1977 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz review from North America
"Queen Mary III Best Car I Will Ever Own"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Seats have started to wear after almost 30 years of use.
Rad stopped Cycling for 2 years before it got fixed.
Air ride failed, but its fairly cheap and easy to do if you are a whizz with that stuff.
Seatbelts stopped locking.
Power antenna burned out.
General comments?
I love this car to death it is the best car I have ever owned.
Its like riding a cloud you don't feel a thing.
There is so much room in the front seats that you can recline it and sleep more comfortably than you would in your own bed.
With about 3 meters of hood infront of you along with the 6.5 tons of car behind you, you feel invincible.
This car does not go fast, but that's not the point its made to go down the road with elegance which it does.
This Car is perfect for those of you who don't take corners over 50kmh, need to stop fast or don't mind the 4 miles per gallon rate that it drives at.
My only advice is to watch out for bad CV Joints because they are near impossible to come across and to have one made will cost a fortune.
AND TAKE CARE OF YOUR VINYL!
