The car that Boss Hogg drove, the juggernaut and the last of the classic Cadillacs. What I really love about this car is the sheer size of it and the fact that even though it is nearly 20 feet long it’s only a two door. Lets compare some of the specs of this car with my admittedly small car, a Mazda Miata. The turning circle on this beast is a whopping 43 feet, that is a full 13 feet greater than my car. My car is 155.3 inches long, this behemoth is 225.6 inches long. I really wish I could find a measurement of the hood, doors and trunk but I didn’t have any luck doing so. This car is so big that you could live in it, it would be like driving around in your living room.
I would totally pimp one of these. I can just imagine driving around on a nice summer day with the top down with about 9 of my closest friends in the car with me, all of us comfortable
I can’t decide what color scheme I would want. I have three choices: Triple white (white interior, top and exterior) like Boss Hogg’s, white exterior with a red top and red interior or black exterior with a black top and red interior.
