- Here is the long awaited Cadillac prize offering collage. Grab your popcorn because there's over 30 mins of Cadillacs in order of ascending model year. Even a Cimarron cameo, which we all know was just a chromed up Cavalier. The final clip is from Bob's last show. There's also a surprise at the end of the video for those who make it through the entire thing. If you are enjoying these videos, please consider a small channel donation to cashapp $chrismo757. Be sure to mention your TH-cam name! As always thanks go to the various uploaders of the shows and please excuse variations in video quality and audio as these are mostly digitized VHS video clips. Thank You for watching and be sure to comment your FAVORITE Caddy offered!
Back in the day; owning a Cadillac was a way of saying you have arrived.
In reality, I often heard that a Cadillac could be found in any neighbor, but only in the most exclusive would one find an Imperial.
@@jerrycallender9927 I lived in a blue collar middle class neighborhood and only one neighbor had a Lincoln. None of them had a Cadillac.
@Charles Coderre Well, you're not wrong.
You are so right
Or a lincoln continental
Back when Caddies...looked like Caddies; Not the cheesy pieces of plastic and ugly SUVs they've now morphed into.
Except for that dinky Cimarron, which looked like a souped-up Buick Skylark.
@@johnmanier7968 You're really being too kind; The Skylark looked better.
I couldn’t agree more. I drive a 78 Continental with low miles, and I wouldn’t give it up for some 100k piece of plastic!!
MY LATE GRANDPA HAD CADDYS LIKE THIS 1980S
NICE ONES NOT LIKE THE SUV PLASTICS JUNKS TODAY
Cadillac really lost the beauty though after the 70’s, I’m sorry 80’s caddy’s we’re ok, but the big boaty beauty was gone
When owning a Cadillac meant something. Alas, that time is long gone.
Mm-hm. Back in the 50s, 60s, 70s, 80s, 90s, 2000s and a good portion of the 2010s; owning a Cadillac was a way of saying that you have arrived.
I like how Johnny Olson exclaimed "a new...CADILLAC!!" I think he was more excited than the contestants.
You can never go back, unfortunately in some ways. I am fonder and fonder of these Cadillacs as the model years go back to that '75 / '76 Eldorado. And Johnny Olson was a brilliant announcer who learned his craft in the old school, was fantastic comic relief in the Price is Right showcase skits with the models, and I remember was a brilliant pinch hitter in an episode of Match Game where he filled in briefly until one of the panelists finally appeared. Just an absolutely great sense of humor, and salt-of-the-earth kind of guy by all accounts. It's been 35 years plus since he has passed, and I remember that time; RIP, Johnny!
On "Let's Make a Deal", Jay Stewart was almost as enthusiastic when announcing the prize was a Cadillac.
Use to be a time when "a Cadillac" meant something!
Those Cadillac really identified the American dream in the whole world. I remember in my country people drooling watching these beautiful luxurious cars in the 70's and 80's TV series and movies.
They were rattling TIN CANS, RUST BUCKETS! JUNK! CADDY WAS GREAT WAY EARLIER. NOT THEN
The Cadillac Cimarron was a true piece of JUNK.
A Leroy Brown Machine.
What country did you originally reside ?
@@trainships1795: Yes , total junk!
HAA!! The Cimarron by "Cadillac!!" HILARIOUS! It must have been difficult to look excited about winning one of those.
Basically a chevy cavalier wearing a tuxedo!🤣🤣🤣
I would have told Bob Barker "It's your problem now" if I won it.
Yeah, the 4 cylinders were turds. The later 2.8 V6 was a vast improvement.
I would have yelled to bob Barker I COME ON YOUR SHOW AND YOU INSULT ME
I was thinking the same thing
When luxury meant a soft floaty ride, wide cushy seats, cold a/c, and xl weight and size. Love it.
Still does in many cases!
Not even in 2021 you can build a luxury sedan or suv with rigid suspensions, small uncomfortable seats, no A/C and small dimensions👍
@@ilgwent8061 then u havent driven a ct6 platinum ..may not have the bench seat, but everything else ..
@@supergamer7473 It still does *what* in many cases? Caddies are just cheesy plastic junk & butt-ugly SUVs these days. The "Tech" has been upgraded, but aesthetics are horrid! Sad!
