Ready for a better life at Austin Speed Shop’s earlier location on S. Lamar.

I used to live around the corner from Dave’s Perfection Automotive garage, where classic American classics and hot rods were serviced and modified. I got many great pictures there, including this very lovely 1961 Cadillac Eldorado convertible. Love the color-matching wheel covers. Love this car, such style!

The previous model was very handsome and innovative as a front wheel driver (along with the Olds Toronado), but this fat, sloppy car in S. Austin, Texas, weighs over 5000 lbs and is a parody.
