Vehicle Description
This 1973 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible not only possess all the
massive curb appeal responsible for the model to be immortalized in
song and on the screen, but it's also an opulent and well-equipped
cruising machine, with just the right set of features that will
make you want to take it out on the road as often as you can.
1973 was a pretty big year for the Eldorado. Cadillac saw fit to
move it out of their iconic Fleetwood line and re-establish it as
its own series. In the process, it received a facelift that
included the addition of a signature "egg-crate" style front
grille, new front and rear bumpers, a more refined decklid and rear
fenders and re-shaped taillamps. Cadillac's handiwork was a rousing
success, revitalizing sales and leading to the Eldorado's selection
as the official pace car of the Indianapolis 500 that year. Take a
look and you can see what the fuss was about. Sporting a great
Dynasty Red hue on top of those design changes, this Caddy has a
definite sleekness - it's one seriously cool vintage drop top.
Despite its nearly 45 years of life, it's looking great, with
clean, straight chrome bumpers in both front and back, undented
trim and well-fitted body panels, as evidenced by just how smoothly
those sizable doors open and close and how those prominent
stretches of chrome trim on its sides transition from front fender
to door to quarter panel while remaining impressively level. On
those occasions when you're seeking protection from the elements,
the white power convertible top is in impressive condition, raising
and lowering without issue and sporting a noticeably clear glass
window in back. And for those occasions when the top is down, it
comes with a matching red parade boot for a very clean look.
You'll have no problem picturing yourself situated in the driver's
seat, surrounded by this awesome red and white leather interior.
The bench seats in front and back show little evidence of any use
and remain very well padded and comfortable, with a matching fold
down arm rest in front. Check out those door panels - not only do
they match the color pattern of the seating, but the Cadillac
emblems they're sporting are a great detail, matching those found
on the seats. You can't help but notice the generous amount of room
inside here - plenty to seat three in back, which is a good thing,
as you'll have no shortage of willing passengers when you take this
beauty out on the road. Driver and passengers alike will ride in
comfort, as the air conditioning is running nice and strong, and
with the tilt wheel, power seats and windows, it's easy to find
just the right cruising position. Just in front of the stock
Cadillac steering wheel, everything looks great, as well - the
gauges inside the instrument cluster are easily readable through a
clear lens and the dash pad on top is level and split-free.
This vintage convertible runs with confidence-inspiring smoothness.
There's a 500-cubic inch V8 under that lengthy hood and the sizable
engine is bolted to a 3-speed automatic transmission that shifts
with abundant precision to serve notice that this ride will have no
issues serving as your daily driver should you so choose. The power
steering remains nice and tight and, with power brakes on all four
corners, this sizable car comes to a stop in proper order when
called on. It remains in its ideal, low-slung original stance and
sits on a set of 15" stock Cadillac rims, wrapped in Hankook Optimo
tires.