Cadillac is the king of GM
when caddies were real Caddies!!! before they got small and cheezey
6:00
That's not a Cadillac, it's a Cavalier with a fancy grille. We used to call them Cadvaliers 🤣🤣🤣
Lolol😂
1:40, gold 1976 Seville. Cannot believe they gave that away on the Price Is Right. 1st year for the Seville, cannot stress enough how hot/desirable that car was in So Cal at that time. That "box on wheels" look was really hot in the late 70's/early 80's then went out of fashion real quick with the more aero designs of the 80's(think Ford Thunderbird and Taurus)
I owned a 77 Seville, the most expensive American car except for the limo
@@brettcannon74 My father had a 78 Seville.. the expensive computer that ran it kept breaking down and needing replacement.. after the 3rd one went out he gave up on it and parked it in the field and bought an 86 jeep cherokee, which turned out to be even less reliable lol.. He only got 7 years out of the cadillac.. and less than 80 thousand miles! It was a cool and exclusive car in its time, but my mother had a burgundy 78 monte carlo, which was pretty unique looking too, and far more reliable than the seville! If I had my choice today I'd take the monte carlo.. but the seville would be cool to have too.. if there was a way around that damn computer he kept swearing about lol
They were very elegant during that time. My Parents had a 1985 Eldorado. Very classy
It's amazing that just by watching this TPIR Caddie collection you see how the cars have changed over the years. "It's a NEW Chevy Cavalier! Oops, I mean Cadillac Cimarron!" lol!!
"It's a GLORIFIED Chevy Cavalier!"
@@JL-sm6cg That works too, hahaha!
I'll be honest, that was one ugly Caddy.
I felt so sorry for her!!
It also didn't help that TPIR would give away Pontiac 2000 and Chevy Cavaliers in the same show which really shows they are the same turds
WOW, love that "irredescent blue" Eldorado!!! The '76 Seville is nice too, but somehow that classic Eldorado makes me swoon.
When American luxury meant Cadillac. It’s the Cadillac of watches, is the Cadillac of insurance policies, etc. etc.
"Reddddd Wigglers! The Cadillac of worms."
Cadillac is the Rolls-Royce of automobiles.
During the time period from the 1950's to the 2000's owning a Cadillac was a means of saying that you have arrived. Nowadays owning a Cadillac is a means of saying that you're a douchebag.
Amazing to see them all together over the years. Coming from a Cadillac family we always seem to have had one growing up or else my dad would get a Lincoln. Right now we're hanging on for dear life to a 1990 Eldorado it needs work but we want to keep it going lol. I was using it for 3 months while my car was being repaired and it was so interesting to relive how the accessories have changed. NO reminder for seat belt, NO reminder that my lights were on (oops battery died one day), etc. Things like that you appreciate today.
They are junk!! Money pits!
Looks like ppl where thin and cars big, now cars thin and ppl big
So in other words, owning a Cadillac is not that big a deal. Some of these young people may have never been in a Cadillac, let alone own one
My dream car is the 1984 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz convertible 😍
But I’m a huge fan of all of these amazing Cadillacs as well as anytime they give away luxury cars on these 70s & 80s episodes
Personally I like the styling of the 1950's, 60's and early 70's. Nice job with the vid.
"... and California emissions" 🤣
And as the years rolled on, the Caddy's got uglier and uglier, cheaper and cheaper.... the '70s was really their last, classy, great decade.
I agree !
Correct except not cheaper. Today, a tiny 4 cylinder XT4 wears a $50,000 ticket!
Yes so true!!
We can respectfully agree to disagree. The early 2000s were their last era of class. Those Caddies were a thing of beauty.
@@Coupydog No wonder why I've seen old folks driving around Hyundai cars.
I almost cried seeing this remembering how much design used to mean....living and still damn well working art upon equally beautiful wheels. god, so much emotion emulating from her heart when she won that 1974 Cadillac in auburn gold.
NOT REALLY! THESE WERE RATTLING RUST BUCKETS. FALLING APART AND HIGH MAINTENANCE TOO. SO FEW SURVIVED. BECAUSE THEY WERE JUNK, THEY ENDED UP AT THE JUNK YARDS CEMETERY! WHERE THEY BELONGED😤😤😧😧
I like how they all had the "door edge guards" option.
@@captainamericaamerica8090 These cars weren't for frugal people that drove a Honda for a decade because they couldn't afford their mortgage balloon payment.
@@robk9685 These caddys' were MONEY PITS. FOR SUCKERS!! SMART PEOPLE STOPPED BUYING CADDYS WAY BEFORE THESE RUST BUCKETS!😦😦😧😧😣😣😣
@@robk9685 They were Junk! Very few Around. They ended up a the JUNK YARDS. WHERE THEY BELONGED. PEOPLE ARE SO EASILY FOOLED. BY A SHINY NEW CAR! 😂😂😂
Back when owning a Cadillac meant something...not so much anymore.
