67 Eldorado is my favourite, I had a die cast of it when I was a kid.

Many years later I was visiting my friend in San Francisco, there was one parked in the avenues, dull black paint, but still nice.

the 1966 Miller-Meteor "station wagon version".......... :D

X2. My buddy had one we drove from Michigan to Daytona beach twice in the mid eighties. White with a black top. Road great at 75 to 80 . Slept in the back when you were not driving. Plenty of room for us to sleep and luggage.

I guess the 56 Eldorado. I used to maintain one for a friend . he got tired of the 2 X 4 set up , said it used too much gasoline . I switched it over to a Cadillac with a standard Rochester 4-CG on it .

Those front wheel drive Eldorados were very popular in the demolition derbys, because no matter how bad you crunched up the rear, you didn't have to worry about breaking a drive shaft or the rear wheels hanging up. :o

Used to drive a 1998 Deville Concours. Garnet red with a tan leather interior and Bose sound. It was awesome until the Northstar pooped out. I wish I could've gotten my uncle's 1974 Fleetwood hearse.

I'm partial to the styling of the '57 and '58 potato tail Eldorado Sevilles and the '71 and '72 Eldorado coupes.The last CTS-V wagons were interesting cars,too.

I'd never consider a Caddy as a daily driver,it's not my type of car.My late aunt had Caddys for the last 30 or so years of her life.For her it was a status symbol.

I had an opportunity to drive one of her Cadiilacs once.It was an early 80s vintage rear drive Fleetwood,just a couple years old at the time.The suspension set up was so mushy that the thing would get out of phase with the bumps and rolls of the pavement as it drove straight down the freeway.It was so loose it scared me to drive it.I mentioned my experience to my boss at the time(who had a similar vintage DeVille) and he could scarcely believe me until he had a chance to drive a Fleetwood.Then he told me he had the same experience and that his DeVille didn't drive like that.
