Super Fly Dert

 

    This is my first "Derty-Wood Movie Star Car Salute". This custom 1971 Cadillac Eldorado Starred in the famous blaxploitation  film Super Fly directed by Gordon Parks, Jr. . Son of Director Gordon Parks who directed Shaft . The awesome soundtrack was composed by: Curtis Mayfield. I love old Cadillacs, there's just something so perfectly Derty about them that screams "O.G. Ghetto Pimp". It was noted that this car sparked the interests of many 70's pimps & drug dealers to customize their own cars into what we know today as a Pimpmobile . So I rate this car 10 out of 10 keys of coke.

    One of my favorite quotes from the movie: "You gonna give all this up? 8 track stereo, color T.V. in every room, and can snort a half a piece of dope a day... That's the american dream $*&@%# "
  
     Another famous musician: Isaac Hayes actually owned a 72 Cadillac Eldorado that was heavily customized and trimmed in real 14k gold, until the I.R.S. repossessed it during rough times. Link: http://www.car-nection.com/yann/dbas_txt/Starcar1.htm
