What an embarrassment to Cadillac. Or for any car maker for that matter to do that to a car.

And the 5 cent exhaust system is the perfect match to the rest of it.

YOU DON"T HAVE A RUSTY EXHAUST TIP HANGING OUT FROM THE BUMPER.   :pull hair:
It must have been the first exhaust system that shop ever built.   :jack:

The state of the exhaust tip is the LEAST of that thing's problems......... :yikes:

That series Eldo was one of the great styling jobs too IMHO. :No:

I wonder what the extra knobs/switches on the lower dash are for?

I see some sort of remote entry/alarm on the keys. I guess the light above the radio is related.

As much as I dislike these things, that one deserves a good restoration. It's just on the verge of getting really bad.

I see too that it has the 2-belt compressor with HEI. I wonder how close the belts are to the cap on his.

Gary,

It seems you revert back to your roots so naturally. 

Fortunately you appear to have excelled in the ESL courses that your accent is normally not discernible when you type.   ;D
