Back in the 50’s cars underwent major sheet metal changes every other year. On the off year they just did a little bit of chrome changes. That had to cost a fortune but all of the domestics did it and it got to be expected. Other than the rare BMW’s and Benz there were no foreign cars, at least not in my hood.

He had DeVilles and Town Cars that I remember mostly. Don't remember any of them being as powerful as that New Yorker.
Not his, but it looked identical.....

Almost all late 50s cars have dual round headlights up front, a large chrome strip running up the side to a fin of some sort.
Here is a 58 Caddy. Yes we all know it’s not a 59 New Yorker but all the same styling cues are there.
No doubt in some way they were all emulating each other.

At least some Ford and Chevy fanboys are in my "hate Chrysler" camp.

On second thought, grow up. Here it is. I love it.

Hey, I just noticed this; that sucker rotates too. I hope they farmed out the gearing design to get the rotation feature. Did it come with a 5K/6 month rotation guarantee?

Back around 1997, my dad bought a T&C, it was hard loaded, I think MSRP or OTD price on it was in the upper 30s. Most expensive car he ever bought. IIRC before 6 months was up, the transmission went. What irked him most was the loaner car provided by the small town dealer who didn't have a loaner fleet, so they gave him a Celebrity that was laying around - he hated that thing. To the van's credit, I don't recall it having any big issues from that point, and was going strong at close to 200K miles when the family sold it after he passed.

The first EV of the modern era looks, even by today's standards, surprisingly handsome. Reviewed by Car & Driver in 1960 the Pioneer Electric, came with two electric motors, a top speed of 50 mph, and 150 miles of promised range, and it cost $1,995. Read the reader comments that follow the article.

I’m going to have to ask who we were doing business with.

There were some pretty innovative places until they all started using the flap.

A policeman in New York City stops traffic just for a cat to carry its kittens across the street, 1925.
The one I liked best was on the ‘55 Caddy (I’m pretty sure that was the year) where you pushed a button on the left rear taillight and the light assembly dropped down so you could see the gas cap.
I remember being on a business trip to Oxnard CA. with a young female engineer in the late ‘80s and saw an old Caddy in the parking garage of the Embassy Suites where we were staying. I told her where the gas cap was located and she wanted me to show her. I was reluctant to do that but she insisted so to make her happy I held my breath hoping that no one was looking. She could not get over that and talked about it for years to fellow employees. It got to be a joke and folks who never heard the story were coaxed to ask her. She’d gladly tell them along with never failing to tell them how I was a chicken, fearing I’d be shot for showing her where the gas cap was located. Lots of laughs over the years about that.

6 days, 12 hours a day, 72 hours for $45 (before taxes).
I thought I knew a fair bit about cars, I certainly knew that the Corvair was rear engine. Corvair owners were very prone to ask me to check the oil so that they could laugh at me if I went to the wrong end of the car. But I will admit to having to ask where the fuel filler was a couple of times, some of them were really strange.

Up down what’s the difference? The cap was in there.

Just got back from the Great Smokey Mountains. Have to say I was impressed with the Accords CVT. Handled steep inclines like a boss. Plenty of power with no lagging.
Gatlinburg is starting to become an alcoholics paradise. Every time I go back there's more winerys, more moonshine stores...hard cider. Sample 3 for free, or sample all for $5! No beer sampling though. Guess they have their standards.

point of the story, the weird way Uhaul works with regions, if I pick up the truck local to me it costs about 50% more than if I go 1/2 hour or so to Delaware to pick it up. Same truck, and they actually give me about 40 extra miles. I think the price differential was about $220? Maybe $320 vs. $540. probably not worth the hassle but seemed like a good idea at the time!
out of curiosity, after reading some Youtube comments (yes I was watching videos about how to load a truck) I checked out Penske. Without a discount code (I think wife's work gets like 20% off) they were even more, with a 16' straight truck maybe $850 (picked up local to me). But I saw that they had a 26' for cheaper, only $499, and thought I should grab that deal. Then I looked closer and realized I missed a digit.
they wanted $4,990 to rent a 26' van for 2 days and 300 miles (though I think they might have listed it as unlimited miles). Blew my mind. My entire move including all the loading and unloading, and having them come and pack the kitchen, is less than that! I can't imagine any paying that price.

One thing that was very clear was that many of the Uhaul trucks were beaten to death and had multiple mechanical or safety issues. One had the rear running lights dangling by wires. Had I not been so desperate I never would have rented them. Certainly not for a long trip. The Penske truck was twice as expensive but pristine.

I’d say the 5 grand number is the number with an extra digit. If not, that truck is going to die with the mileage it has now.

Farmer, it is actually cheaper for mine to go one way. basically they are charging me about $1.00/mile (maybe $1.05) based on the included miles, but giving me the truck for 2 days for "free" (truck is normally either $29.99 or $39.99 per day, plus $.99-$1.49 per mile depending on day of the week).
I assume it is solely because they need the trucks up north so I am doing them a favor!

I think that’s exactly it. More are moving out of NY than into it. Same with California where it’s 10X more costly to leave the state than to enter.

When I moved back to the Burgh from SC in August of ‘97 I rented two 26 foot U-Haul trucks with grandma’s attic. Before I signed for them I told the guy I wanted to drive them for a few miles to make sure everything was working. The guy assured me the trucks were in good shape but I had to prove it to myself. Fortunately everything worked and the AC would give you the chills on both trucks. When I got back the guy said, “I told you they were in good shape. When I rent trucks for an out of state move like you’re doing, the last thing I want is for you to have a breakdown and come in here waving a gun”.
Fast forward to when I moved out of my Mom’s house when we finally found a house in October of ‘98, I got a U-Haul truck the was in almost OK condition. I say almost because when I went to back it into the driveway the clutch slipped so badly that the truck wouldn’t back up. I had to drive it around the block and stop it on the street to unload it. When I turned the truck in I told the guy about it and he was very apologetic. I told him his apology didn’t help the extra work I went through. Only then did he take 30 bucks off the rental price.
I’ve noticed since then that U-Hauls rented for local moves seem to be pretty worn out and probably wouldn’t be used for long distance moves.

I must have timed it just right $380 for unlimited mile 7 day Kia Sorrento rental. I used some points so only paid $330. I think I put 1350 miles on it.
Yes, I took a picture of the two returned keys (since it’s a Kia) and the full fuel gauge….
