When cubic inches ruled the road


 The ad reads: The spirit of the seventies is nowhere more evident than in the handsome 1970 Eldorado. It exclusive new V-8 engine with a displacement of 8.2 liters (more than 500 cubic inches) performs with rare brilliance yet offers plentiful reserve to operate the Eldorado's many power assists. And with the precision of the front-wheel drive, Eldorado handles with the grace and agility that will set the pace for personal cars in the years ahead. The 1970 Eldorado, in every respect, heralds a decade of motoring excitement.

"Eldorado handles with the grace and agility..." A very bold statement on a land yacht that weighed 4894lbs (2220kg)
