This particular example was treated to a body-off restoration in 1997 and in 2000 , a new owner rebuilt the engine and transmission and replaced the top, tiers, socks and wiring at a cost of $27,500. It has been driven less than 3,500 miles since then and remains in impeccable condition. Come with full documentation of all mechanical work performed since 1997.?The Cadillac Eldorado was introduced in 1953 to commemorate Cadillac's golden anniversary, and the name, appropriately enough, means "the gilded one" in Spanish. Those first Eldorados featured GM's first wraparound windshield, lowered ride height, every option Cadillac offered and a special hard parade boot for the convertible top. The latter came in handy as a seat for the honoree of a ticker take parade, or the President-elect of the United States for that matter, considering that Dwight Eisenhower was driven to his inauguration in an Alpine White Eldorado on January 30, 1953.Until 1955 all Eldorado were convertibles, but a hardtop coupe was added for 1956. To differentiate, the hardtop was named the Eldorado Seville, while the convertible was known as the Eldorado Biarritz. All Eldorado models since 1955 could be visually distinguished from other Caddies by their "rocket" tail fins. Naturally, a top of the line Cadillac like this one came very well-equipped. Power steering, brakes, windows, and seat were standard. The compression of the 365 V8 was raised for 1957, but power actually dropped a bit because the formerly standard dual quads were made optional.
