A list of how much it costs

It's worthy of this car!

As a car **, the most disturbing thing about watching hit dramas has always been whether the prop cars in the play are in line with reality, such as Murong Yunhai's sports car, such as the red flag in "Hurricane", but the Cadillac Diwei in "Flowers" really poked Uncle Chinese.

Miss Wang, this beautiful and independent woman, like that Cadillac, has experienced wind and rain but still shines charmingly, tough and charming. In order to save the treasure, she rushed forward.

She drove the Cadillac full of stories and meanings, like a lightning bolt speeding down the road to rescue.

The scene when Miss Wang received a new car worth millions can be called a classic picture of "Flowers".

You have to understand, it was the Cadillac Dewe in 1993.

In the 1990s, tens of millions of Rolls-Royce and Bentley were too far away, and the Japanese luxury cars that were close to the people had just started and could not be on the table; The E32 of that era's 7 series and Tiger Head Ben S-class have not been lengthened and their appearance is too tough; It looks like the Cadillac Dyvi, which has more space and a more luxurious design, is really a better choice.

At that time, Mr. Bao gave Miss Wang the Deville which was the brand glory of Cadillac. The series was first born in 1949 as a two-door mid-to-large hardtop sedan launched by Cadillac called the Coupe Deville, which accounted for 76% of the brand's sales at its peak with its wide body and luxurious design. As a large sedan, it is not an exaggeration to describe Cadillac Diwei as "splendid", which complements the beautiful street scene of the Yellow River Road in "Flowers".

When Mr. Bao asked "Little Ningbo" to drive the car to the gate of Zhizhen Garden, it attracted many onlookers, and Miss Wang's Cadillac became the catalyst for the plot. At that time, cars had not yet entered the family, let alone such a luxury car, which was rare even in Shanghai in the torrent of market economy. Through the director's lens, Miss Wang drove the car to the Shenzhen Industrial Zone, and anyone could understand the attraction of this car to ordinary people with her mouth wide open on the street. The interior of the car is rich in configurations, equipped with anti-brake lock, automatic door lock, twilight sentry headlight control, anti-glare color-changing rearview mirror (with defogging function), rear seat air outlets, ** door lock, sun blind, transmission safety lock, oil change indicator, keyless, etc., which is not outdated today, 30 years later.

This car is equipped with 4The 9-liter V8 engine, although the displacement is amazing, but after all, it is old, with only 200 horsepower, which is somewhat shabby from the perspective of modern people, even if it goes back to the 1990s, it is not abundant compared to the 390 horsepower of the Tiger Head Ben W140 of the same level. Uncle Wen guessed that when Mr. Bao bought a car, he considered Miss Wang's reckless driving style to some extent, so he chose a car with more appropriate power, and even if he ran all the way to Shenzhen, he arrived safely.

The car has a culture and knows that everyone cares**, and Uncle Wen has also verified a lot of information about the price. For reference, according to the statistics of the Shanghai Bureau of Statistics, the average annual income of an ordinary worker in Shanghai was 2,744 yuan in 1990, and by 1999, this figure was 16,641 yuan. Therefore, even for the wealthy class at the time, the Cadillac Diwei was not a car that could be bought casually. The Cadillac Diwei that Mr. Wang gave to Miss Wang was already the last version of the series, with about 5,300 units produced in 1992, and the factory at that time was $32,990. In 1993, 3The tariff rate for cars above 0 liters is 220%, so the import of this car in 1993 may be more than $110,000, and the landing** is already close to the million mark. It is not difficult to see the door handles, gold trim, perforated leather seats and lace aluminum rims in the body color, all of which confirm the extraordinaryness of this car. And through the dialogue between Miss Wang and Mr. Wei, it was also mentioned that a list of at least 20 million yuan was required to be worthy of this car.

There is a text to say

Uncle Wen sent an easter egg to everyone and found a hidden detail: in Mr. Bao's heart, this Cadillac is the "tacit understanding" between him and Miss Wang, after sending the car to Miss Wang on the Yellow River Road in a high-profile manner, this matter will soon spread all over the Yellow River Road. However, the 6th-generation Diwei carefully selected by Mr. Bao was discontinued after 1993. As a dark line, it means that the relationship between the two has not gone further because of this luxury car, because Miss Wang is already Xiao Wang - "Hongkou Xiao Wang", and she wants to make her own dock.
