As far as I'm concerned, this is the best styled car of the 1970s. So nice. It really did a great job of bridging the gap between the baroque, landau brougham designs that would later rise to prominence, while still incorporating many of the more tailored and muscular looks of the 60s. The fact that it shares so much with the other division b bodies, and looks nothing like them, is a real accomplishment. These cars are even better in person than they are in photos or videos. This example is truly stunning on film! Thank you to Mr Kady and all the others who made this beautiful brute happen. Wally seems like quite the guy to help make it happen! Absolute artistry and great business sense to bring the design to fruition, in spite of being in the GM machine.

GM should have learned from this example - instead, they eventually just stamped the very same car with different logos, instead of differentiating their models more distinctly. If they had, there would still be a Pontiac and an Oldsmobile with their own unique designs and personalities.

As Spock would say, "Fascinating." A beautiful car designed by a gentleman with foresight and diplomacy as well as artistic vision. His praise for and appreciation of the people who brought this rolling masterpiece to fruition speaks volumes about his character and the corporate subculture that managed to accomplish so much despite the constraints imposed from on high. Also, I must admit to a severe case of envy that you know these incredible people; however, I am very grateful you get them to share their stories. Outstanding job, Adam!

I worked in college for a physician in the early 70's who had a powder blue Eldorado coupe, a 1973. He used to send me on errands driving that car, so I spent quite a lot of time monthly in it in Houston traffic. Like Doug deMuro has said, it is like piloting a boat. As I owned a VW Super Beetle at the time, that car was not only massive, but dead quiet and very, very smooth. Young men like me didn't drive these Cadillacs so I got a lot of interesting looks in it. He replaced it with the new Seville when it came out and had nothing but trouble with it dying in traffic, switched over to a Lincoln Mk V. These are great videos, and thanks!

As the founder of Emblemagic (which has since been sold to a California outfit) I was excited to see Wayne's discussion of the Cadillac crest. He has all of the details quite correct. What is interesting is that D.L. Auld the Columbus Ohio vendor that showed him the new technique for making emblems that looked like cloisonne, but was far cheaper and more uniform in production, also provided the Automotive cloisonne emblems going back to the early years of the 20th century. Even today Utica Metals is still producing cloisonne emblems, (Mostly huge tractor trailer badges now). For more than 25 yrs. I used to restore these original cloisonne emblems, using the same processes by which they were originally made. So I was well aware of the exact problems Wayne mentions with them. In fact, Other than a scant few situations, almost all cloisonné work is now done in the far east mostly due to costs. Another problem facing US cloisonne producers was that the EPA outlawed the lead-bearing enamels in the 70s that were needed to get those deep rich translucent colors (like the gold used behind the merlettes). Today those lead-bearing enamels can still be obtained from outside the USA. As always, it nevers fails to be profitable to watch these videos, even when the car discussed is not necessarily ones favorite.

This is great information and great to see the designer responsible for the cars I love. My 53 coupe had the side chrome vents, just amazing details along with all the polished stainless steel!!! Had a 74 sedan that was overheating so I pulled over but left it running. Opened the hood and flames were burning old oil on the valve covers. I closed the hood and drove it to the nearest garage, flames went out with the wind from driving. Once cooled a new fan belt was installed and a couple quarts of oil. The car lasted me several more years. Try that with a modern alloy engine!!

Thank you for bringing us yet another amazing video, Adam! I have a great amount of respect for Mr. Kady and his design team in creating such a masterpiece in this generation Eldorado, and this is coming from a classic Lincoln/Continental man. If I was alive in 1971 or 72 and had the money to buy an American personal luxury car, I would have a hard time choosing between the 71-72 Eldorado in convertible form or a 71 Mark III/72 Mark IV- and I want to emphasize this is especially high praise coming from a guy who thinks the 1972 Mark IV was one of the most beautiful cars ever built. Personally, I highly prefer the 1971-72 Eldorado design over the 1967-70- which, in its own right, was a stunning car as well. Thank you, Adam and Mr. Kady, for taking us behind the scenes on how this fine car came to be and revealing the small- yet important- details that make me appreciate the Eldorado of this era even more

I remember when these cars were new on the road. At freeway way speeds the convertible top would balloon out. I guess they were driving with the windows down. Some years ago when I had my 1978 Eldorado Biarritz I test drove a 1972 Convertible. The 1972 certainly had more power and felt more nimble. Of course that is a relative term when talking about 2nd generation Eldorados. I've been lusting for one of these early convertibles for quite a while. A week ago while driving I spotted one in someones backyard. I drove around until I found the house. I was prepared to knock on the door and ask about the car but the house looked a little sketchy. I decided to write down the address and contact the owner by snail mail. No response so far. Wayne's car is absolutely beautiful.

Funny thing that when I got the machine, it was sort of a consolation prize for a TR-6 in Maryland that I missed by minutes (this is when folks put ads in the newspaper to sell their cars). I got it for $1,000.00 in 1979-a steal! The original owner had just bought a Rabbit GTI. In any event, it grew on me and I was very sorry when I crashed it. It would have been the perfect car for college.

Mr Kady has amazing recall of events that occurred over 50 years ago. Mrs Kady was right, her husband had to own one of his creations, and no bigger statement than the Eldorado. His comments at the end were informative, and were an insight to the designer's challenge - how to differentiate a Cadillac from a Chevrolet when using the same platform, and get the customer to pay more for basically the same car? Design it and then over to the marketing guys to sell the dream. Of course once the Germans entered the luxury market, that wheeze was up.

Had the '85 DeVilles come out with the original design (which actually did come out in '89) they would have been a hit. (just like they were in 89-93, when the wizards of smart at GM finally acquiesced to putting the 5-6 inches of exterior dimensions back on the cars; that and the reliable, powerful 4.9 v8.) None of that is the original designer's fault.

The reason it goes down 'asymmetrically' is because one folding side rail hinges at a different spot than the other side, allowing the rails to 'scissor' next to each other as they go behind the seat...instead of beside it like all ragtops prior...hence the colloquial name for the top. It almost looks broken while in motion but both sides end up equally at each end of the motion. Great fun to watch
