Original gold ignition and door/trunk keys Thought of in its prime
as a symbol of those who "made it big" during the go-go 1980s,
Cadillac's Eldorado featured the long hood and short deck styling
found on many other GM vehicles during Bill Mitchell's time as head
stylist. MotoeXotica Classic Cars is pleased to present this 1985
coupe. This particular example was made in June 1985 at GM's
assembly plant in Linden, New Jersey. It has had three owners since
new. The original owner took great care of it from the day he drove
it off the lot until the summer of 1999, when he stopped driving
it. The second owner piloted the car from 1999 until June 2010,
when he was 99 years old and could no longer drive. For the next
nearly eight years, his daughter chauffeured him around in the car.
Dressed in Sandstone (code 56), the car's paint and trim are in
overall excellent condition, with only the most minor blemishes
visible upon close inspection. The car's windows are clear and
intact while the rear window comes with an electric defroster (code
C49). The coupe's slim red taillights and quad headlights are
haze-free and look great. The Eldo's bodywork is straight and solid
and the bumpers fit tightly to the car's body. Its engine bay is
extremely tidy and the car's trunk is immaculate and comes with a
full-size spare tire. This Eldo rolls on Michelin Symmetry
whitewall radials surrounding steel wheels topped by wire wheel
covers (code N91). The tires and wheels are in overall very good
condition. Under the car's hood is a 249 CID HT4100 V-8 engine with
digital electronic fuel injection (code LT8) and 100-amp generator
(code L02). Backing up this motor is a Turbo Hydramatic 325-4L
four-speed automatic transmission with an electronic torque
converter (code M51) and a 3.15 differential (code F57). Driver
convenience features are plentiful - Twilight Sentinel (code T82),
automatic climate control (code C68), cruise control (code K34),
power steering, power four-wheel disc brakes, power windows, power
mirrors, power front seats (code AG2), power locks, electric rear
window defroster (code C49), tilt/telescope steering column (code
N37), power antenna (code U75) and Astro Sunroof (code CF5).
Inside, the car's Medium Beige leather interior (code 692) is in
overall very good order. The front split bench is in excellent
order, as is the matching carpet. There is a small chip in the
windshield at bottom left center.� The car's headliner is very good
condition, as is the two-spoke deluxe steering wheel (code N30).
The inner door panels and instrument panel are in
better-than-average shape and rounding out the interior is a
factory GM Delco-Bose AM/FM stereo (code UU6) with Symphony Sound,
cassette deck, extended range speakers, seek/scan and auto
reverse.��The digital fuel gauge not reading accurately. Cadillac
introduced the eighth generation, front-wheel drive Eldorado in
1979, largely as a�rebadged�variant of the Buick Riviera and
Oldsmobile Toronado. Smaller, more fuel efficient 350 and 368 CID
V-8s replaced the 500 and 425 CID engines. Independent rear
suspension was adopted, helping retain rear-seat and trunk room in
the smaller body. The most notable styling touch was an extreme
notch-back roofline. The Eldorado featured frameless door glass and
the rear quarter windows re-appeared as they did before 1971,
without a thick "B" pillar. The cars were not true hardtops, as the
rear quarter windows were fixed. 1981 was the first year electronic
"digital" instrumentation was an available option. In addition to
the digital electronic climate control that was standard on all
Eldorados, the standard analog speedometer and fuel gauges could be
replaced with digital displays with features displaying gallons of
remaining fuel and approximate range. Another engine was introduced
for 1982; the 4.1L�HT-4100 was an in-house design that mated
cast-iron heads to an aluminum block. Competition to this Cadillac
in 1985 included BMW's 6 Series Coupe, Buick's Riviera, Lincoln's
Continental Mark VII, Mercedes-Benz's 230 CE, Mercury's Grand
Marquis Two-door and Oldsmobile's Toronado. If you're fond of GM's
steeply angled backlight, (so sharp it appears to go past 90
degrees from some angles) or you have an appreciation for mid-80s
