Looky what I found. Cadillac actually expected people to buy Cateras with commercials like this? It wasn't even the worst one. It's a wonder they sold any. The buyers influenced by it must have been morons.

...and what sort of ducks do you guys have over there anyway? The body is ok, but the feet and beek...? Looks like a parts bin special!
....oh I see. ;D
It looked quite a fast Catera, btw :y

For ducks sake. ;)

Ah, the era of cheesy car adverts - they're way too polished these days.
How about this for the Nissan 300ZX: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VI2L82eUoJU
Although this is fancier: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XLyCDsKhGo

Blame the "Ducks" on the French. Cadillac was named for Antoine Laumet (aka Antoine De Lamothe-Cadillac), the founder of Detroit, Michigan. It seems he created his own family crest, borrowing from a family friend's crest. Whoever drew the original crest didn't seem to know the Merlettes are sparrows and not ducks. I suspect a few bottles of wine might have played a part. On the left we have the family friend's crest, in the middle Antoine's, and on the right is the Cadillac Motor company's version. After the Ziggy fiasco Cadillac shot the ducks from their crest.
R.I.P. Ziggy.

I guess, looking at the news, you won't be going far in your catera today, elvin.

No worries here. Buffalo (and its 8 feet of snow) is about 350 miles from me. No snow here thank God.

A bit of cash and a bit of imagination and you can get one sent over ::)
North America is only 3000 miles away on the same planet, not in a galaxy far, far away. Besides where was the Catera built? Oh yes, Germany ::)
Get the part numbers and get your local Vauxhall dealer to order them in... expect to pay for it though.

Those tail lights weren't well received by the Cadillac crowd over here. GM divisions Oldsmobile & Buick, and even Ford's Mercury had already done it and to Caddy fans those cars were below Cadillac's status level. Ever since the '50 Cadillacs were known for their tall, thin, "Tail Fin" tail lights. The body wide tail treatment was anything but. The FL Cateras dumped the wide center strip and while they weren't "Tail Fin" lights I feel they looked better.
