Shark fins spotted in Old St, a 1960 series 62, Cadillac

I thought this had to be the longest production car ever made, just checked and no. Excluding limos and pick-ups, the Cadillac is 225 inches long, but the longest of the land yachts was apparently the 1973 Imperial LeBaron at 235.3 inches. But even that is eclipsed by a modern Rolls Royce Phantom at 235.5 inches. CSB.

Both shorter than a Bugatti Royale (FCVO 'production car'); the Royale was 6.4m long (21 ft/252").

Cool info, though only 7 made. Blimey that had 12.7 litre straight 8, nearly double that Cadillac, fuel economy measured in gallons to the mile rather than miles to the gallon.
