When a Cadillac Was Distinctive

When a Cadillac Was Distinctive By Elton Camp I well remember the time way back in the day A Cadillac meant things were going your way Confuse it with lesser cars? Nope, no chance A Caddy was recognizable with just a glance Any who drove one had to be rolling in dough Because they cost eight thousand bucks or so In those luxury cars, nothing manual was done Automatic windows, antenna and trunk were fun Low gas mileage was simply no concern at all At a six-dollar fill-up the wealthy didn’t squall A Cadillac demonstrated one’s status in life That he had risen above all the ordinary strife Of course, Cadillac on the market does remain Now the truly wealthy would laugh with disdain Because what was once the finest car in the city Is now only ordinary—and isn’t that such a pity
