Is it me, or is there some wacky tire deflection going on with my driver's rear tire in this photo?

Fairly natural deflection for 20 some odd Psi, says I.

Cadillac really should have done the Sixteen.

I'm not by any means a big Caddie fan. But I am a big fan of automobile design. These are the vintage Caddies I like:

'49 Series 61 with P-38 tail fins. Cadillac was the first GM brand to get tail fins under the direction of Harley Earl. I still think this is a beautiful car design.

'57 Eldorado. Tail fins growing to excess, still under the direction of Harley Earl. I still think this is a beautiful car design. The brushed stainless steel roof is an unbelievable option, and very rare today.

'62 Coupe de Ville. New age GM styling under Bill Mitchell. New way forward. Tail fins are on the way out. Cadillac is in a transition year. I still think this is a beautiful car design. I love the lower tail fins. And I'd love to own one of these for a summertime cruiser.

I just realized that I like the styling of all these gems best from rear three-quarter view. And they're all 2-door coupes.

An auspicious group of car-folks:

Stewart Reed (ArtCenter), Gary, and a vintage Maserati A6G Zagato after a symposium on car design. Audrain Concours d'Elegance weekend, Newport, RI, Oct. 2019. (And I sat next to Ken Lingenfelter in the front row during the symposium. Great time!)

I actually prefer the series 62 Fleetwood hardtop from 1960. That roofline is fantastic.

I'd rather have gotten the V16 Tahoe development mules that GM had. They built two or three Tahoes with lengthened front ends to cram that engine into and do test work to make sure they ran and drove and worked properly. They were wild. They never would have seen the light of day until Bob Lutz posted a video on the internet of him whipping donuts in one.

Got to drive one of my favorite roads in Ohio on Sunday.  The rain held off for the best part of the road and I even had the top down.  Man I really needed that.

The Mazda Suitcase was designed and built in 1991 as part of a design competition organized by the technical department of Mazda. One of the engineers came up with this idea: ′′ What if you could get off a plane, pick up your luggage and instead of waiting for a taxi or shuttle open the suitcase and leave." The early 90 s was beneficial for Mazda. They had already reinvented the roadster with the MX5 and won the 24 Hours of Le Mans with the 787 B, so why not design a car in a suitcase? A small group of seven engineers from the group formed to create this craft. They bought the largest Samsonite suitcase they could find and a pocket motorcycle for this. The 33,6 cc 1,7 horsepower, handlebar and tires of the Pocket Bike were then installed in the suitcase. The rear wheels installed outside for better road outfit, while the front wheel came out by a removable front hatch. Car / suitcase only took a minute to be assembled and reached a maximum speed of 30 mph.

Fires burning over the hills in NV. Smoke is the local forecast until who knows when. Coughing and migraines in my future, but it made for a great sunset as we came back into town last night. 

sorry for the photos. Too fast on bumpy asphalt through dirty windows.

I think that was/is available as an AirBNB. I distinctly remember seeing it or a very similar Caboose on AirBNB when I was working in Silly Valley. Unfortunately it was a bit over my budget.
