Among the myriad of alterations made to the Cadillac lineup for 1961 was a change in approach for the Eldorado. As we learned in our last installment, poor sales successively after 1958 led to a de-emphasized Eldorado model in 1961. GM realized no amount of largesse, pink paint, or fins could save its sales figures. And so for 1961 the model was relegated to a part of the much more popular DeVille line of cars, and was available only in convertible Biarritz format. The model’s toned down 1961 looks were accompanied by modest engineering changes.

2024 Cadillac Lyriq review: setting the stage “With the Cadillac Lyriq, it's great to see a vehicle that doesn’t require spending more cash on options to improve range.”. While the likes of Ford, Hyundai, and Kia were relatively quick to switch to electrification for at least some of their vehicles, others weren’t quite as speedy. Cadillac, for example, held off for some time, announcing the Cadillac Lyriq in 2020 as a 2023 model year vehicle. Early on in the Lyriq’s lifespan, the car was incredibly difficult to get a hold of, and even now, there are supply issues, though those are finally starting to ease up.

Actor Buddy Ebsen, who died at age 95 in 2003, found fame by starring in two of the most popular classic television shows in history: The Beverly Hillbillies (CBS, 1962 to 1971) and Barnaby Jones (CBS, 1973 to 1980). On the Hillbillies, he played former Tennessee country mountain-folk-turned-wealthy Beverly Hills resident Jed Clampett. On Barnaby Jones, he was one of TV's most senior, slyest, health-conscious detectives. Ebsen, however, almost became even more famous for a certain big-screen classic film in which he ultimately did not appear.
