Don't fool yourself. '80s land yachts are way cooler than people give them credit for. No, they're not as radical and violent as classic muscle cars, but drive around in an old school hot rod for long enough, and you'll start to come around. After a brutal, hot, bumpy ride, the cushy seats and ultra-soft ride will be calling your name. Those of you who already know exactly what makes these cars great are about to turn green with envy when you learn about this 1988 Cadillac Brougham that went for a smoking deal. ‘88 Caddy Gets New Lease On Life EuroAsian Bob, YouTubeEuroasian Bob posted a video about a 1988 Cadillac Brogham that he picked up for cheap. While he doesn't tell us the price he paid, we can infer that he got it for a crazy-good deal considering it wason its way to the crusher in non-running condition. After Bob gives a quick walk around of the car, we can all completely understand why he jumped on the opportunity to take this thing home. Aside from a few cracked plastic accents, the car is absolutely cherry.I won't try to sell you on the looks or performance. While I dig the styling of '80s Cadillacs, I know it's an acquired taste, and you're not setting any land speed records behind the wheel. The 5.0-liter V8under the hood made 140 horsepower, and the car weighed around 4,500 pounds. That's not the point of this type of automobile, though. It's all about comfort.EuroAsian Bob, YouTube Take a look inside one of these cars and you'll get the appeal. Those seats are the kind you can absolutely melt into, and each passenger has enough room to spread out comfortably. These cars are where the phrase "rides like a Cadillac" comes from. It'll float down the road so comfortably, your spine won't even wince at the sight of a pothole.After a brief look at the car, Bob decided to see if he could get it running. The current owners failed to do so after it had sat for six years. The battery was dead, and any fuel that was in the tank has since left the chat. He hooked up a jumper pack and shot some starter fluid into the intake. After confirming that it was running, he decided to load it onto the trailer and take it to its new home. Another One Saved From The Crusher EuroAsian Bob, YouTube Bob immediately sent this car to his friend Tony, who was taken up by this car. While it's good to see it find its way to a good home, it's only natural to feel a bit of jealousy that it didn't land in your garage. The previous owner had the car since 1993 and took great care of it, despite being ready to send it off to the crusher. The potential to fix it and make a really great driver out of it is there. And, again, we have to assume he sold it for an absurdly low price. All of that being said, it just goes to show that great deals on awesome cars are still out there. You just have to know where to look.
