Saturn Simon ◊ 2006-01-11 21:12	It's a 1971 Cadillac, possibly a Fleetwood 60 Special.
MrCadillac ◊ 2006-01-12 11:07	It's a pimped out '71, with typical grille cap and false landau bars on the roof sail panel. n front of it is a similarly pimped out Eldorado, also circa '71-72.
Junkman ◊ 2006-01-12 11:43	They all look like Les Dunham creations to me and I seem to recall that there was an article about them in Hemmings years ago, which said all the custom Caddies in to Live and Let Die were supplied by Dunham Coach. Les Dunham seems to enjoy some sort of cult status among the 70s hip pimp wannabees. Lookee here: http://cyclevideo.com/DunhamCoach.htm
klint ◊ 2007-09-18 18:42	Cadillacs from 1971-73 are basically the same car except details. Since the movie is from ´73 the car is most likely a ´73, possibly a ´71 or ´72.
JEEPMAN ◊ 2008-08-19 19:21	Definately a 71 or 72, I'd lean towards 72, cant really see any lourvers in the trunk that the 71 had, Definately not a 73, I had an Uncle that had a 73, the the rear tailights were only one one top and the bottom was a rubber bumper guard. Just a note, this car is missing it fender skirts. Same for the Eldorado, probably a 71 or 72.
JEEPMAN ◊ 2008-08-19 19:23	One more item, the 73 had an extension bumper in the front, this one doesn't

drujon ◊ 2008-10-01 18:05	Definitely a 1971 per the turnlights in the bumper and taillight design.
demetrie ◊ 2008-12-26 23:14	Does anyone know if this car is still alive 2day? If it is then who owns this car? -- Last edit: 2009-02-04 08:46:32
truckface ◊ 2009-07-31 15:53	It`s actually not half bad! A little "cartoon-ish", but a nice car.
RAMG8GT ◊ 2010-05-27 17:02	It's a 1971. You can tell by the rear tail lights with the vertical chrome strip running through them. My dad had one back in the '70s.
fleetwood75 ◊ 2010-11-09 22:06	It's DEFINITELY a '71, My Grandparents on my Dad's side had a dark green Fleetwood with a white top and a dark green leather interior that they bought new, In early '73 they traded it for a '73 Fleetwood Brougham D'Elegance that was dark brown with a white top and dark brown velour interior, It also had the standup Caddy wreath & crest emblem on the hood.
fleetwood75 ◊ 2010-11-09 22:09	@demetrie, I seriously doubt this car is still around, You could do a Google Search & find out though.

Nightrider ◊ 2011-04-20 09:50	Somebody please tell me that Les Dunham now burn in hell. Would be extremely nice to rebuilt his "creations" back to stock... -- Last edit: 2011-04-20 09:58:12
bentorolls ◊ 2011-05-19 21:12	This car is owned by a man in Texas,& yes this is a 71' Les Dunham Original

Nightrider ◊ 2011-06-25 20:23	Demetrie wrote You can look him up on Youtube. I really don't want to look on this dumbass. Maybe we should hire an assassin? LOL
fleetwood75 ◊ 2011-10-02 08:09	Saturn Simon wrote It's a 1971 Cadillac, possibly a Fleetwood 60 Special. Yep!!! 1971 Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham.
Jonnie Comet ◊ 2011-10-09 09:25	I think these 'period custom' cars are in themselves classics. You don't see many Dunham cars like this around any more (and he was from New Jersey, not New York, thank you!). When I first saw this film in the cinema I thought this car was cool. I still do. The brownish colour was very typical of the day. I hate it now though! The idea of customising an already-expensive car is still done today-- with the Escalade. The removal of the fender skirts was to evoke the Eldorado. With a 472 mill and big radiator this car would make a great boulevard cruiser AND get out of its own way on the highway. If I could afford the fuel at 9 MPG I would have one today. -- Last edit: 2011-10-09 09:26:31
somename ◊ 2011-11-02 14:15	fleetwood75 wrote Yep!!! 1971 Fleetwood 60 Special Brougham. Right, the steel roof version was dropped after 1970 maiking all of these 71-73 models Fleetwood 60 Special Broughams.

Nightrider ◊ 2011-11-21 07:33	^Should I feel anything positive about person, responsible for creation of these tasteless pimpmobiles?
Gruszku ◊ 2013-04-07 15:00	I think it has pneumatic suspension.
jpts ◊ 2015-03-19 16:19	That car is lovely to own and to have the car done up is a bonus.
jpts ◊ 2015-03-19 16:20	Demetrie wrote Les Dunham is still alive today You can look him up on Youtube. Les Dunham is a genius.
dsl ◊ 2015-03-19 16:43	jpts wrote Les Dunham is a genius. Never met him, so I can't comment. But his cars are shite.
Portacker ◊ 2016-04-30 15:41	I think the word everyone should be useing is "Unique". Les Dunham had a vision of what a luxury car should be, and he created cars that showed his ideas and tastes. -- Last edit: 2016-04-30 15:42:17
