Ooops, looks like they were hydraulic, not electric.

I wonder.... If he had put in a bigger pump could he have boosted it off the ground? It would have been a solid landing.

Caddy's V8-6-4 from the early 80's. Technology wasn't up to the task then, but now I understand there are V8 engines that "power down" to fewer cylinders automatically based upon load, acceleration demands, etc. But the 80's edition? A failure...like the Cimarron.
