The Atlanta Showroom is offering this 1989 Cadillac Eldorado. This
clean car fax two owner car has actual mileage and feels very new.
Upscale luxury for Cadillac in 1988 was met with an extensive
restyle, and sales nearly doubled from the previous year, up to
33,210. While the wheelbase, doors, roof, and glass remained
relatively unchanged, new body panels gave the 1988 model a more
identifiable "Eldorado" appearance. Underneath the restyled hood
was Cadillac's new 155 horsepower 4.5 liter V8. A comprehensive
anti-lock braking system, developed by Teves, was newly available.
Longer front fenders held "bladed" tips, and a new grille above the
revamped front bumper. In back, new three-sided tail lamps appeared
along with a new bumper and trunk lid. Bladed 14" aluminum wheels
remained standard, while an optional 15" snowflake-pattern alloy
wheel was included with the Touring Suspension option. The interior
held wider front seat headrests and swing-away door pull handles.
New upholstery patterns, along with shoulder belts for outboard
rear-seat passengers, appeared for both base and Biarritz models,
with the latter bringing back the tufted-button design - last seen
in the 1985 Eldorado Biarritz. A new vinyl roof option, covering
the full roof top, featured a band of body color above the side
door and windows - similar to the style used until 1978. This
replaced the "cabriolet roof" option, which covered the rear half
of the roof, introduced just a year earlier. This 1988 restyle
would be the last, until the model was replaced by an all-new
Eldorado for 1992. With such big changes for Eldorado just a year
earlier, 1989 saw little that was new. The optional automatic
rearview mirror went from an electrically operated mechanical
tilting mechanism to the new electrochromic style, using a clear
fluid filled between the mirror and a thin sheet of glass, which
tints upon activation. A new exterior color, White Diamond, brought
the color choices up to 18. Gone were the 14-inch wheels, as the
previously optional 15-inch "snowflake"-style aluminum wheel,
introduced last year, was made standard for the base Eldorado. A
compact disc player, available only with the Delco Bose Gold Series
music system, was a new option this year, as was reversible floor
mats, and gold-plated ornamentation "Cadillac" grille and trunk
scripts, sail panel ornaments, deck lid engine plaque, trunk lock
cover, tail lamp emblems, and available wire wheel cover wreath and
crest. New standard items include an express-down module for the
driver's window, electronic oil-life indicator, a more powerful
Delco Freedom II battery, a revised factory warranty, and GM's PASS
"Passive Automotive Security System" KEY theft-deterrent system,
which activated the fuel system based upon a coded pellet within
the ignition key. Previously optional items that were now added as
standard equipment included a cassette player with graphic
equalizer, remote fuel filler door release, and a front license
plate mounting. Options include: AC, Cassette player, power brakes,
power seats, wipers, reverse lights, horn, cruise control, hub
caps, power steering, seat belts, power locks, tilt wheel, radial
tires, power windows, alarm system, and leather interior. To view
