1970 Cadillac Eldorado review from North America

To date, some 34 years after owning this truly wonderful car, it has only needed just regular service.

The valve cover gaskets started to leak about four years ago, and that was an easy, and cheap fix.

I think the water pump went bad at one time many, many years ago, when the car was still fairly new.

This cars power is very, very impressive!!! A Corvette is quicker off the line, but the Corvette won't lose the Eldorado. 34 years later, this huge, powerful car still gets very respectable gas mileage, around 17 in the city and about 19-21 on the open road. I have never owned a more reliable, and well built car. My car still has a shiny, glossy paint job, which is original. The inside of the car looks new, very little wear, on a 34 year old car with almost 200,000 miles on it.

I have owned many cars since 1970,but this is the only one I have kept. In 1970 Cadillac was the "Standard of the World",I find it sad they cannot make that claim now.

This car, in my opinion, handles quite well, even by todays standards.
