4-Wheel Independent Suspension
4-Wheel Disc Brakes

THE CADILLAC ELDORADO
When Cadillac announced that 1976 would be the last year of the Convertible Cadillacs, there was an instant increase in demand, and production went up by 156% compared to the year before. The Convertible was reintroduced in 1984, but it never became the same automotive powerhouse as the final year of the original Eldorado Convertibles.
The perfect long-hood/short deck proportions belie the Eldorado's 224-inch length, and under the car's massive hood is an equally-massive 500ci V-8 that powers the last year Cadillac Convertibles. GM's innovative front-wheel drive system, which paired a classic Hydra-Matic TH400 transmission with a planetary gearbox, turned out to be sturdy enough to drive the 12,500lb GMC Motorhome of 1973-1978.
THE MOTORCAR OFFERED
An iconic '70s design combined with a massive power plant, the "time-capsule" Cadillac offered here is an extremely original and fastidiously well-kept example of the final year of the Eldorado Convertible. Produced at the Detroit-based Cadillac plant in April of 1976, the car has covered just 2,125 miles from new at the time of cataloguing and remains in factory original condition inside and out. The Eldorado joined the consignor's collection about 5 years ago, at which time it had just 746 miles on the odometer. The Cadillac is said to have remained with the original owner up until around that time. The car's original Greenbrier Firemist exterior color presents beautifully today, as does the white interior and green carpets. The impressive history file accompanying the sale of the car contains the original window sticker, owner's manuals, convertible top cover and parade boot, and the original keys.
Highly optioned and luxurious in every way, this spectacular survivor Cadillac Eldorado could possibly be the lowest mile example in existence, and the exciting livery makes it stand out even more. Undoubtedly, this is an excellent chance to acquire one of the very best examples of an iconic American 1970s model.
