My father bought my mother a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado for Christmas. Complete with red bow. Christmas morning she opened a box with keys, then was told to look in the driveway. It was a hit. I think it replaced a Ford Cortina (which was a brown station wagon now that I think of it).

Perfect QOTD. What 84 super cars, three jets, and one custom yacht would you buy?
