SEASON 03: EPISODE 16
Maserati 3500GT Will Make You Fall In Love
We're all affected differently. Some people fall in love because their dad or uncle had one. Others fall in love out of necessity, constant breakdowns requiring them to work on their car. For Mr. Frank Mandarano a tour through the Maserati factory in the '60s was enough for him to be smitten. He bought his first Maserati a few years later, a red 3500GT, which promptly broke the day after he bought it.

Back in the early 80’s, I went to college in Michigan. One of my new found friends told me his dad was a doctor. So being a young smart ass, I said “bet he drives a white ’76 Eldorado Convertible with a red leather interior”. His jaw hit the ground and responded “how’d you know that?”. It was hilarious.
Not psychic, was just stereotyping.

I enjoyed the video but got distracted thinking he should be wearing a white suit and cowboy hat while driving. Also, the car needs a set of steer horns on the hood.

Grrrr .. drop the Steer Horn’s and the white suit stereotype when it comes to Caddy’s [ been watching a few too many ” As Time Goes By ” episodes perhaps ? ]

Suffice it to say all kinds from Presley to Neil Young to no small number of 1\%er Bikers drove and still do drive Caddy’s

I’ve never heard of a tv show named “As Time Goes By.” When I saw that video I was thinking of Boss Hogg.

Was not even going to watch this video.. actually was a little disappointed when i saw it was an old Eldorado. However once I pressed the play button it was a story like any other that Petrolicious makes us aware of.. The relationship of man and machine is the same if its a 25 million dollar Ferrari or in this case, the everyday mans trophy of opulence the good ole Eldorado. Nice choice to do a story on this pair. ( Owner + Automobile ).

Really, really cool!

I just found two early 70’s caddies for sale near my neighborhood (they are very very rare around here), but besides being expensive, I think I would have a lot of problema trying to manouver it in normal Portuguese roads (made for more “normal” cars).

Lots of love in this film!

Nice sountrack too!

Thanks Petrolicious!
