may wonder how come I love you
When you get on my nerves like you do
Well baby you know you bug me
There ain't no secret 'bout that
Well come on over here and hug me
Baby I'll spill the facts
Well honey it ain't your money
'Cause baby I got plenty of that
I love you for your pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what you do there in back
Of your pink Cadillac
Pink Cadillac

Well now way back in the Bible
Temptations always come along
There's always somebody tempting
Somebody into doing something they know is wrong
Well they tempt you, man, with silver
And they tempt you, sir, with gold
And they tempt you with the pleasures
That the flesh does surely hold
They say Eve tempted Adam with an apple
But man I ain't going for that
I know it was her pink Cadillac
Crushed velvet seats
Riding in the back
Oozing down the street
Waving to the girls
Feeling out of sight
Spending all my money
On a Saturday night
Honey I just wonder what it feels like in the back
Of your pink Cadillac
Now some folks say it's too big
And uses too much gas
Some folks say it's too old
And that it goes too fast
But my love is bigger than a Honda
It's bigger than a Subaru
Hey man there's only one thing
And one car that will do
Anyway we don't have to drive it
Honey we can park it out in back
And have a party in your pink Cadillac

1. BMW 507

[Westegg]

6. Stunning. The ultimate BMW.

[flvegan]

2. 1969 Chevy Corvette ZL1

One of two, this is the white one (the other was red, I believe). I almost went with the '67 Vette 427/435, but I like this bodystyle better, tbh. Plus, with a high 11 second 1/4 mile, this bad boy would take a Cobra's lunch money.

[Tikki]

23. My absolute favorite Vette body style....

...my favorite was pumpkin color with a tan interior and it had a four speed, I believe,



Tikki

[Pierre.Suave]

3. This one

1959 Ferrari 250GT California

[Shakespeare]

4. 64 1/2 Mustang.

The. Original.

My dad fully restored one just like this (same paint color) from rust bucket to mint condition when I was little:

[sinkingfeeling]

5. 1963 Corvette, split-window coupe.

[Enrique]

7. mine has a song too

So this ain't the end -
I saw you again today
Had to turn my heart away
You smiled like the Sun -
Kisses for everyone
And tales - it never fails!

You lying so low in the weeds
Bet you gonna ambush me
You'd have me down on my knees
Wouldn't you, Barracuda?

Back over Time when we were all
Trying for free
Met up with porpoise and me
No right no wrong your selling a Song-
A name whisper game.

If the real thing don't do the trick
You better make up something quick
You gonna burn it out to the wick
Aren't you, Barracuda?

"Sell me sell you" the porpoise said
Dive down deep to save my head
You...I think you got the blues too.

All that night and all the next
Swam without looking back
Made for the western pools - silly fools!

[KatyMan]

62. ...

BA-BA-RA-RA-CU-CU-DA-DA!

[Rambis]

8. Citroen

[cyberswede]

9. hey...you stole mine!

I saw the subject before I saw that it was you who posted it. :hug:

[Rambis]

14. just me-

great pic yeah?

[Oeditpus Rex]

10. Impossible to narrow it down to one

But the one I'd most like to own is the 1960 Corvette roadster.

[lizziegrace]

11. My father's '67 Corvette

[flvegan]

19. Stinger hood means that there's a big block under there.

:thumbsup:

[lizziegrace]

21. Yep

it's a good thing he's 2500 miles away. I could get into some serious trouble in that car... :)

[DaDooRonRon]

26. Yep, in '67 you got your choice of three

427/400

427/425

427/435 w/trips

Three cheers for the rat motor!!!

[JCMach1]

12. Cord- my dad did museum piece restoration of autos in the 70s and 80s

The cord is the most beautiful auto ever made. I got drive one of these when I was 10 into the garage...

[cyberswede]

13. Jaguar XKE

*sigh*

[Jamastiene]

18. That's one sexy car.

;)

[DaDooRonRon]

32. Have you ever been in one?

In the '63-67 E-type the passenger seat floorboards got so hot you couldn't (in summer) rest your feet on them!

