MrCadillac ◊ 2006-06-26 02:02	C'mon guys, it's not a Cadillac Eldorado ...it's a "pimpmobile", inspired by the Cadillac Eldorado ! "Antp": we need a section for "custom jobs" like this one ! I hate to see it in the "Cadillac" section !

Donington ◊ 2006-08-05 22:46	Looks a lot like the one in Magnum Force -- Last edit: 2006-08-05 22:46:12
Junkman ◊ 2006-08-06 01:19	Les Dunham?

wannajeep ◊ 2007-09-11 09:29	It does look like the one on Magnum Force.
CougarTim ◊ 2008-01-19 02:23	I read somewhere (I think "Car & Driver") that this car was originally a convertible, but the false hardtop was added because it was decided that a pimpmobile wouldn't be a convertible.

Skid ◊ 2009-09-27 08:05	Supposedly they had to be careful not to get the car wet, as the pink foam material that covered the top would dissolve in water.

SixtiesSwing ◊ 2022-12-16 18:47	junkman wrote Les Dunham? Definitely not! Les Dunham actually did some rather amazing designs for the equally amazing prices he charged...this just looks absurd and cheap.
Animatronixx ◊ 2022-12-16 19:33	I think "absurd" was the intended concept. I always regarded this one as a parody of the so-called pimp cars of that era by Les Dunham, ASC/ Wisco, Barris Kustoms, Universal Coach and many other customizers. The Austin Powers “Time Machine” is not a contemporary mid-1970s custom - it was converted for the movie and they ridiculed the already exaggerated styling habits beyond usability. It's meant to be dreadful and they did quite a good job with that, because not even I wholeheartedly like it. Currently Formerly for sale at... a price we aren't supposed to know. Seller wrote Description: House of Kolor Purple Metallic Exterior with Pink/Grey Fur Interior, Faux Gold Oversized Radiator Shell. Style and luxury does not fade even in the ninth generation for this classic model. The Eldorado was made bigger for a comfortable and luxurious ride. So much so that it was able to seat 6 adults rather than the standard 4. This Cadillac was custom built for the 2002 Austin Powers movie, ”Gold Member.” The style and luxury of a Cadillac Eldorado made famous by Austin Powers, sat in by comedy legend Mike Myers and icon Beyonce’ Knowles Carter. The Caddy wears a coat of House of Kolor purple metallic paint and features a faux gold oversized radiator shell. The interior as well as the top is done in either pink or gray fur, with male symbols serving as portholes on the rear sail panels and also on the full wheel covers. Fake side pipes reminiscent of supercharged cars from the late 1920’s and early 1930’s add to the comical appearance of the vehicle. Mechanically, the car is a stock 1976 Cadillac Eldorado. The wide whitewall tires and chrome fender skirts also serve to set the car apart.
