1981 Cadillac Eldorado

• Cream paint and chrome read clean and glossy in front, rear and side views, with a padded half-roof at the rear.
• The car sits on wire-style wheel covers with thin whitewall tires.
• White button-tufted leather seats, front and rear, look supple with no splits or heavy creasing visible.
• Door panels carry wide woodgrain inserts and present cleanly, and the dash shows matching wood trim.
• Brown carpet in the cabin and trunk looks clean, and the trunk holds a carpeted spare-tire cover.
• Only 9 photos in the set, and none shows the car in full side detail up close, so panel-level paint flaws can't be judged.
• No engine-bay photos in the set, so the engine and underhood condition can't be judged.
• No odometer or underside photos in the set, so the mileage reading and the floors and frame can't be judged.

Money: $18,000 buys a tidy-looking Eldorado on the strength of its paint, chrome and white leather, but with no engine, odometer or underside photo in the set, the mechanical side is the thing that can't be judged at this price.
