Won in court: Patrick Cudahy sits in his 1980 Cadillac Elorado, looking spiffy now after three years of fighting to get his car in reasonable working order. His battle culminated in a District Court ruling last month that his new car was actually a used one. The court ordered the dealer pay various damages and Cudahy's legal expenses.
