'64 Was the first year for the Caddy 429 V8. I think it's hilarious when Chris Walken & Leo DiCaprio are driving up to the front entrance of Chase Manhattan Bank & Chris tells Leo,"Don't hit the curb!!" & Leo drives the right front wheel onto the curb anyway, I wonder if that's because the power steering on the Caddy was a bit slow or if that's an inside joke between Chris & Leo, Probably the latter maybe. |

After driving a 1964 Cadillac for over 20 years I can say the power steering was not "slow" (by 1964 standards). It had "full time" power steering however and transmitted no "road feel" like modern units do. |

Modern power steering is WAY better than in '64 I think!! |

If you like "road feel", yes. If you prefer a fingertip luxury feel, no. I could literally steer our '64 Coupe de Ville with my little finger if I had wanted to. And the motion was smooth as silk. |

I'd say it's because Frank Abagnale Jr. (DiCaprio's character) was 16 at that point, was only just learning to drive and his father was coaching him on how to act as a chauffeur. |
