Can anyone tell me what this is?  I'm told is a 73 eldorado however check out the  @#!*%  end. I can't seem to find any other cadillacs this year like this.



It's supposed to all original as well. I know you deal with the older cars but I'm hoping you can shed some light here.



Is it real or somebodies modified version of Johnny cashs cadillac?



Thanks for any assistance,

Aaron

It's a 1974 --- but Cadillac never made one with fins like that.  This looks like Bubba's
work trying to create 50's nostalgia in his back yard.

Yes, I agree with Mike.  It is a 74, and it is not likely a GM original that left the factory with a warranty and those fins.  If the car was all shined up we could see if they did a good job or not.  That car looks too far gone, and likely is that if you want this look, best to buy a decent 74 and modify.  Thanks for showing it to us.
