*Your first car*

[Eldorado2k]

My 1st car was a 1982 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz. I bought the car back in 1997 when I was 18yrs. old. It wasn’t the 1st Cadillac I fell in love with, but it was the 1st one I could afford.

That car never let me down. I wish I still had it today.



It’s also when the detailing bug hit.

My first car was a 1990 Mitsubishi Magna that cost me $1600 it was ok to learn on until the head gasket went.

Behold the glory of the 1990 Mitsubishi Magna. I'm curious to see if Mitsubishi US sold a version of this. Although in my memory I think it was developed for the Australian market. I had one as a loan car once, I felt like everyone was starring at me.

My first car in 2004 was a 2001 Ford Fairmont (Falcon) sedan.











This model Falcon, the AU, was reviled by most due to it's somewhat awkward styling, I am one the rare few who actually loved the way it looked. Mine was presumably owned by a previous owner who towed a caravan, as witnessed by the existence of a heavy duty tow bar and scraped rear mudflaps (these Falcon's were sprung very softly for comfort, hence the scraped mudflaps). I loved that car, the Barossa Red paint rewarded the detailing effort I poured into it. I changed the wheels and exhaust, added a rear spoiler and changed a few interior trim pieces, including the lovely Momo steering wheel. With an engine with huge low down torque and an open diff, it would rip single-peg burnout with ease!

I loved that AU so much that a decade later, I bought the ultimate version in what was called the T3 TS50. These had a stroked 5.6 Windsor V8 that used a hilarious amount of fuel but sounded stunning! I sold that car for my current XR8.







The spoiler looked rather silly and certainly drew many looks. It was apparently offered a measurable amount of down-force, but was really just a "mine is bigger than yours" situation between Holden and Ford at the time.

Yes definitely. I can’t imagine driving anything else. Nice Eldorado. I used to have a 92’ that looked alot like it.



This is the 1 I currently have. It’s a 2000 Deville DHS. I’ve owned 8 Cadillacs though out the years.




That’s really cool the way you made my picture look. I have that picture in a large frame. I wish I had made it look like that beforehand. Lol.

Dad had this "84...not a desirable Caddy for sure...lol

You have/had some very nice car's DFB a true credit to working hard and picking the right ones.

My first car was/is also a Cadillac. An ‘89 Coupe de Ville. I still have it! It’s my pride and joy and I don’t plan on ever getting rid of it although it rarely gets driven these days. I’ll try to get some decent photos this weekend…

I can one up the Capri. I had the same color Pinto, the exploding version.
