Cadillac EldoRODo Concept 2000

California Dreaming - Cadillac's Eldorodo hot rod concept
11 Jan 2000

Cadillac has created a modern hot rod with retro looks - the Eldorodo, derived from the successful Eldorado Touring Coupe range. This is probably just a styling exercise for the Cadillac design team to show off at the Detroit Motor Show.

The designers took the Eldorado - the best-selling luxury coupe in the US - and lowered the body by four inches, raking the windscreen and rear window angles by 10 degrees to meet the new lowered roofline, and reducing the size of the side and quarter window openings. Full length bumper skirts cover the rear tyres, and the wheels, tail lights, headlights and indicators all have a retro feel. The 300 bhp Northstar engine used in the standard Eldorado is fitted.

I didn't know mirrors could be used as wheels!

Anyway this thing is awful and doesn't give justice to the original Eldorado we love.

I was about to complain that somebody couldn't spell. Then I got it Eldo-ROD-o.

I'm a little slow but I figure it out eventually...

The orange colour (kinda like what Lamborghini uses now) is very nice but it just doesn't match up with the car.
Oh well, it just a concept!
