1975 Cadillac Eldorado

[mbar]

Quando arriver? sar? curioso di sentire le differenze tra questa e la Mark V a tuo giudizio !

Sull'ultimo Hemming's Classic Car vi ? uno speciale sulle auto anni 70; l'articolo principale tratta di un comparison tra la Eldo e la Mark V. Dall'articolo la Eldo ne esce vincitrice. Secondo me ? questione di gusti. A me piacciono tantissimo tutte e 2, anche se la Mark V oggi la conosco benissimo e la Eldo meno, non avendone mai posseduto una (di quelle grosse, avevo un'83).

Ovviamente sul forum Lincoln la pensano diversamente, e patteggiano decisamente per la Mark V. Copio un post di un membro, perch? ? interessante:



In the 1970's, the Lincoln Mark was THE car to own, with the Eldorado second. Unlike today, 2 doors were all the rage, especially the personal luxury coupe. A 2 door meant you were a swinging single or at least had enough money to buy a special adults only car for when the kids and the family truckster were left at home. Four doors were for big families or old people that didn't like the heavy doors on a 2 door. Both uncool at the time. The Mark was the king of luxury coupes, at least here in the Chicago area. There were many companies that offered aftermarket Continental humps and opera windows so that you could dress up everything from your Torino and Monte Carlo to a Pinto. You just didn't see many Mercedes or BMW's back then, and most people weren't impressed when they did see one.



Too bad things aren't like that anymore. Lincoln lost its cache in the 1980's and never got it back.
