On my way to town with Eddie for a last supper with Moni before she departs for university tomorrow morning, we saw this immaculately beautiful red Cadillac Eldorado convertible crossing the tracks at Jeziorki. By the looks of it, a '72 model? This was the car from the novel Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter S. Thompson.Eddie and I both raced down to the roadway to catch it pass by. What a magnificent piece of machinery! Cherished, pampered, driven only on sunny days - this should be the fate of mankind's automotive heritage.
the ultimate urban cruising machine - wondrous, gleaming and filmic. All it needs is the San francisco sun on its brooding elegant shell. Remember the really pimped-up one in Magnum Force!?

If only it ran on biodiesel and could do 75 miles to the gallon when stuck in traffic...
ReplyDeleteHey, I saw you running down the platform to do this photo. But it was worth it. It's a pleasure to see cars like this one on the streets, especially in a good condition.
