I love the quirkiness, Judy! That extra bumper thingy makes me stop to wonder what the heck I'm viewing 
I also like the straight-on view, great colors, and natural framing for emphasizing your subject.

Nice Image. That extra bumper belongs on the front of the car. The large conical projections were known as "Dagmars" (historical refrence)

I was thinking '52, But '53 seems right.

Close, but no cigar! It's a 1951! They looked very much alike.

Very good guess, James. Actually 1951.

I bought a '54 Fleetwood when I was 19. It looked pretty close to that also. :)

Thanks! Since Cadillac didn't change the body that much from '50 thru '53, It's tough to tell from the back. Cool shot, Old cars and Old Buildings are my favorite subjects!

Yeah, The '54 was a bit more "squared up" but still had the smaller fin style, By '56 (55 on the Eldorado) the "shark fins" arrived.