Just another quirk..

[Crabby Appleton]

38. I had a '66 E-Type,

a beautiful car, 4.2 liter inline 6. Very fun car to drive, but broke down a lot - mostly electrical problems.

[DaDooRonRon]

40. Well, you know the joke

Why do the British like warm beer?

Because they all have Lucas refrigerators.

Lucas - "the king of darkness" :)

[Crabby Appleton]

42. I thought of putting that in my post ^

[Miss Carly]

15. here's mine....

JUST KIDDING.....MY FAVORITE CLASSIC CAR IS THE GTO JUDGE

[jmowreader]

35. Oh, if you only knew how important that rotten little LeCar was...

and not because of how good of a car it was. Frankly, it wasn't any better or worse of a car than any other 1970s-era econobox.

The importance was because of the designer--Pierre Bezier. (Pronounce it "bee-zee-ay." He's French.) Monsieur Bezier got pissed off at the spline function in his CAD program and wrote a better one. The Bezier Curve was later incorporated into all the good computer graphics languages like PostScript and...well, PostScript. PostScript uses Bezier curves to define letterforms, among other things, and all high-end printing is done in PostScript. So...if you're reading words that were printed on a press, they were done with Monsieur Bezier's curves.

[Jamastiene]

16. 1978 Pontiac Trans-Am

Best looking car ever made, if you ask me. I don't know about power or anything. I just like the way this beauty looks*. That's one sexy looking car.



*I like the looks of the ones with this



painted on the hood.

[flvegan]

20. In 1978, nobody knew about power.

That T/A has the 6.6 liter Oldsmobile 403 in it. Yes, it's a big block. It's also a boat anchor. Strangled by emissions, it put out 180-190 hp, IIRC.

I admit, though, it is a good looking car, and the last generation of the computer free Pontiac performance cars.

[cloudbase]

17. Pure joy.

Alfa Romeo Giulietta

[Auggie]

60. I love the look of these A.R.s

[Tikki]

22. 1960 Valiant (stood alone)....not yet, designated as a....

Plymouth. The following year Valiants became part of the Plymouth line.



I want the 2 door
with a slant 6
and 3 on tree.....



Tikki

[Throd]

24. I saw one of those last week

A black two door driving north on the 101 in Marin County. It was beautiful!

[DaDooRonRon]

31. But just think

If you hold out for the '62 you get the (drum roll) integrated dashboard push button transmission!

[Rambis]

25. Triple

Classic POS cars

[DaDooRonRon]

27. Hemi-cuda

About 15 years ago I looked at a 90% original 'Cuda that a guy had to sell - baby on the way.

He wanted 50K, and I just couldn't swing it.

That same car is worth about 10 times that now.

I try not to think about it. :)

[Bennyboy]

28. The Magic Bus!

[Tommy_Carcetti]

29. Does a hunter-green 1994 Dodge Shadow count as a classic car?

[Hobarticus]

30. '57 Olds Super 88...

In my Olds 88 and the devil on a leash...

[BlueJazz]

33. One of my Favorites '57 Chrysler 300

Mine was red and without the rack. 6 volt system, blaupunkt am/fm. Ran for 460,000 miles until it rusted out.

[GOPisEvil]

39. 1970 Mustang Boss 302

Meant to road race, not just fast in a straight line. :thumbsup:

[flvegan]

44. That's a proper Mustang.

Brilliant automobile.

[DaDooRonRon]

45. Lest us not forget the same machine with a 351 Cleveland in it

With a little "tweaking" that little scamp could go. :)

[Bennyboy]

41. The Boat Car!

[cloudbase]

47. All right!

Another poster with appreciation of Italian machinery and highly refined tastes.

[Hangingon]

51. Good to hear someone else likes Alfas!

[cloudbase]

54. I'm working up to it.

I've got two Guzzis, one of which is an '84 I recently completed restoring. She isn't fast, but she's a looker.

[Ivan Sputnik]

46. Sorry, Ralph
