are pleased to present this 1974 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible!
This �74 Eldo has covered just 25,480 miles over the course of its
44 year life. As expected from such a low mileage car, it is in
absolutely tremendous condition. This car has been owned by a
friend of ours, the second owner, here in Chicago for twenty years,
and stored in a heated garage right in the heart of downtown
Chicago. It has been serviced and detailed here at our shop, Albany
Auto, for quite a few years now. The car has actually been in the
Chicago area since new, having been delivered new to Park Ridge,
IL. No worries though, this car has always been garaged and the
condition of the undercarriage is extremely impressive. Having
picked the car up on a sunny day and driven it for the first time
through downtown and along Lake Shore Drive, the first time behind
the wheel of this car was a memorable one. I've driven many, many
interesting cars from all different corners of the automotive
universe and nothing, and I mean nothing, garners attention,
smiles, and photos quite like a bright yellow and white drop-top
Eldorado. With the top down and a good polishing, this car is
nothing short of a spotlight on wheels. Considering the
time-capsule-like state of the unrestored interior and the
rust-free undercarriage, it's clear that this car has been
extremely well-taken-care-of throughout those 44 years. We've been
having an absolute blast with the car and have been driving it
routinely. There's really nothing to knock on this car; it runs and
drives phenomenally well, the mint-condition interior is as
comfortable as could be, and the car looks fantastic from every
angle. Exterior: First off, paint. The car was repainted in the
correct Apollo Yellow here at our shop, Albany Auto Chicago, ten
years ago. Paint was done to an extremely high standard; Albany
Auto is Chicago's #1 body shop according to Yelp, and does
absolutely tremendous paintwork. Although paint was done ten years
ago, it truly looks as though it was painted yesterday. There is
not a single chip on this car and we mean it. Not at the lowest
corners of the skirts, not on the under "lip" of the hood, not a
single chip, scratch, or blemish. You could pick this car up and
drive it straight to a show. Chrome is equally as mint, and really
makes this car a head-turner. Chrome is mirror-like everywhere -
bumpers, trim, logos, etc. White convertible top is in excellent
shape, with no stains, tears, or discoloring. The body is also in
excellent shape, with no dings whatsoever. All doors and body
panels open and close with ease. Glass and light lenses are all
clear and crack-free throughout. Wheels are excellent, with no
damage or curb rash. Tires are American Classic whitewalls, with
the DOT number indicating they're from 2014. Tread depth is 11/32"
at all four corners, which is extremely close to new, as new tires
tend to be 12/32". Interior: Much like the rest of the car, the
interior is time-capsule-quality. White Sierra Grain leather is
excellent throughout and the quality of the interior materials is
very evident. Seats are in great shape, with no cracks, tears,
burst seams, or scuffs. Door panels are excellent, with no
kicked-open markings, no armrest discoloration, and no signs of
wear really. There is absolutely no fading or damage throughout the
interior. Wooden dash panels with engraved designs show as-new, as
does the bla