A few of these clips reminded me of when Kelly Bundy auditioned for a modelling job to promote the new Allante.
Whoever assembled this- thank you! What fun to watch! My aunt had a Coupe De Ville back in the 80s. We used to ride in it all the time as kids not having any clue how special that was! Wish they’d bring it back in its original glory!
Oh, You're welcome.
This video was so cool....wow......when I did a report as college freshman in 1999, on the high expensive winnings of day time game show contestants, confirmed it was actually rare the contestant actually chose the car they won while show was being filmed. The taxes the consumer had to pay was alot of money, oftentimes insurance was expensive for the people having a new beauty expensive Caddy. So they would take the reduced amount of cash, minus a bunch of taxes and then end of yr pay more taxes on the cash winnings as it became earned income....doesn't that suck??? Well, it sure was fun to watch these though..
In 1991 one contestant Bud won a Corvette worth about $35,000 playing 3 Strikes, then won his showcase for total of over $57,000 ( including the Corvette & his showcase won )
Winning a new Cadillac in 1975: WAAAHOOO!!!
Winning a new Cadillac in 2021: ……oh …… ok …
I miss the Bob Barker era of The Price is Right.
Error @ 6:09 of video, but not your error it was GM for making the Cimarron which was a gussied up Cavalier P.O.S. !
You’ll never see land boats like these again. It’s a long gone era for the luxury American car industry.
You'll never see a Cadillac that doesn't look atrocious or like every other cookie cutter clone car ever again either. Sadly, the luxury American car industry is on its way out.
@@classiccarbuff you sir are correct.
The Germans and Japanese killed the American luxury car market. Most people my age aspire to Mercedes, BMW, Audi, and even Lexus. Cadillac is mostly associated with older people, although the new CT-4 V Blackwing ain’t that bad looking.
Back in the days when they gave away real cars, not the cheap Chevy Sparks, or other cheap entry level cars they give away now days
The world turned to shit
Thats true. All they give away is cheap cars these days. The same ones every episode.
I wouldn't be caught dead in a Chevy Spark. Did you ever see a piece of 💩 spark? There's one now! LOL
They should bring them back, the Caddies and Lincolns of old.
Back in the good old days, when they weren’t giving away Chevy Sparks.
True 😅😅😅😅
If I won that Cadillac Cimarron I'd give it back to them.
😂😂😂😂
Most of the big prizes, including cars, are never claimed by the winners. The reason is that the have to pay income tax on the prizes, and that can be up to 50% of the MSRP of the prize. Most winners could not afford it.
If you see a Cadillac in your Showcase, how much would you guess on that Showcase to get within less than $100 of the Price without going over?
You can collect the prize, but you'd have to sell it to pay the taxes. The only thing you couldn't claim was trips because you couldn't sell it to anyone. It's you and someone of your choice, and that's that.
On the UK show Bullseye, apparently they gave you the option of taking the cash equivalent of the prize.
@@dcan911 Interesting...course over there...there are no taxes on game show winnings.......I assume that was for prizes too as much as cash.
"A dream on wheels!"
6:07 A brand new dressed up Chevrolet Cavalier!!
Whoever made this is a genius. This is pure gold!!! Yes, I’m Cadillac lover. I can’t get enough of this.
Well, I made it. The video that is. I'll take genius.
Me to I'm a Cadillac/ lincoln man had my share of luxury
Those Eldorado convertibles are no doubt worth a mint today!
They always gave away cars with few options. The 81 and 82 coupes in the video have the 4.1 v6 credit option
Would love to see a Chevrolet Corvette compilation!
That's coming.
Me too I want to see the Vettes Camaro Z28 and Firebird/ Trans Am Mustang Thunderbird cougar
I'd like to see shows from 1971 with people getting excited about maybe winning a Chevrolet Vega.
@@billolsen4360 Well, if there are any, it won't be from Price can tell you that, since the current version of the show began in 1972. Maybe Let's Make a Deal though.
Holy shit. @4:02 is straight fire. As a Caddy owner this makes me so happy
When that lady looked at the Cimarron. 😂
LOL I never realized they played that disco music during some showcases
The Cadillacs WAS the coach lURUXY of ALL time floating down the road into Heaven every factory options old skool/ New skool
I have been watching this video for 12 minutes and now I want to buy a caddy!
Yup........a 1976 Seville, or '78 Coupe de Ville. Actually looking pretty sharp in 2023!
Whenever they put a Cadillac up there you knew things just got real.
