In the opening scene of the 1995 Martin Scorsese film
Casino, a peach suited (with pink shirt, pink tie) Ace Rothstein (played by Robert DeNiro) steps into a Cadillac El Dorado Biarritz and is instantly engulfed in the orange flames of a large car bomb. The movie was based loosely on an actual true-to-life event of real mobster Frank Rosenthal who survives the explosion thanks in part to an extra thick piece of steel placed under the driver's seat, ostensibly to balance the car left/right weight distribution - but you don't find that out till the end of the movie. I'm sorry if I've spoiled that for anyone, but we don't do spoiler alerts here at DT because we enjoy spoiling things - gotta a problem with that, get your own site. If you want to live your very own Ace Rothstein life of chips, chicks and coke, keep reading and start the right way by saving your cash for the other white stuff and pickup this cheap

The singer and songwriter Neil Young made it big in the 1970s, first by helping form the band Buffalo Springfield and later Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young. His signature falsetto vocals and folksy guitar/piano/harmonica/clawhammer accompaniment earned him boat loads of cash and a spot in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. What sort of car does a 30-something performer with loads of cash drive in the late '70s? A 911 Turbo? Nope. BMW 635? Nope. Try this 1978 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz currently owned by Neil Young and currently for sale in San Francisco, CA for $14,950 via craigslist. Tip from Kaibeezy.
