For decades, the formula was simply a sedan-based light pickup, pioneered in the United States by the Ford Ranchero in 1957.Cadillac sedans celebrate the driving experience with sporty, precision-crafted engines and head-turning design.

Traditional also built a de VilleвЂ“based wagon called the Mirage Sports Wagon and a Fleetwood longroof called the Castillian Fleetwood Estate Wagon, the latter combining the then hot trend of Iberian-themed American luxury (see: Cordoba, Chrysler) with the preferred British nomenclature for the five-door, sedan-based family hauler. Its Mirage, a Coupe de VilleвЂ“based pickup, wasnвЂ™t the only customized Caddy to emerge from the shop.

Nobody seems to be quite sure how many were constructed, although numbers quoted on the internet range as high as 240. Although Traditional Coach Works wasnвЂ™t endorsed by General Motors, the vehicles were sold via regular Cadillac dealerships. In retrospect, we figure the name is no worse than gibberish like Buick TourX, and itвЂ™s certainly less of a mouthful than BMW Individual M760Li xDrive Model V12 Excellence THE NEXT 100 YEARS.Between 19, Traditional turned out a couple hundred Mirages.

Only a curmudgeonly coal roller could argue with that torque figure. Heck, throw in that fancy 627-lb-ft twin-turbo V-8 you just announced. Tradition, we say, wins out.
