Citröen 2CV

In 1970 the Eldorado introduced the new 500 cu in (8.2 L) V8 engine, the largest-ever production V8, rated SAE gross 400 hp (298 kW) and 550 lbft (746 Nm), which would remain exclusive until it became standard on all full size Cadillacs in the 1975 model year. It belongs to the sixth generation. The new Eldorado was a great departure from the previous generation, which had become little more than a dressed-up version of Cadillac's De Ville. Its crisp styling, initiated by GM styling chief Bill Mitchell, was distinctive and unique, more angular than the streamlined Riviera and Toronado. This was the only production Cadillac to be equipped with concealed headlights behind vacuum operated doors. This massive car is avaliable for weddings, shootings, and video clips.
