Cadillac Eldorado El Ballero



    Basically this is sort of a partial "neoclassic car" - a car whose design is inspired by older designs. Sorta like the current retro crap, but more extreme. Most offen "neoclassics" try to emmulate a design from the 1930's or before. With horrible results.

    This Caddy does so, but only goes halfway and ends up looking like a really long and ugly Eldorado. Step 1 - monster chrome grille. Step 2 - make the hood 2 feet longer and ad fake tires. Step 3 - remove rear quarter windows. Step 5 - add vinyl to make a faux convertable roof.

    To elaborate - these are semi-kitcars. They're not production cars and they're not one offs. Companies produced parts to make multiple versions of these monsters.

    *EDIT* - I found this and many other's in a craptastic 80's goldmine of modded Cadillacs. This was made by Global Coach Corporation.
