Junkyard Find: 1984 Cadillac Eldorado

As the owner of a proper California-built custom, I'm always on the lookout for down-at-the-heels examples of the breed when I return to my former state of residence. Last month, I spotted this flamed-and-custom-grille-equipped Eldo in a San Jose-area yard.

It's not in terrible shape, but there's some rust in areas with lots of body filler and the interior is a bit on the beat side.

Watsonville, where hot rodder Wally Klock lived his life, isn't far from this yard.

All this car really needed was a Biarritz interior swap.

I hope some Eldorado owner will spot this grille and rescue it before it gets eaten by The Crusher.
