I think if someone were to show up to an Opera in that they would be refused admission.

Cadillac Seville Grandeur Opera Coupe Built by: Grandeur Motor Car Corporation 1405 SW 8th Street Pompano Beach, FL The Opera Coupe featured a stretched hood and a shortened rear body. Dual simulated side-mounted spare tires were mounted forward of the doors, similar to cars of the 1930s. The look was classic, but not everyone fell in love with this one.

They were never common, but I remember seeing a couple of them back in the day. Of course, I didn't grow up in the best neighborhood. They are so awful that I kind of like them.

I recall that Sammy Davis, Jr. had one. Seems I saw it for sale at one time.

I just heard Sammy in my head saying "The wheels are in the fenders man!"

In reply to Woody:

If I remember right they were similar to 2nd gen Camaros or Novas so you may be able to make them turn

I actually bid on a Zimmer at an auction recently....it was a project and the fact that it didn't have a title kept my bid down, so I got outbid. It had some nice recaro seats which surprised me, but apparently that's how they came.

I'd totally rock that Caddy Opera coupe.
