1980's and EARLIER:

Tastes not withstanding, i doubt that ANY manufacturer in the world ever built a car that comes anywhere near the Cadillac in terms of STRUCTURAL STRENGTH and durabilty to withstand severe driving abuse, conditions and demands.

Most people such as doctors, lawyers, CEOs and the People Magazine crowd tend to buy according to trend or what ever Hollywood is pushing this year.

The true test is to look at car owners who drive out across an oil field, across a backwoods air strip, across the desert at 100-110 mph ALL DAY LONG, pulling and airstream thru the rockies and other such demands that i doubt very seriously any MB, BMW, LIncoln or Imperial could withstand mile after mile after mile......

Possible exception would be the BIG Buicks.
