Reply to comment by StoneTemplePilates in TIL that in 1947, U.S. House Minority Leader Sam Rayburn was gifted a 1947 Cadillac Fleetwood Series 62 from 142 Democratic congressmembers and 50 Republican congressmembers. Each congressmen donated $25 to circumvent Rayburns personal rule of not accepting gifts more than $25. by FranklinDRoosevelt32

That, and the caddy may not have been a good deal back then. Getting the same basic deal now doesn’t mean it’s necessarily a good deal, it could just be the same crappy deal.
