Since Cadillac Commercial vehicles are based on a special bare chassis, I am wondering something about the "style" used for the 1957-1964 versions. I say this because they are not the same design as the Limousine frames. The rear section that would usually fit under a trunk area is the original non Eldorado Brougham design - triangulated rather than squared off as with the 4 point control suspension. I had always wondered why Cadillac only used these sharply angled rear fork rails which restricted trunk space for only one year - 1957 but now see them under Commercial cars. Was this planned or something as a left-over?
I also see that Pontiac used a similar version between 1958-1960.
Any help with any background history about these frames would be greatly appreciated!
