    Nick Bennett Cornwall England What a talent! To even attempt to follow the 67-70 Eldorado ( which I love) must have been daunting. The convertible version in '71' was perfectly styled. I wouldn't change a thing. And the first year design was the best without the protection rubbing strips and of course now there was a convertible.

    I had a '72 Eldo convertible. I like how Wayne kept the " Darren Dip " in the profile of the Eldorado.

    Love the 1972 Eldorado. While the 1973 is cleaner, the 1972 has panache in my opinion. Thank You, Mr. Kady.

    Interesting to hear him share his thoughts but the interview was overly focused on the 1971 Eldorado. It would have been great to also hear him discuss his other noteworthy designs like the 1980 Seville parked in that garage.

    Dear Mr Kady, Please tell me if you remember the 1967 first year FWD Eldorado???. My Dad purchased a new 67, must have been a prototype in PLUM FIREMIST POLLY METALLIC. IT HAD A 500 C.I. MONSTER ENGINE FIRST BROUGHT OUT IN 1970, BUT THIS 67 HAD IT. IM POSSITIVE. I BELIEVE IT SAID 501 IN SMALL #s ON THE SIDE OF THE AIR CLEANER. IT HAD THE PAINTED BLINKERS AS IT SHOULD HAVE BUT ALSO THE ROUND CREST LIGHTS ON REAR QUARTERS WHICH CAME OUT IN 68. WHAT A RARE RARE 67 ELDO. HAVE NEVER SEEN ANOTHER ESPECIALLY THE PLUM PAINT!!!!!!
