“Syphilytic monstrosity.”

Heh. A friend in high school called the Cavalier the "Cadaverlier," and the Cimarron was "nothing but a Cadaverlier with power seats."

My 8th grade English teacher told us that when she was 16, she thought she would be rich if she had a mink coat, a Corvette, and $100.

Or, if it is to be a front wheel drive Cadillac convertible, then it needs to be a gigantic mid-70s Eldo, steer horns on the hood optional. 

It’s the 80s trying to relive the glory days of the 70s and failing miserably, rather than looking to the future. Cadillac was like a 50 year old fat guy trying to fit into his high school letterman’s jacket back then. It would be another couple of decades before they realized they needed to change their diet and go…

The real thing is for sale near me - a triple white 1975 Eldo droptop “Boss Hogg” model with 75k original miles - for nine grand. It has less than the extra 4500 bucks’ worth of cosmetic fixes, with more than enough change left over to install the steer horns on the hood.

The engine was already a problem when these left the factory. It’s a turd.

There is a warped part of me wondering how much of a Grand Prix GTP can be bolted in and under a bustleback Seville.

These seats are much more at home in a 70s “Large Car Of Beauty And Grace” Caddy than in a late-malaise FWD disappointment Caddy.

This would have been the engine that blew on my great-aunt’s Caddy at around 4k, less than a year from new, after multiple electrical failures that had it at the dealership all the time. My uncle was a very wealthy small-town farmer who bought her a brand new Caddy with a cashier’s check every other year He was…

If if I decided to touch one of these with a ten-foot pole, a 4100-ectomy would be at the top of the to-do list.

As it sits, I’m a buyer at $5k. Throw in a 3800 swap and other upgrades from a Grand Prix GTP, replace the top, and fix the stupid murdered-out trim, and I’m a buyer at $9k. At five figures, I’m chuckling, unless you secretly sat it down on a CTS chassis or something, which would indeed be hilarious.

I've seen this lately, on a couple of longtime residents of my local Facebook Marketplace. One was listed at $5k for nearly a year, then showed up at $7k one day. Another didn't sell at $10k for three months or so, then was bumped to $13,500. Bold strategy, Cotton.

As long as you PUT THE DAMN KNOBS BACK ON THE DASH as well.

How about a fresh air duct routed to the compartment that the screen disappears into? It wouldn’t need to necessarily be air conditioned air, just free-flowing fresh air from outside the car.

Hi. Luddite here. Put all the damn knobs and sliders back on the dashboard. The only thing you NEED a screen for is the reverse camera, which belongs in the rearview mirror anyway.

As a corollary:

Put it in the rear view mirror, where it should have been from the start.

I’m shocked!

Heh. Not Trans Am, but Formula. The winged AM badge on the tail reminds me of the bird decal on the spoiler.
