Guess the year (within two years), make (DUH), and MODEL of the vehicle shown. You’ll then get a cookie and I won’t invite you over to listen to Huey Lewis and The News.

After the answer, I’ll post the other pics. Giddy up!

ETA: WE HAVE A WINNER! Congrats, G Body Man, for correctly getting the answer! It is a 1976 Cadillac MIRAGE! Review below:

This example was sold for $41.8K at Barrett-Jackson this past week. Jalopnik covered it here last year as well.

1976 Cadillac Calais?

Looks like a Calais with the wrap around reflectors. That or I’m remembering something else.

Looks like a mid 70's fleetwood, I’d guess ‘75. That said, from directly in front, it’s hard to be certain.

In any case, I like it!

I forgot you were at Barrett until just now. For some reason, it didn’t click.

Well thank you for getting, I didn’t know the Mirage was a thing! Now I’m upset that the Elmiraj didn’t have an Elmirage spinoff concept.

Admit it: you looked it up on the auction site.

Because so few were made. Glorious ride, ain't it?

No, I saw the hint, saw what looked like a truck bed, pulled out my old Collectible Automobiles magazine, and found a black one in the classifieds.

Nice. I was afraid someone was going to see the lot number and cross reference it.

With a 500cid V8 (and I'm almost certain a very swappable 2 barrel carb), this would be a very fun car to own.

This is a chariot, a sweet sweet gift to the world that was meant for the angels. I’m crying right now! It’s like a piece of me has been found. Such a revelation!

It is the Pegasus of the Malaise Times separating the golden periods, a demigod rolling amongst metal paupers. It’s divine powerplant would not be any sweeter if it ran on the finest nectars the heavens had ever produced. This immortal piece of ambrosial engineering will forever inspire mankind to reach for greatness, but the apex of our predigousness has already been achieved.

And it is pronounced “Mirage”.

ETA: Damn, I need to write like that more often!
