I was 12 years old, when these rolled off the assembly line. To this day, they are still one of my favorite cars ever. Like a late 40's Buick sport back, a 66 Riv, 70 Eldorado, and so on.... back when GM cared about design.

​@@paulparoma; Yes, you're correct 💯. Isn't it an absolute shame? And just think 10 years earlier Detroit was king and aids meant assistance. That's why I've got to agree with my brother when he said "today is a throwaway or disposable society". In automotive manufacturing parlance it's almost as good as saying "The Japanese have won the war". If you think about it the state of the US auto industry is just about equal to the city of Detroit itself. Sad really sad.

Agreed! But having said that, I came across one of Bill's most entertaining videos to date from about 3 years ago; a review of a small BMW electric SUV. The absolute loathing, seething contempt and abject hatred that Bill displayed towards that horrid little "toaster on wheels" was epic and by far the most enjoyable review of an EV I have ever experienced. Apart from Bill's equally humorous Prius and Tesla reviews, I will rarely ever actually sit through an entire review video of any EV.

Let's see, if I was a middle age guy in the 1980s, I'd probably be driving a late 70s Continental Mark V, wearing a fedora, and a fancy cigar in my mouth. I like Eldos also, but the Conti Mark is where it's at for me. Enjoy that vacation, and be safe!

Owned an all silver loaded '83 Eldo just like the one in the movie Casino. Gorgeous car. GM nailed it with the styling of the '79-'85s & has stood the test of time very well. The only issue the E-bodies (Eldo, Toro, Riv & Seville) had was the Diesel & the 8-6-4 engine option & were very unreliable. Back then a mechanic on Detroit's east side had quite a good business swapping out those engines for a 350, 425 or 455 gas V8.

Oh, did this bring back memories of my ‘85 black Eldorado. It was spec’d with a tan fabric interior and no vinyl roof. It also had the Touring Suspension. It was also about $23K out the door but I leased it at $325 a month. I was 34 living in Flushing, NY. I’m tall and ordered the reclining option for the driver’s seat but the dealer punched in the wrong code and it came on the passenger side. I was surely pissed but didn’t want to re-order the car. I ended up keeping it for 2 years and replaced it with a new ‘87 Mustang GT 5-speed with T-Tops, also in black.

There’s something authoritative about a car designed with a square ruler. Some Liberace level gaudiness would be nice to have in American car design language.

I'd definitely have fun with a Canadian Hooker in that back seat and afterward I'd smoke using the dual ashtrays taking turns on both of them. Not to mention all the places I could stash my 9mm in that large ass car! Thanks man!

I owned an 81 with a V6. Great car, but severely underpowered. I did not want the 8-6-4 or the diesel. The scene with DeNiro in Casino is absolutely true. Look up Lefty Rosenthal. On October 4, 1982, Rosenthal survived an assassination attempt in Las Vegas, in which a bomb attached to the gasoline tank was detonated when he started his car.[7] While Rosenthal had dined at the Tony Roma's restaurant at 620 E. Sahara Avenue, a person or persons unknown placed the bomb in his car. Rosenthal likely survived because of a manufacturing device unique to his particular model car (a 1981 Cadillac Eldorado): a stout metal plate under the driver's seat, installed by General Motors on all El Dorado models to correct a balancing problem. This plate shielded Rosenthal's body from most of the explosion's force.

Yes. These were the last true classic styled Cadillacs. The only issue is the 4100 engine. Underpowered and issues with head gaskets. However if you maintain them usually you can get life out of them. I own a 1984 Coupe DeVille. Been in the family since new. Rides awesome and last year of the full size rear drive body.

Thanks for the video Bill, I bought an 81 of this exact car in 88, minus Biarritz but I had moonroof, probably same time you had the Riv. It was strikingly beautiful car and made me feel like king behind the wheel despite the anemic 6-8-4 rewired engine!

Yesss!🤩 You pronounce Biarritz cor-rect-ly with 3 syl-lab-les! "Bee-ar-ritz", not the clunky "Bar-ritz" of a few car posting hosts. Thanks for that touch of class, Bill.

You make my days when you get to these cars. I’ve been fortunate enough to have a few Cadillac’s. And I’ve loved every one. I want nothing to do with the new suv hatch backs. I couldn’t pick out a favorite if I had to. But the 68-69 is such a dream to me.

Be advised that battery powered LYRIQ is garnering rave reviews, and is the best Cadillac in a very long time. Interior in particular is just stunning.
