What are the possible things that could make a 1975 cadillac break down? It has the 500 engine with 87K miles?

Its a 75 cadillac eldorado with front wheel drive. I need to take a long trip. (about 6 hours long) And i was wondernig what could possibly go wrong? besides the obvious stuff like blowing a hose or running out of gas of course. ThanksWhat are the possible things that could make a 1975 cadillac break down? It has the 500 engine with 87K miles?Oh, maybe ANYTHING, or nothing. It depends on how well cared for the car is. Have you maintained it properly? The bad thing about an older low mileage car is the inferior (compared to today) materials used in seals, gaskets, etc. Sometimes under more stressed conditions, things start leaking that never leaked before. Older high mileage cars have usually had these things replaced. Take it to a reputable shop, or do it yourself, and go over everything. Pull the brake drums off and check for leaking wheel cylinders. Check belts and hoses for splits and cracks, including the brake lines. Have the wheel bearings packed. Check all of the fluid levels. All in the name of preventative maintence.
