Themis Z. Glatman, 66, a construction contractor who lives in Woodland Hills, Calif., on her 1958 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible, as told to A.J. Baime.
When I was growing up in Brazil, both of my parents loved American cars. My father did all the work on his cars himself, and he drove me to school in a Dodge Charger R/T muscle car he called tufão, which means hurricane or typhoon. My mother loved classic Cadillacs. She called them rabo de peixe, which is “fish tail” in Portuguese, because of the tail fins.
