Here are some more information for Chevy Cadillac:
A 1957 Chevrolet ad tagged it "Sweet, Smooth and Sassy". It was even considered a Baby Cadillac due to its 57 Caddy like front end and tailfins. Introduced September, 1956 as part of their special Labor Day sneak preview of new cars, it became an overnight breathtaking auto icon, one of those one year wonders!
You could even consider it one of America's first muscle cars, one fire breathing option was a fuel injected 283 cid delivering 283 HP @ 6200 RPM. That led to this legend winning 49 Grand National "cup" NASCAR races, more than any other car, being nicknamed "King of the short tracks", and winning a disproportionate amount of demolition derbies during the late 60's and early 70's (the radiator was, by design, placed well back from the grille which made it difficult to knock out).
By the 1970s, the '57 Chevy became a collector car however, from a numbers standpoint, believe it or not, it wasn't as popular as General Motors had hoped. Rival Ford outsold Chevrolet for the 1957 model year for the first time since 1935. The main cause of the sales shift to Ford was the introduction of the first tubeless tires on the 57 Chevy. The general public wasn't sold on tires without tubes and many opted to buy Ford who stuck with tubes, instead.
The old 57 was my first car back in the Spring of 70... Dad paid $325 for it, a 4 door Bel Air, 283 2 BBL, 3 on the tree, which I promptly shackled the rear, removed the front bumper, installed an Indy floor shifter, stripped the chrome and painted it Emerald Green. Man, was I hot, right?
Many say to me "don't you wish you still had that car?" Well, no, not really. The memories are what count the most!

Is The Chevy Volt Our Generation's Edsel?
When Wall Street Journal reporter Stephen Moore shared his thoughts about the all-new Chevy Camaro, a car that he loves, he took a swipe at another Chevy product, the not yet built Volt. That latter product is GM's first major stab at vehicle electrification beyond EV-1, the electric car that GM failed to build the first time around. Moore's swipe isn't so much against the technology as it is against the Volt program's cost, something he has compared to the failed Edsel program from the Ford Motor Company.
Moore's comments has some people upset including fans at the GM-Volt site which has supported the model since it was first announced two years ago. Moore later followed up his initial comments with Lyle Dennis, the site's owner, by saying that his comparison with the Edsel had more to do with costs than with design or engineering.
Inasmuch as Moore clarified his comments, there are some important things to take into consideration when examining the Chevrolet Volt project. Among these concerns are:
GM is bankrupt – Let's face it: the only way that the Volt project launches is with massive government support. GM is out of money and is on the federal government dole. Bankruptcy is imminent meaning that the automaker will be facing severe restructuring including the retirement of costly and under performing brands and product lines.
The Volt is too expensive – With a sticker price in the neighborhood of $40,000, the Volt is too expensive and not a right fit for Chevrolet. Priced even higher than a Cadillac CTS, GM is hoping that buyers will be attracted to the car's $7500 tax credit which means that you're still getting a compact sedan that will cost you $32,500.
All electric with extended range – Though technically not a hybrid, the Volt will run purely on electric power for about 40 miles before a small, gas engine will kick in. GM has designed the Volt to appeal to people who make short commutes to back and forth to work, who would only need the extended range as a supplemental back up.
Too much, too little, too late – What was once a good idea may be eclipsed before the Volt hits the marketplace. Development time has taken too long, there has been too little urgency on GM's part to win over customers in advance of the car's release and by the time the Volt hits the market in November 2010, it could be too late for GM.
One thing that the Volt has over the Edsel is its good looks. Unfortunately, good looks only wins beauty contests and does little to convince customers that they are getting behind a real winner.
