Prized Possessions

From this week's NYT magazine

James Gandolfini



When his family was choosing his favorite possession, they could have picked his father’s Purple Heart or any of Jim’s watches or an Emmy or a picture the kids had drawn. But they all came back with “the Cadillac.” That was the thing — that beat-up, rusted old bucket of bolts.

. . . and Tony loved Caddys too . . . Probably NSFW Audio

If I'm not mistaken, that looks like a 1967 or 68 Caddy, which is similar to the 1965 Coup de Ville I had in high school. It had a monumental trunk. I slept in the trunk when we took my Caddy on camping trips to the beach or mountains. Sweet, sweet car. I can see why it would be his prized possession.

Good eye, it's a 68.
