Nice rich color and the grain is nice too. Call me crazy but nowadays straight grain just doesn't impress me anymore. I like stummels with character and aren't boring looking.

This Eldorado turned up today. I wonder if this line was named after the car?

We shall see
For the $$$$$

Nice Eldorado 81.

I would almost bet on it. Grabow named several lines that seem to have been borrowed from automobiles of that era.

Eldorado - Cadillac
Regal - Buick
Riviera - Buick
Starfire - Oldsmobile
Savoy - Plymouth
Belvedere - Plymouth