19:24 AM/FM stereo with compact disc and cassette. How charming!
What about the older ones with POWER right mirror, power seats, and AM/FM stereo?
Cadillac man aslo have owned 36 over the yrs started when I was 16 yrs old
Cars like the awful Cimarron and the aluminum garbage engines put in those 80's Cadillacs killed the noble, "standard of the world "
Indeed; The Cimarron was a joke. It's bad enough we were permeated with all of those crappy, cheesy Cavaliers, but then, GM brilliantly decides to morph a Caddy out of those shit boxes. Yikes!!!
@@cardtrix1970 Brand-engineering at its absolute worst. LOL
The ‘70’s Coupe de Ville ROCKED! Bring back the Coupe de Ville ALL ELECTRIC!
This was my childhood back in the late 70s throughout the 80s. God Bless Bob at 97 and the Cadillacs of old!
Of course now that Bob Barker has passed away at the age of 99; he will be sorely missed by many. Bob Barker was a TV grandpa for many kids who were staying home from school due to being sick or if their school district had a teachers in-service as well as if it was summer vacation or during a holiday break. Those kids would turn on the TV and tune into their local CBS station just to see Bob and hear his familiar comforting voice.
I used to watch reruns of classic TPIR on GSN back in the 1990’s. I was about 8 years old and used to love how back them they would present the new cars and the music would come on.
The camera work and zooms amazed me. It’s what made me want to be a camera man today.
Thank-you, so much, for doing this. I, always, loved seeing a luxury car as prizing. I can't wait, to view this. I, too, am thanking you, in advance, Cars n Stuff, for what I'm seeing, on the right of this screen: "Lincolns ONLY...", which I, REALLY, am anxious to view. Lincoln, forever, shall remain my favourite luxury vehicle. Too, I'm guessing Caddies were more easily procured for prizing, judging by the two videos' lengths. Your inclusion, of the "spot" at the video's conclusion was brilliant. P.S. I'm wondering, how TPIR got to use, "Stayin' Alive."
You can keep EVERY Cadillac after 1992 but I'll take a 1992 Fleetwood Brougham Sedan.
You can win a boeing 737!!!! How will you drive that home?? 😆😆
Grandpa owned a 1976 Cadillac Coupe Deville... God that was a beautiful car. Had to sell in 1990 because it was too long to fit in the garage of the new house!!! A DAMNED SHAME!!!
I enjoyed seeing the Cadillac cars from the 1990s and early 2000s. The contestants just don't appear excited enough when the 2007 Cadillacs were brought out. It's almost as if they didn't want to hurt Bob Barker's feelings. Let's be honest, I wouldn't have wanted one of those either.
Wow, I never knew the older full size Caddys had V-6's avaiable? Learn something new everyday. Those must have had a hard time getting out of their own way!
Apparently it only had 125hp, so you're probably right.
80-82 only.
Built by Buick. The 4.1 liter V6.
They were Junk. Heavily marketed in Cali
And the 82 HT4100 V8 put out the same horsepower as the V6 used from Buick
1974....gas prices were up over 40% in one year due to the oil crisis. Combine that with a 27 gallon tank and getting an average of 9 mpg..... Neil Lehr was probably looking to unload these. That's when Americans started looking at Toyota, Honda, and Datsun. Not luxurious in the least but more time between refueling.
Love that Iridescent Silver El Dorado but don't know how I'd parallel park it.
Having to parallel park a land yacht Cadillac would have been a massive pain in the butt.
Idk why I watched this entire video, I guess it's fun to see people get excited over things.
Awesome job, i'm old so i'm only good with the older models so i'll give it my best shot;
1974 Coupe DeVille brown

if anyone takes umbrage with this list tell me why LOL
Love to see a Chevrolet caprice / impala or Honda, you missed the caddy from the 76 showcase salute showcases, April fools, as well as the DJ showcase with Johnny Olson.
The XLR is one of the most beautiful cars of the last 20 years
Back when remote trunk openers & tilt steering wheels were options
I would love to see a Corvette compilation. That is right up there with the Cadillacs and Lincolns they had a show.
This proves how concerned people are with acquiring materialistic things rather than upgrading their spiritual life
Anyone pick up on the "automatic trunk lock" at 2:23?
As a kid I remember my grandfather and my father brought these Cadillacs new omg bring back memories.
My god those Cadillac Allantes were ridiculously priced back in those days lol. Another awesome video!!!
"Driving will NEVER be dreary again!"
0:48 -- Good luck trying to parallel park that land yacht of a beast!
