Little heavy on the Caddy's but had some SHARP ones show up.

Gotta love that GTO.....

I LOVE the center latch piller next to the front seat for the suicide doors on that Eldorado. Is that not one of the coolest things you've seen? That car has SO many neat details, it's wild.

I really liked the gold Trans Am too, but hated the rear window shade. Don't care if it's "period correct", it looks bad. Odd that the car has manual windows too.... I still think that's one of the meanest looking Trans Am designs.....Bandit stigma or not.

The tri power goat is my choice for being the best looking original.The volvo wagon is nice but
something is different about the wagon part that I just cant figure out.Looks like someone took the wagon part of 1 car and dropped it on the volvo p1800 and didnt finish the job.

That Eldorado was the most expensive American car you could buy when it was new. Something like $14k even then.

It looked like a GM Motorama show car. The details were amazing. The scoops at the top of the front fenders, the "sculped" seats, flush hood, automatic "autronic eye" headlight dimmer on the dash, the stainless roof...and on and on. It's one of those cars that you have to take time to "explore". Gorgeous ride.
