I received Stamp's beautiful new 1970 Cadillac Eldorado from Dave at ToyCarGeek this week. With Stamp's recent 1970 Olds Toronado and my NEO 1970 Buick Riviera I can now display all three GM E-bodies for 1970.
I'm pretty sure that Cadillac was the first to offer a power sunroof on an American production car. From my collection is a two-sided card showing this new option for Cadillac's E and C bodies for 1970.
Thank for looking!

Lovely grouping. Great collection of these three amazing cars. I wouldn’t kick any of them out of bed for eating crackers! Thank you for posting.

Three excellent models. They make a great trio. I have all three of them as well, same colors too. I didn't think of displaying these together, but it's a perfect idea, and one I'm going to steal. Thanks. Now I gotta move some models around.

Actually, Ford was, they were optional (installed off-site at ASC ) on 1967 Thunderbirds & Mercurys. Some 1960 Thunderbird owners claim to have electrically operated sunroofs too, however, Ford advertised "manually operated."
I like your '70 line-up for many reasons, including your color choices - it's refreshing to NOT see red, black, white, or gray.
PS
That's a beautiful Cadillac ad.... but I wouldn't want (nor have I ever seen ) anyone standing on MY seats! 😬 😬

GM E bodies, one of the few car bodies that served as rear wheel drive AND front wheel drive. The others, the Triumph 1300, Toledo and Dolomite and the Austin 1800 (Land Crab) and Three litre.

The most elegant was definitely the Buick. Outstanding Trio.

In fact they all look terribly nice, but after some consideration I would go for the Toro.
And please give me a picture of a lady with high heels getting out of a car........grrrr

@john-sharisky Outstanding! I love displaying cars that belong together, and you hit the nail on the head with this threesone!

Did Neo make 1969 and 1970 Rivieras? Mine is a '69. BTW, I too got an Eldo from Dave but opted for green.
