The best worst example of the '80s that I just inherited

 Came here hoping (?) for a Cimarron, am only slightly disappointed. Let's find out how bad the bad really was.

Hey, J.A.'s Caddy has a friend now.

I think you're right 🤣. Love the leather interior on this one.

Filler panels on these Caddies are awful. Mine are basically all gone. I'll be looking for some new aftermarket ones eventually. Just got to wait for warmer weather. 

Does that have the starter under he intake manifold?  Nice to ride around on a comfy couch once in a while isn't it?

Hello fellow Burqueño. This reminds me of Gone in Sixty Seconds.. the newer one. Cool car, it is nice when they are able to stay in the family.

OMG, I had forgotten about that and my grandpa's 3rd gen Seville.  I think that one was pretty unceremoniously junked when he passed in '91.

I'm going to get mine from "Antique Cadillac Parts dot net", but I think that all the ABS replacements are basically the same.

Fortunately, it's basically never too cold to paint here in Albuquerque, so I'm going to do them and the trunk lid as soon as I get over to the paint store.

My wife's great uncle had an extremely similar Eldo. Not a convertible, and it was champagne or almond with a medium brown leather interior.

Thanks to the people that posted the phrase "road sofa" upthread. Perfect description.

Same but I was pleasantly surprised and kinda like it myself.

Kinda cool to see one in decent, at least cosmetic, shape

When I spent a winter working in the paper mills of the great north woods in northern Minnesota, my boss had one just like that - but not convertible.  He would drive it all winter without the radiator cap.  "Wait, you can't do that", I protested at first.  I had a lot to learn about the northland.
