Cadillacs age terribly.

I've been putting in Cadillac and various years into Google images and I can't believe how ugly these cars are.

How did this business stay in business?

I feel like I'm looking at Homers car design in the Simpsons.

Total pimpmobile. Weird that James Bond posed with one, he should be next to an Ashton Martin.

I think the mid-70s Eldorados are my favorite. 1976 was the last year for the convertible version:

They're so huge though, I think they'd be hard to drive and park.

Yep. And the surprising thing is they were underpowered because of emission controls. (I guess in the early days of emission controls they didn't know how to compensate.) So you have this giant 7 liter (426 cu. in.) engine putting out under 200 horsepower.
