Vehicle Description
The 1955 Cadillac Eldorado was one of the more renowned luxury cars
coming out of Detroit. These cars remainhighly sought after by
collectors and enthusiasts nearly 70 years later! . . . The 1955
Eldorado featured the first multi-carburetion setup offered on an
overhead-valve Cadillac engine - a twin four-barrel carburetor
setup. This combination bumped up the Cadillac 331-cid V-8 used in
all lines from 250 hp to 270 hp (the Eldorado's standard 270-hp
engine was optional in all other Cadillac models). Each Eldorado
was also fitted with Sabre-spoke wheels, the industry's first
cast-aluminum wheels. To give the Eldorado a more unique appearance
for 1955, Cadillac styled it with its own set of tailfins (another
first). An Eldorado-only rear bumper complemented the model's
unique fins. A total of 3950 Eldorados were built for the 1955
model year at a base price of $6,286.. . . This is a mostly
original California car with amazing documentation to include the
original dealer sales receipt, dealer to owner paperwork and
general receipts. Among the paper work is a thank you card nothing
that Audie Murphy, famous actor from the 1950s, rode in the car
during a parade!. . . The motor was completely rebuilt by Mastertec
in Salt Lake City, UT. The transmission was rebuilt at the same
time. The power convertible top pump and hoses were replaced at
some point in its history. The soft top was also replaced and is in
very good condition.. . . The brakes and wheel cylinders are new
and the Coker Tires have less than 100 miles of wear. The car
received a repaint at some point and shows very well. The odometer
shows 34,438 miles.. . . This wonderful 1955 Cadillac Eldorado has
been well cared for and is an excellent addition to any garage or
collection the world over!Goddess Gold paint with Black and Cream
