Currently undergoing road testing to be released sometime next yr, so probably will be titled as 2028’s. It’s a new EV so if I was serious I would lease if the lease offerings are attractive; not buy.

It’s a beautiful looking vehicle. And as an EV I’m sure its performance is tremendous.
It did remind me of something I observed several years back when Cadillac was moving more into the sports car lane with their stylings. I saw this elderly gentleman in the parking lot uncomfortably drag himself out of a really sporty looking caddy with 20 something inch rims and what not. And at first glance it seemed an odd choice for him. But when I thought about it. This guys had probably spent the last 30 plus years walking into a Cadillac dealership every year or so and walking out with the top of the line Caddy. That year was no different… until it was.

I read an article where most 2026 ZR1 Chevrolet Corvettes ($185K) are leased by people who have a way to write off most of the lease payment on their business.
There is an attractive woman around nd here who drives a red ZR1 & the license plates read WAZHIZ.

Almost every one I see around here is a guy in his mid to late 60s.

To be fair, in the part of S. FL you live, isn't that kind of young.

Fair enough. Though whenever I see it.. I think I don’t want to have to get up out of that thing now… let alone in 10 or 15 years.

33 on back, not sure if date
Do you have a higher resolution scan of this or can you quote the text for the Dakota Style? I'm curious if it's got some sort of brim treatment or if it's just a nice pencil curl.

No binding. Most all of these "Dakota's" regardless of company do not seem to have a bound brim. I know my early Stetson does not, nor have I seen any advertised with bound brims.
PS here are better picts of the other westerns from this page....

It all starts with the flange like in this earlier Brigadier, a favorite style of mine.

Always enjoy seeing how many of these old ads show the Campaign bow.... always a favorite option when Im rehabilitating an old hat. ALWAYS looks better than a square bow

long before the settlers came west the natives had other problems.....
I was curious because I've been wondering if there are some western styles that share some DNA with homburgs.... They have a similar vibe to me with the curls. It makes me curious what a homburg with a thin ribbon might look like.
