I found this photo you might enjoy. It was taken in 2013. The subject is a 1977 vehicle, hence it was 36 years old at that time. Confidently holding its own on a rural stretch of interstate, this Cutlass Supreme (Brougham) sedan was in damn fine shape, with whitewalls, base wheel covers, and most likely an Olds 350 V8 engine under the hood. If it was pampered like that, it has seen at least 40 years of motoring by now.

There is a BIG difference between Cadillac hearses and ambulances and Mercedes E Class taxis... Why E Class sedans are NOT luxury is BECAUSE the E Class car is made into a taxi FROM the factory... In Cadillac's case, Cadillac just supplied the rolling chassis to independant coachbuilders and they completed the fitment of their bodywork and interiors and the final assembly. What all this means is that the E Class, FROM THE FACTORY is built, produced with SPARTAN, UTILITARIAN interiors...and sold to liveries. The Cadillac hearses and ambulances were created by outside independent companies. Interiors and bodywork and assembly... Cadillac just supplied the rolling chassis and the dashboard. Now... Im giving a tongue and cheek response and opinion to all this E Class talk of it not being a luxury car. JUST to prove a point with another point of view that was given a month or two ago. Plus to troll a certain resident poster that has blinders on. This post here is just to set the facts. Cadillac did not build ambulances and hearses. They just supplied the chassis. And why Lincolns and Cadillacs were and are still hearses along with Mercedes Benzes? Because your final ride should be made with class. And what better final ride of your time on earth to be made than with a finest of all automobiles? A Lincoln or Cadillac in North America and in Europe, I would imagine that to be a Mercedes.

Twilight Zone (and there is a double meaning with it)

Are you considering the interiors at ALL in that statement? Mercedes had terrible interiors thru the '80s, awful, terrible interiors. S-class, SL, you name it. Been in them, looked them over- they're a joke.
