Vehicle Description
Very rare Cadillac Eldorado Bicentennial Convertible #105/199 sold
to the public! Only 5,400 actual miles and in superb condition!
Fully loaded from the factory with all available options, these
final production full-size GM convertibles are increasingly hard to
find today! Act quickly! As General Motors eliminated convertibles
from their model line up across the board by 1975, only Cadillac
would be selected for the final convertible offering in 1976. They
would be advertised heavily as the last convertible with an
emphasis on collectability early on. Orders were strong and capped
at 14,000 units in the end. To celebrate the countrys 200th
birthday, the final 200 examples would be made special to
commemorate the occasion. Each would be exactly the same in
presentation, fully loaded with all options, and badged
accordingly! Fittingly, you will find the subtle highlights of red,
white, and blue! Only 199 of the production examples would go on to
owners, as the final #200 would go directly to the GM Heritage
Center to be placed in the permanent museum collection. Many sold
originally at 4-5 times their sticker price! We present #105/199 to
you today with only 5,433 actual miles! Finished in Cotillion White

Bicentennial Convertible For Sale This spectacular example has been
with the Klairmont Kollection since December 1993 where it was
largely preserved with minimal use. It arrived here to be fully
serviced for comfortable road use once again. This included
installing all new radial whitewall tires, new convertible top, air
conditioning service with conversion to R134a refrigerant, and
engine valve cover gaskets, new engine oil/filter, and rear brake
calipers & pads. Just prior to being sold to the Museum, it
received a new radiator, portions of the exhaust system, and new
shocks. With exception to the dash clock, every single component on
this car is 100% functional! The climate control system blows cold
due to a recent service, all power accessories, trunk operation,
factory radio and antenna, convertible top operation, etc! The
original dash, door panels, all window glass (except top glass),
and wonderfully soft leather are in remarkable condition! It has
traveled just 5,433 actual miles! With 1976 being the final year
for this legendary automobile, after which the convertible was no
longer available nor was the 500 cubic inch V8. And in the years
that followed, Cadillacs continued to diminish in size to better
suit the falling displacement of their engines. This is without
question the last great incarnation of this legendary road car.
Complete with original owners manual, this rare and well-kept
original Cadillac will make for an excellent addition to any
collection! The savvy collector should not miss this opportunity!
