1973 Cadillac Eldorado

[RACINE ISHRAQUR RAZA]

My 1973 Cadillac Eldorado dealership promo model in St. Tropez Blue Firemist Poly. The car was dismantled, sprayed with SprayMax 2K clear and detailed with Bare Metal Foil along with lots of other little things. The side mirrors are scratch built and the missing hood ornament was replaced from a spare I had from another Cadillac model.

For the interior tub I did not take anything apart as doing so has risk of part breakage. I masked and painted the dashboard first. Installed carpeting using epoxy, and later tweezers & toothpick used to get them in place. The wood appliques is shelf liner from Dollar store. Added seat belts and both indicator & gear lever. Dash and instrument cluster details painted with toothpick from a diluted can of black and silver paint. I added the straps at the back of the seats and carpeting for the bottom of the door inserts. Ash trays are made of tiny pieces of aluminum from Coke can. Also installed brake and accelerator pedal to make it look more realistic. If you look closely you'll find a 8 track tape on the stereo!

That is really nice; we don't often see a lot of the Malaise Era models. Nicest one yet ?

@Falcon RancheroThank you for the compliment! I build a lot of Malaise Era models and more will be revealed in future weeks.

These were great cars and I had a 76 convertible when I lived in California. Great riding car.

Thank you everyone for the compliment! Much appreciated!

@XYHARRYThanks! There will be many more Cadillacs from me in the near future, including one we rarely ever see on the road these days or even at most car shows.
