1973 Cadillac Eldorado Pilot
A few days ago, I've written about the 1972 Lincoln Continental Mark IV before, and highlighted how it was the only car of this generation that showed the designers' pure vision, as its appearance was hampered by the federally mandated 5 mph bumpers in 1973. This time, our Pick of the Day looks at how a direct competitor to the Mark IV handled the regulation... but slightly differently. This 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Indy Roadster is listed for sale on ClassicCars.com by a dealer in DeWitt, Iowa. (Click on the link to view the listing.) 1973 Cadillac participates in the Indianapolis 500 Throughout much of the 1950s and 1960s, the Cadillac Eldorado evolved from a special edition convertible to the brand's sportiest model until company bosses decided to upgrade it to a personal luxury coupe in 1967. It shared the same platform as the Oldsmobile Toronado, meaning it was the second front-wheel drive car on GM's roster until 1979. The official…
Daily Picks: 2007 Cadillac XLR-V
this Daily Selection It's a 2007 Cadillac XLR-V listed on ClassicCars.com by a New York dealer. In a 1976 brochure, Cadillac called its Eldorado convertible "the last of its kind" and warned readers: "This is the only convertible currently built in America—there won't be another like it for 1977." Sure enough, the 1977 Eldorado brochure didn't show a convertible, but its predecessor wasn't the last of its kind. Cadillac released the updated Eldorado Biarritz convertible in 1984. The Pinifarina-designed Allante followed for the 1987 model year. Its successor, the XLR, arrived in 2004. In the years leading up to the XLR's release, Cadillac made some major changes to its product line. By the 2004 model year, it already had two SUVs: the SRX and the Escalade. It also decided to appeal to performance-minded buyers with its V-Series of cars, starting with the LS6-powered CTS-V sedan. The XLR benefited from Cadillac's focus on building cars that combine comfort with performance. First,…
Diego’s AutoHunter Picks
Remember the cartoon The comic strip "Motley's Crew"? The name comes from a phrase about a colorful group of people, and a certain heavy metal band borrowed the name, although it was also somewhat inspired by Slade. This week's AutoHunter picks include a wide variety of vehicles, both vintage and modern, but if you can't wrap your head around the idea that a modern car is 23 years old, you're not alone. Which one will you pick? 1956 Chevrolet 3100 StepsideLast week I wrote about a '56 Stepside listed on AutoHunter. It was lightly modified with a small block 350 and stock configuration, and then there was this stock example that perfectly showcased GM's prowess in that era. Who would have thought practicality could be so beautiful? I wonder if the Italians paid as much attention to this as they did to everything else Harley Earl did. This 1956 3100 Stepside was restored from the ground up and painted in…

Applicable to 12 generations For about 50 years, the Cadillac Eldorado coupe has been a hotly contested Personal luxury car When the final generation of the Eldorado debuted in 1992, Cadillac touted the car's engaging driving experience and said, "It could change the way people think about American cars."
