My Uncle left his 1995(?) Eldorado to my Dad when he passed away in 1997.
It became the generic 'extra' car in the family for a while. As such, when I visited - it was the car I was given to get around in. All in all - It was a pretty nice ride. Northstar V8 and all the bells and whistles and... Just comfortable for cruising in. I drove it down HWY 1 a few times (Big Sur) and while it was not my first choice for driving down that way - all in all, a very good 'cruise-mobile' while getting near 30mpg if I recall correctly.

It started to have electrical glitches and my Dad grew frustrated with it (in that way) - so it was sold off after a couple of years.
