This was my first car! I bought it from my Grandparents when I was 15 years old for $500.00 in 1987. They had bought it new in 1973. Great car! I wish that I still had it.
I am right there with you as I got my grandfather's 73 Coupe in 1978 when I turned 16. He went to trade it in on a 78 Sedan deVille and didn't like what the dealer offered on trade, so it became mine. Those were awesome cars. and I am very fortunate to have had one. Back then, I was probably the only kid and certainly the first driver of that car that dutifully wore the lap and separate shoulder belts when I drove. My grandfather rode with me many times and thought it was complete nonsense that I buckled up, especially the shoulder belt, but he would wear the lap belt just to appease me. Aside from the obvious safety aspect, I found that being buckled up gave me a better feeling of how the car drove and handled. Safety and an enhanced driving experience, it was a no-brainer for me buckle up. Good thing that I did. I was coming home one weekend from college when a drunk driver in a Chevrolet Suburban crossed the center line and hit me head on. Due to the size and quality of the car along with the lap and shoulder belts I walked away with very minor cuts and scrapes. The worst reminders of the crash were the dark purple bruises across my abdomen and chest from the belts that lasted for several weeks. However, that was nothing compared to the un-belted drunk driver. His face and chest slammed into the steering wheel and dash causing massive injuries. That Cadillac along with wearing the seat belts most likely saved my life that night.
Same here, but in 86. Had that car till 03. Junked as I was starting my 75s restoration and didn't think I should keep her. Sadly, the 75s restoration went sideways and wished I hadn't gotten rid of the 73.
Hello. I have a 1973 Coupe de Ville as well. I am trying to change the tail light and the bulb broke . It is probably the original bulb. Myncar only has 43,000 miles on it. Can you give me some advise on how to get the bulb stem out of the socket?
Awesome, clean original car! But I could do without the annoying music. Narration, description or just plain silence would be preferred. But nice survivor!.
That's what that mute button is for. The music is there for those who like it, and the mute button is there for those who don't. Personally I prefer Narration.
@@davidjoe3368 The only problem with the mute button, is if narration is intermittent, you miss out on it wit sound muted. I agree, I prefer narration or just plain machine sounds. Happy New Year to you!😊
I had a 73 it was light blue with the nyline interior i put a 84 caddy casstet deck look so good then this one needs the hood oredement other than that its a clean clean 73 3:45
Now THAT’S a real car. This crap they sell nowadays will never compare, or be around in 50 or 60 years! Love this car, but HATED the music! Why do all these videos have to be mind-melting rock? Something soothing like jazz or easy, listening music would be more comparable for a car like this. This car is elegant and deserves elegant music. If you were showing a hot rod, then you play the headbanging metal.
I wouldn't be so candid calling out vehicle's condition. Your number will be someone else's number 2. I've been around to witness it.. every classic car enthusiast view varies..
Magnificent! The condition of that White Leather Interior is sumptuous! One can see why, "More than ever . . . America's Number One Luxury Car!"
That car just took my breath away . Beyond words !!

I got my Dads 1974 Eldorado in 1982. Wish I had it as well! Great car rode like it was floating!
@@ToddBrockman-wr2ds I know exactly what you are describing. Like riding a “Lazy-Boy”.
