Model: Cadillac Coupe de Ville

Content: Distinctive customer appeal is easily recognizable on the 1976 edition of Cadillac's most popular model, the Coupe de Ville. As with all 1976 Cadillacs, the Coupe de Ville features a new grille design. Vinyl roofs are elegant elk grain material, with the optional cabriolet vinyl roof even more appealing with the addition of an optional opera lamp, similar to that used on Fleetwood Brougham and Seventy-Five series sedan and limousine models. This opera lamps is standard equipment on "special edition" Coupe de Ville d'Elegance models. The selection of optional wire wheel discs and a power operated "Sunroof" emphasizes the contemporary approach to this popular Cadillac Coupe de Ville.

Content: Actress Irene Kreger demonstrates the convenience of the new auto trailer

Additional Info: Irene Kreger has no trouble carrying the parts of a new auto trailer for the complete assembly weighs only 50 pounds. It takes only five minutes to take the trailer apart for storage in a closet at home or in the luggage compartment of your car, and about the same time to re-assemble it for attaching it to the rear bumper of your car. Two small knobs secure the trailer hitch to the bumper, and an automatic lock prevents accidental detachment.

The trailer is made of tubular aluminum frame, covered with waterboard canvas. It can carry loads up to 400 pounds. Assembled, the trailer is 33 inches tall. The body measures 42 inches wide, 54 inches long and 10 inches deep. The single pneumatic tire permits smooth and straight riding. Introduced here by the McCullogh Motors Corp., the trailer is expected to retail at $87.
