When I stop or go to fill up, many people ask me if this is a Maserati. I suppose with its Italian lines it's understandable.
Parts are plentiful from Rockauto and others in the USA and much cheaper than the UK even though it's a Cadillac. Easy to keep as it's same length and width as an Audi A3 so no parking or garaging problems. If you're handy with a spanner and enjoy home servicing, the engine photo shows how accessible everything looks. This appreciating classic is less than six years before becoming Historic registered vehicle and prices are rising especially in the USA and Europe. In fact, one today in the States is up at $53, 000.
Cadillac hadn't built a luxury two seater sports car since 1930s so did a deal with Pininfarina to design and build the car before it was put on a cargo jumbo 747 to Detroit to have the engine and driveline installed. This cost $6000 on each car making it Cadillac's most expensive vehicle at that time. In fact, you could buy two Eldorados and get change. In todays money, the car would cost $130, 000. In comparison, the car is a steal at £8995 and is likely to appreciate the closer it gets to becoming Historic.
