Vehicle Description
Worldwide Vintage Autos is pleased to present this 1976 Cadillac El
Dorado. The last of the American boat convertibles!
HISTORY
The Eldorado was radically redesigned in 1967 to capitalize on the
era's burgeoning�personal luxury car�market. Promoted as a
"personal" Cadillac, it shared the�E-body�with the
second-generation�Buick Riviera�and the�Oldsmobile Toronado, which
had been introduced the previous year. To enhance its
distinctiveness, Cadillac adopted the Toronado's�front-wheel
drive�Unified Powerplant Package, adapted to a standard�Cadillac
429 V8�coupled to a�Turbo-Hydramatic 425�automatic transmission.
Based on the Turbo-Hydramatic 400, the THM425 placed the�torque
converter�next to the�planetary gearbox, which it drove through a
metal, motorcycle-style�roller chain.�Disc brakes�were optional,
and new standard safety equipment included an energy absorbing
steering column and generously padded instrument panel.�The�Unified
Powerplant Package�was later shared with the�GMC Motorhome�starting
in 1972.
The new Eldorado was a great departure from the previous
generation, which had become little more than a dressed-up version
of Cadillac's�De Ville. Its crisp styling, initiated by GM styling
chief�Bill Mitchell, was distinctive and unique, more angular than
the streamlined Riviera and Toronado. This was the only production
Cadillac to be equipped with concealed headlights behind vacuum
operated doors. SOURCE: WIKIPEDIA
