From My Collection... A Look at Three

I have been contemplating whether to order the 1970 Eldo Biarritz in Nottingham Green. Your excellent photos nudged me over the edge.

All three, elegant and in perfectly selected colors! Great pics John!

Nice assortment of FWD cars.  😉 

Three very nice models. I wonder who comes up with the color names?

@ed-davis Either OEM marketing departments and/or paid consultants.

I love these names and not just for cars, but all kinds of 'aspirational' goods. I'd loved to have had naming these as my job. (As a simple example, 'stone' is gray.)

All three nice looking models.

These look exceptional and they all are in excellent colors. Great replicas in anyone's display area.

Let's go for a spin in these; just let me grab my Captain's hat.

When I first arrived in Florida, centuries ago, I was hired by a man who owned a 'gentleman's' bar just a block off of the beach, and he drove a brand new, red 1972 Eldorado with a white top.  Sam was a big man, but I still think he was brave to park it next door, at the service station, while we were open at night. Surprisingly, nobody touched it. 

Many years ago a fellow I worked with bought a very nice used '78 Eldorado convertible, black with red leather interior.  It had a massive engine and he said he got 8 mpg.  It made quite the statement and we used to call it the love boat as he was quite the ladies man.  Lol.

@jack-dodds  Do you live in Florida, and is his name Sam?

@gdh Not exactly......at the time I lived in Victoria, British Columbia, Canada, and his name was Murray.  LOL.