6:04 the absolute worst Cadillac EVER made. lol
Thank you! It's Amazing to see such overwhelming excitement..truly happy times.. how fortunate we really have been in the world.
I don’t understand the numerous stupid comments. The Cadillac has always been and still is the finest product the world is able to manufacture. It sounds like sour grapes.
Biggest joke of a CADILLAC was the cimmaron (Chevy cavalier)
After that was the Catera. It was the Caddy that tried to "zig" at first, but actually zagged.
you got that right ! I owned a 84 Cimm. what a mistake ... I was warned not to be buy...I did sorry to say ....nothing but a deluxe Chevy Cavalier ....
They just put some lURUXY in THAT compact tilt wheel cruise control power seats leather it was $14000 back then from 82-1988 was the last
CIMARRON. Can anyone spell
lighten up !
Even those were being given away on their syndicated versions hosted by the late Dennis James, besides Barker. And the late Tom Kennedy & Doug Davidson.
Love when Bob says, "that is a Cadillac!!".
Now those were Caddys... Would drive by Neil Lear Cadillac in NorthRidge Ca all the time, lived in the area and they would have one out front on a spinning platform.
This story is going to make anyone laugh their ass off, the XLR Cadillac they were showing for the million dollar spectacular, according to a book on TPIR, they had a devil of a time trying to get that out on stage, they finally did, but I doubt they'd do that again!!
I'm sorry but all Cadillacs need whitewall tires!
Indeed...Clark!
Pretty sure my 09 STS-V would look ridiculous with white walls. Now, my 1980 Seville limousine, definitely has to have white walls!
Cadillac vehicles and white wall tires are like salt and pepper. You can't have one without the other!
Hell Yeah!!!!! Watching this I' getting excited like I'm going to win one!
I had a neighbor who bought one of those Cadillac Cimarron junk piles. Needless to say, it was not reliable from new.
Thank you for this video! I have been looking forever for the episode with the older lady winning the Blue Cadillac. She was my teacher in junior high school and we were all excited when she won and I vividly remember her pulling into the school parking lot one morning in that blue Cadillac. If someone could please tell me what episode or date this aired I would greatly appreciate it. It would have been in 1981 or 82 or 83. 🤔😁
What's the time stamp? There's several blue Cadillacs. 9:35 ??
@@carsnstuff1344 yes it starts at 9:28
These cars were not free, taxes had to be paid on them by the winners according to the value of the vehicle .
I'll take the 77 Coupe DeVille
That 1976 Seville....so purdy
Curb Feelers love it
I'm a Cadillac man. Loved this. The silver XLR convertible was my favorite. The reactions were fantastic 👏
Really sadly she sold the XLR. I bet she wishes she kept it.
Back in the good 'ol days when the name Cadillac made people smile and cheer. Enter the 2000's and they threw there entire history and heritage out the window to chase the boring German crap!
Wow! Beautiful classics; even the Cimmarons ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
19:44 DAMN!!!!!
These compilations have been super fun to watch. I'd love to see a mustang video lol
That's actually upcoming, so I hope you're sub'ed.
@@carsnstuff1344 I am now, thanks
America got it
When Cadillac meant something
I remember my very first visit to the United States, arriving in New York and being picked up by my host family from Massachusetts.
Driving on the 8-lane freeways and those cars…..
How can cars be so big and long ?
From then on I fell in love with America, truly the greatest country in the world !
Back to this video: those were the good ole days, when Cadillacs and Lincolns were the standard of luxury.
At least Cadillac and Lincoln should bring back one large sedan, they’ll have their customers.
Cadillac was the top of the Line in Luxury automobiles In my opinion it still is
Those Cadillac cars were well made until they started adding the 4.1 V8 4100 digital V8. That engine was junk. It would leak antifreeze through the block.
A piece of shit i had a 86 sedan Deville short version
This was back when Cadillac's actually looked like Cadillac's. Instead of what GM comes out with in today's time.
Cadillac styling didn't change much from 1977 to 1990....but still classy...except for that Cavalier/Cimmeron pos from the 80s...lol
When they were the standard of the world!
The Cadillacs are fantastic cars, Cadillacs are quite luxurious cars too, they're exellent prizes for the contestants. The Price is Right from the United States of America is an amazing game show as the Spanish version from The Price is Right from the USA with the equivalent name in Spanish language "El Precio Justo" and I love this Spanish game show with the American version style and excellent prizes too, with also great cars like Mercedes, Porsches, Maseratis and even a Ferrari. And the Spanish version of The Price is Right was too expensive like the American The Price is Right. I'm Spaniard from Alicante.
