    It's Hard Out Here for an Old School Pimp: The Corvorado

    Considering the changing tastes of independent entertainment contractors, pimps of the '70s make today's pimps look like Martha Stewart Living: Rollin' Dirty Edition. Check out customizer Les Dunham's Corvorado, circa 1973. Sure, it looked like an Eldo, but it was a Corvette modified with Cadillac parts. Arguably the first true pimpmobile — in the original sense of the word — the Corvorado is featured in the DVD artwork for the iconic blaxploitation film, "Superfly." Thanks to commenter Mr_Mischif for the tip.
