Cadillac Eldorado 10 wheels Technicum

The picture to hit my friend DD, we found little on the Internet.

Lot of conflicting information affecting the vehicle out of the ordinary. It is often attributed to Franco Sbarro wrongly. SixMania.fr has had confirmation of Franco Sbarro himself.

In reality, it was built in 1975 by Willscheidt Automobile Garage in Lohmar, specializing in US vehicles ( http://www.rsw.de/ ). Include their logo on the back of the Cadillac Eldorado in some photos. Their client was the School of Engineers of Biel in Switzerland, le Technicum ( https://www.ti.bfh.ch/fr.html ).

The vehicle was designed to be a rolling laboratory to measure the friction of the tires in different load conditions for the engineering department of the automobile Techicum. In the manner of Michelin Centipede.

So much for the small basic story. We do not know how the Cadillac was used, or how long it was used in school.

What we know, that one day she found herself in the parking lot of the KLC garage Lohmar and was put up for sale on eBay.

This is where my friend qu'interviens DD (who do not wish to be quoted). He bought the Cadillac in 10 wheels and repatriates in France. Today, she is at rest in a garage, it dry.

She always rolls, which was good because it took the ride on a trailer to bring it back. The operation was complicated, but it went well.

I came to take some pictures of details to make it enjoy the strange car enthusiasts, As usual.

Your servant before the Cadillac Eldorado, DD thank you for the photo 🙂
