UNDERCOVER BROTHER CADILLAC TV

Nevertheless, the monster 500-cubic inch V8 is said to “run GREAT,” and the car to have “lots of NEW stuff,” although what that stuff is, I don’t know. The originality of the interior speaks to the seller’s claim of just 44,000 miles, as does the clean appearance of the engine compartment-at least until you look closely enough to notice the blue paint overspray. What there is in the back, aside, presumably, from claustrophobia due to the deletion of the already-small rear opera windows, is a swanky fur rear window surround. Nor is there any diamond in the back of this surprisingly original interior, at least not in the traditional sense-diamond-quilted upholstery-although I guess houndstooth check is sort of diamond-y in its own way. Curiously, there is no evidence of an actual TV.

And, no, your eyes did not deceive you on that top photo: there is indeed a TV antenna in the back. Along similar lines, the seller refers to the “wise guy wheels” fitted to the car (note to wise guys: the trunk is very big) the twin faux sidemounts, curb feelers, chromey front end additions, and padded vinyl top with landau irons speak for themselves. for including a reference to another great moment for custom Cadillacs in pop culture, William DeVaughn’s legendary 1974 soul groove “Be Thankful for What You Got.” The title is an admonishment for us all, even though “You may not drive a great big Cadillac (diamond in the back, sunroof top, diggin’ the scene with a gangsta lean)/Gangsta whitewalls, TV antenna in the back….” But, if you’re the lucky type, all it takes to be thankful for what you’ve got and drive this great big Cadillac is a trip here to craigslist, then to the bank to withdraw $17,000, then to Fort Myers, Florida to pick it up!Īlas, you still won’t have a sunroof top-and the gangsta lean is up to you-but gangsta whitewalls (with gold stripes!) are very much in play here. Of course, that’s noted custom Cadillac fan Elvis depicted on the Continental kit of this ’73 Eldorado, but thanks to tipster Patrick S.
