Now, pondered for a while, this Caribbean four door hardtop would definitely have upped their competitive position against Cadillac. For it to succeed, it would have had to come to market without all the baggage of quality problems, poor dealer coverage and shaky corporate financial news making all but the hardcore loyalist wary of buying again.
in the context of the times, it would easily be worthy of the traditional Senior status. Probably more so than some of the prior efforts which lack the verve of the pre-war Seniors.
