The Cadillac Model A sure looks a lot like the Ford Model A from about the same period; I wonder if that is because Henry Ford was involved with both companies at one point, or for the same marketing reasons that most cars today look alot alike.
Naw, it resembles a Curved Dash Oldmobile. GM was platform sharing in the other "oughts" too!

Great pictures, but where are the inked-up, 400 pound, open carry patriots with their pants hanging down to their knees? Where are the flip-flop wearing zombettes selfie-ing themselves? How come there isn't a Grease Burger and Barfbucks franchise on every corner? America really looked primitive back then.
