Clancy inspired me to find out more about this word ‘”Eleganza.” It had a uniquely ’70s sheen, evocative of Roxie Music’s shellac-covered debut LP, a spritz of “Charlie,” or a pair of patent pleather platform boots (I was the proud owner of all three). 

I found yarns, tiles, wedding specialists, a DJ collective from Slovenija, and even a Miss Eleganza. But none seemed to capture that lost word like the GMC Motorhome, the Eleganza II.
