Now that I’ve gotten your attention, click through for a better picture…

We hoons know—nay, have been held to a higher standard of knowledge—that the car in the back is a 1985 Nissan Pulsar, duh. But model and actress Kelly Hu (Sunset Beach, The Scorpion King, X2) is standing in front of a mystery limo on the way to her next glitzy 1985 radio promotion or monster truck event. Chrysler Imperial? Town Car? Hell, a Chaika? Use your superior level of knowledge and educate us.

    A 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood 75 limousine?

      I don't think it's a '70 but you're right that it's a Series 75.

      Yes. I used to have a '71, and that's a Fleetwood 75 door. Might even be a '71.

    I'd say a Cadillac. A big one too. Too bad she isn't wearing a grass skirt and coconuts….. not that I am sterotyping or anything, just sayin'

    I'm going to say it's a later car, based on the apparent lack of the very distinctive side marker lights that flank the rub strip on the '71-4 cars. I'll guess '76.

    This is why I love you guys. Any other site would just have been, "O MAN SHE'S SO HOT! ME LOVE YOU LONG TIME," etc.
    Also, evidently KWAI 1080 AM must have had a lot of change to throw around for a Fleetwood.

        Fun fact: I meant to vote your comment up, but my fat, KFC-Double-Down-stuffed fingers slipped on my Intellimouse and clicked the wrong button. So yeah, I don't hate you!

      Only if they bought it new, and that Cadillac is clearly as old as Hit Radio on the AM band.

        It was at least 9 years old at the time of the photo.

    I'm pretty sure it is a 71-76 given the curve of the bodywork above the door handle.

      Ooh, you might be right. Lots of tuck-under in the body (that crazy B- and C-Body fuselage styling). As for Miss Hu? HOT.

    Definitely a 1974-76 Fleetwood 75. Almost impossible to tell which year from that photo, as the rear doors and rear fenders are identical for those 3 years.
