This is my latest project, a 1972 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado coupe. I just got this a couple weeks ago, all of the pictures shown were taken at it's old home, before I even got a chance to wash it. Right now it's in the shop getting some front end work done, so when it gets out I'll update with fresh stuff.

 

It has 66,000 original miles on it, everything still feels tight & solid, and the 500 cid is really strong. Before I got it, it had been sitting for seven years, so the paint is showing some age. In the late '90s it was repainted, and the top was redone with fake convertible ribs & covered opera windows. It also has custom true duals installed with cherry bombs... yeah, it sounds nice.

 

I don't have any interior shots yet, but it's 'Antique Saddle' leather. Still in pretty good shape too.

Paint color is Palomino Firemist w/ a black top.

I did a little photochop of the side view to represent what my first plans are for it when I get it back from the shop. Wider whitewalls and tinted windows.

So, like I said this is only the beginning, I have lots of plans for this one. Just couldn't wait to get a page up for it. Tell me what you think, and if you have any ideas, just throw them out, I'm still brainstorming about it.

As usual...keeping the classic Caddy stock up. I would try to make it as stock as possible. Exept the tints and that giant 500 under the hood.
