Classic may be a stretch. It may be a car of interest at a show. That's not a bad thing in a way. Having owned Cadillacs, I have my own recommendations for a newbie wanting one to buy one to do shows. If you are only spending 1500.00 and it gets you around, why fret over it not being a classic. Even rarity doesn't make a classic over a car that was never popular even when new. And was discontinued. It's like buying a black rare color Pacer. Interesting at a show and unusual. It may even go up in value, but still not a classic car. This is just an example, but hopefully gets the point across. I would rather see someone buy an older Eldorado convertible that are reasonable. But watch for Cadillacs that need costly restorations or you will be underwater on your investments.

You could make the same argument for any car ever built. Once it gets old enough, any car will "turn heads".

In the case of the Cimarron though, those heads would have to be too young to remember what a joke this model was, not only when new but for many years after.
