Hard to believe 4 years has gone by.  Bought the car with 11,500 miles on it, and it now has 24,000 miles on it.
In that time I have worked out all the little bugs in my car.
I am showing a picture with the tan floor matts in the car, but I do have the originals. I just don’t use them , except for shows.
To me this is the best car I have ever owned. It is a sure pleasure to drive on trips.

Looking pretty fresh out of the wrapper there, Roy.

I have to say yours looks good with them big ol whitewalls on it.
Maybe someday I'll break down and buy those. But don't hold your breath.................ha



Thanks Dan.

Once you get 'em on, you'll be saying to yourself, "What have I been thinking all those years?"

Trust me.  ;)

Beautiful car!!! Triple Mulberry compliments a well-designed, nicely proportioned Cadillac in one of the brands best model years. However, I have to agree with Eric, the wider white sidewall would be the "icing on the cake!" I like that your car is so well equipped--the 50/50 seats, leather, opera lamps, etc. (In May I replaced the Broadway Classics "medium" sized white sidewall with the Coker American Classics 1.7" white sidewall on my '71 Eldorado Convertible--even though not offered in '71, I find it is "period" correct since many owners replaced their tires with the bigger whitewall radial once it appeared as standard in 1975--my car was delivered by the selling dealer with five Landau tires that had a Greek-key patterned sidewall and still has the original spare one.)

Thank you Rich.
This is what it would look like with ERIC's tires on it.......ha
This car sold on Ebay last week. It is only the second one I have seen in four years like mine.
