Body beautiful Dubois, I bet he received many offers to be a cabin boy on a yacht. :) Guns drawn at the Cadillac ! Years ago an elderly man use to drive a blood red 1938 Cadillac coupe 6 seater that had been custom built from a full size sedan through the streets of Hollywood. He was its original owner, that car was a behemoth. He showed me his Caddy that had a grey wool and leather interior, the scent of that leather I remember like yesterday. Today’s cars with leather do not have that distinctive leather smell of classic car interiors. The leathers they use today are treated with synthetic chemicals, leathers back then were treated with natural tannins and animal fats. -Rj
Years ago I was in a Mercedes 600 limousine (vast, vaster even than the already enormous 600 model), and I can still remember the smell and the feel of the leather seats.
