David Freiburger has been in automotive enthusiast media for decades. He helmed Petersen’s 4-Wheel & Off-Road, Car Craft, and Hot Rod, where he became most well-known as the co-host of Roadkill on YouTube alongside Hot Rod Staff Editor Mike Finnegan. Roadkill‘s run ended late last year, so I wanted to catch up and see what Freiburger has planned for the future. We met for lunch in Burbank and then visited his home garage to see some of his stash of hot rod parts and current projects.

For decades, the Eldorado packed quintessential Cadillac panache into one stylish, two-door package. From the 1950s era of big fins and chrome to the magnificent 1967–70 model, which arguably had the brand’s best taillights, Eldorado was the Cadillac. The final generation of Cadillac’s flagship coupe, which lasted from 1992 to 2002, gave it a handsome design with front-wheel-drive V-8 power, a trend that had been in place since that gorgeous 1967 model switched from rear-wheel drive.

It’s also the start of convertible season, when temperatures are conducive to top-down driving without wind chill threatening to turn ears, noses, and other appendages into icicles. We cracked open our valuation data to see what kind of warm-weather cruiser we could buy for less than $50,000.

Compact crossovers are among the biggest sellers in America—some of them are right in the sales fight with full-size pickup trucks. To meet buyers’ needs, they must be affordable, efficient, and work as well on the weekend as they do on the weekday commute.
