    1976 Cadillac Limousine: Driving On Street At 65 mph

    I had an opportunity to make a video of my '76 Cadillac Fleetwood Seventy-Five Limousine while a car friend was here. Him filming and me driving. On a local street with a curve. Speed limit is 50 mph and 40 mph on the curved portion. I drove through that portion at 65 mph. Mainly to show that a '60s/'70s full-sized car can drive on a street with a curve well above the speed limit.

    Video came out well. You can tell the car is going faster than the average traffic is...

    It is visible starting at 0:07 into the video.

    Well, is there any motorist out there who has never gone above the speed limit? Even a little?

    Anyway, I was asked years ago on this forum to take a photo (or video) of my '76 limousine driving on a road with a curve on it. So I did it for that reason and for "historic" purposes.

    Here is a photo of the street to see what it looks like. From this view, I was driving away from the camera.
