Vehicle Description
There are a few cars that thoroughly epitomize automotive elegance
This luxurious 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible easily falls into
that category. With only 38,629 actual miles, this fully-loaded
two-door classic is almost completely original, a rarity for a
40-year-old car in this day and age. If you're looking for personal
luxury with the exhilaration of top-down driving, you've found the
right car. So let's see what it's like to ride in style.
You can easily get lost in the depth of the outside appearance of
this Caddy. The factory finish is a slick, vibrant green hue known
as Cadillac Greenbrier Firemist Metallic. It's a color that acquits
itself extremely well to a larger car like this, amply showcasing
the automobile's sleek, streamlined body lines. There are no
obvious signs of a re-spray and no hard tape lines, so it's
believed that this is all original paint, and although not perfect,
it shows very well. Of course, the exterior is further punctuated
by nice, big stylishly-crafted chrome bumpers and a full complement
of peripheral trim, signature features of the Cadillac brand for
generations. The vinyl bumper fillers are intact, and not all
cracked and broken as is commonplace on many of these cars. The
power convertible top is solid white and matches the green finish
extremely well. Actually, it would be hard to imagine two colors
that work better together. The top has a couple of small tears, but
opens and closes with the flick of a switch. The factory Cadillac
hubcaps are super clean and enhanced by the prominent whitewalls
that adorn a set of nearly-new 15" radials.
Climbing inside, you'll immediately feel yourself enveloped in
plush white Sierra grain leather upholstery. These spacious seats
are as comfortable as your favorite living room recliner, so just
make yourself at home. The interior is in overall good shape except
for a little minor wear here and there. The dash pad is in great
condition, as is are the controls and the faces of all the gauges
and instruments. The interior looks relatively original except for
the carpet, which looks to have been replaced. Of course, this baby
is loaded with options like A/C, power windows, locks, and seat.
She has just about everything you could order back then. Power
everything, plus an aftermarket AM/FM radio and CD player stored
neatly in the glove box.
This Caddy is powered by a massive 500 cubic inch V8 engine that
runs great and doesn't flinch at the notion of carrying this big
car down the interstate at cruising speed. This motor has a
reputation for reliability and is amazingly responsive upon
acceleration. The power plant is backed up by a sturdy three-speed
TH 425 transmission that shifts flawlessly. Put this car on a lift
and you'll get up close and personal with a meticulously-engineered
suspension system that delivers one of the smoothest rides you
could ever imagine. With torsion bars up front and a coil spring
set-up in back, this car handles like a dream and floats down the
highway like you're riding on a cloud. Add four-wheel disc brakes
and you have a driving experience that combines safety and
comfort.
With American-made convertibles being phased out of production at
the time, the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was an instant
collectible as soon as it rolled off the assembly line. Here's your
chance to own one. Call today!
