Just keep staring - at least until your better half gives you a "Regal" smack, and I still think there is a CAMBER misalignment, and the car's wheels look crooked also Edited May 10, 2020 by Marty Roth (see edit history) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marty Roth Posted May 12, 2020 Share Posted May 12, 2020 2 hours ago, RivNut said: "Sombreros" Sorry to be picky, and with all due respect to RivNut, but the actual Cadillac Sombrero cap looks like this: I once cleaned out a garage and scored a large quantity of wheelcovers, more than a hundred in all, and including twenty (20) New Old Stock 1957 Cadillac caps. While I only paid $100 for the entire garage stuff, the Caddy caps would have been worth $100 each. I took all hundred-plus caps to the flea market/swap meet at Petit Jean Mountain that June, and was selling the more mundane of them for $5/each - others for $15 - $25, and the 4 NOS Oldsmobile 3-bar spinner caps at $50/each. While away from our space to do some shopping (picking?), on my return with a Tandem 1941 Schwinn and a Klaxon horn, my wife was delighted to tell me that she had sold all of those "ones with the ribs out from the center", the 1957 Caddy caps - all twenty for $100, or $5/each (instead of $100/each). My fault - just ask her! Oh well - win some, lose some ... 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RivNut Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 I imagine that if you can dance the Jarabe Tapatio wearing one of these on your head, it should be considered a Sombrero. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr. Buick Posted May 13, 2020 Share Posted May 13, 2020 Speaking of sombreros... I once heard a guy interviewed on the local radio who was height-challenged, and got hired to help at a bar for Cinco de Mayo, which is a big deal out here... What he had to do was walk around the bar with a sombrero on his head, and it was filled with guacamole in the center, and tortilla chips around the outer end. He had to work the room, and giving special attention to the ladies, he had a darn good time all evening! So that spare Cadillac wheel cover might be useful after all, come Cinco de Mayo. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
