Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
Wow now THAT is a truly unique and interesting Cadillac design effort! I am going to have to look a few more times to absorb it all...very challenging and well done.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
It looks like you used the Centennial Concept as your base template for this.....very creative.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
I like some elements of the design, but it looks 'unfinished', somehow, to my eyes.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
Uhh...I'm not sure if this would qualify as a potential best-seller...cars like the Mercedes CL-Class and BMW 6-series don't exactly sell in treasure troves.
A note to all design contest participants - if I pound you with penalties or point out that you can't enter one of your designs, please do not think that this is a personal bash on you as a designer. I am merely enforcing the rules that I have set down.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
I agree. Seems like it needs some refinement somehow. Interesting, for sure.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
I like the way it has the look of an old photo of a prototype from the past that never saw the light of day.
But like such a prototype it also has that unfinished-thought look, like what market exactly was that for? Where would it fit in the line-up? But it sure looks interesting....

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
I love it. Like Cadillacs answer to the Mille millignia [sp?] with a touch of Bugatti atlantic. Art and science meets art deco. I also like that it overcomes the design disadvantage of both coupe and sedan by extending the c pillar to the rear end. Nice.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
That's the one. I love that design and can only fantasise about the blarty trumpeting that spews forth from the triangular side pipe. When I said looks a bit like, what I really meant is appears from the same era.

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
Yes it's that special art deco era that it seems to belong to. A time when cars were designed for form and perceived aerodynamic function.... Originally Posted by mikmak

^^^ And another modern interpretation...
vvv And a mikmak budget version....

Re: Cadillac Eldorado X
Don't mind at all. I think it actually improves on what I did. The Mille Miglia didn't even cross my mind. Very appealing edit. Originally Posted by MonaroSS
