Eldo Camino: 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Pickup
Folks into trucks are always arguing about which kind of drive system is better — many say 4-wheel-drive trucks are the best because you can drive through anything, while others say the basic rear-drive pickup is the best because you get to fish tail in the dirt…but, naturally, they are both wrong. The best kind of pickup is the front-wheel-drive pickup, particularly one built on a Cadillac chassis. Find this 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Pickup offered for $9995 in Edgewater, FL via craigslist.

I probably would have chosen something other than sky blue for the tonneau cover. It looks like one of those pimped out Vegas cars with a hot tub in the back.
I was really admiring this, not that I would want to own one, but it would be cool to see one around. Than that last picture of the front. I guess that those grill caps are supposed to remind the easily confused of a Rolls Royce or 1960s Mercedes, but this is just ugly. The nose is the best part of the Eldorado and this is a little too truck like.
I’m sure that shot of the grill filling up your rear view mirror has caused a few bowel movements over the years!
If I were a 70ish year old grandpa this would be a great cruising machine. Though I’d redo the interior in a nice leather and fix the grill.
