Mom and Dad built a house in 1959, making the garage big enough for the cars of the day. In the 70s, the cars got too long for the garage, but the cars eventually shrunk back down in the 80s and they could close the garage door again. I remember we had a 1964 Olds, and in 1970, dad traded it for a 1963 Cadillac Fleetwood.
I was going "what the heck?", but it turned out to be an old couple's car, and only had 12,000 miles on it. It was an awful color they called "Desert Rose", and which is why I called it "The Pink Hearse".

It had power windows on every window, which included vent windows front and rear, so there were 8 window switches on the drivers door. Also had power seats, and vacuum operated power door locks. Push the button and you heard a sucking sound as the doors locked. Add the power mirror control, and the driver's door looked like an aircraft panel. According to Google, it had a 325hp 429ci motor.
Dad liked it, because at 6 foot tall, he could lay down in the back seat to sleep, with room to spare, while mom was driving her shift on the 8 hour drive to College Station, where my brother was a fish. There was enough room between the end of the front seat and the doors that I could go from front to rear by going around the seat while we were driving. (Seat belts? What seat belts?)
One of the not-so-great options was the automatic headlight dimmer. It was mounted top center on the dash, and looked a little like a pistol, with an "electric eye" photocell aimed at oncoming traffic. This is a Ford dimmer, but it looked a lot like this.
It had a dial to adjust the sensitivity. When a car came toward you with their lights on bright, it would dim your lights. Usually, the oncoming car would then dim their lights. At which point, the electric eye, no longer seeing the other headlights, would turn your lights back on bright. Which would piss off the other driver, who would put his lights back on bright. Which would cause the electric eye to dim your lights. Which would cause the other driver to dim his. Which would cause the electric eye to brighten yours.....
Thank God for that car, since mom and dad survived a near head-on collision with a grain truck. Lady driving the truck turned left in front of them, and they scraped the whole left side of that car on the left end of her bumper, and even dented the right side as the car rocked up on two wheels and hit the concrete culvert on the right.
They got it fixed and drove it a few more years, though it never drove as straight and smoothly after. I think their next Caddy was a brown 1974 with the 500ci engine....
