And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
Jeff, that's an air circulation vent. Caddy first introduced A/C in 1953 and the vents were in the package tray behind the rear seat, but I don't see them in this car.
Same for our '56 Chevy BelAir, except it was on the right side.

With a genuine eight body trunk.
ReplyDeleteA buddy in HS had a 54 Sedan DeVille, that car was a monster. Fits 8 easily.
ReplyDeleteMy first car ('66 VW Beetle) had the gas cap inside the trunk near the steering column. Bit of a pain when you were gassing up in an open court.
ReplyDeleteThat is an inventive place to conceal it.
Could be the filler cap for the dual rear-facing flamethrowers underneath.
ReplyDeleteFelix Leiter deserves a cool car too, right?
