Vehicle Description
The first generation of front-wheel drive Eldorados were the true
kings of spacious cruising, and a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado like this
is the one to have. After all, it was the only year for the big 500
cubic inch V8 in the 6th generation Eldorado. This low-owner
survivor is presented so nicely with a good shine on the outside
and comfortable A/C in the original interior. And when a premium
cruising coupe is at such a value price, it might not be here long
enough for you to read all the details. So, you better hurry...
The design lines of this generation Eldorado are ones of legend.
It's a true statement of personal luxury with the extra-long hood
that begins a crease line that runs uninterrupted through the
doors, until it reaches the sporty rear kick-up. And the
super-slick rear end was there to let you know the excess of the
tailfin era was over - but this Cadillac still knew how to pay
homage to its history. While you're checking out the rear, take a
look at the bumper. That chrome king is integrated into the design
better than you can even get on a modern Cadillac. And if its
brightwork you like, the front bumper shines just as nicely. You
can see all of these details so well because of the level of care
that has gone into preserving this survivor Caddy. The sheetmetal
looks great, and the doors still shut with authority. On top of
this straight body is what we believe to be the original Cotillion
White factory paint, and although not perfect, it still has plenty
of gloss to highlight every crease, so this Eldorado looks like a
finely pressed suit. The original blue vinyl top is a premium touch
that coordinates nicely with the white finish, and it even gives
you a preview of the interior.
Inside, you'll be amazed at the level of preservation in the
original blue interior. Everything from the wood paneling on the
door panels to the plushness of the carpets have defied the
decades. The driver's seat has been worn in a bit, but quite
frankly, you probably wish you were this complete as you approach
nearly half a century on this earth. Plus, you get the kind of
luxury that made these Cadillacs so special in 1970, and the kind
of options that you would expect in a newer car today. This
includes power windows, power locks, a tilt steering wheel, and the
original AM/FM stereo. You sit behind the original Caddy
three-spoke steering wheel and gaze at a clear gauge package. But
it's not just comfortable for you. The flat floor of the Eldorado
means it really does offer relaxed seating for six. And no matter
how many family or friends are along for the ride, you're going to
love being able to roll down the windows with the touch of a
button, and still remain cool thanks to the factory air
conditioning.
1970 was the first year for the monstrous 500 cubic-inch V8 motor.
And since the generation changed in '71, this makes for a unique
and very desirable powerplant in this car. Because the presentation
has been about authenticity so much already, it should be no
surprise that this is a numbers matching car that's running what is
likely its original Rochester four-barrel carburetor. Best of all,
emissions regulations had not yet robbed Detroit of horsepower, so
you've got an abundance of muscle to move this luxury machine with
ease. There has been plenty of maintenance over the years, which
means this one fires up and drives like a good Caddy should. The
cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and power front disc
brakes.
Complete with owner's manual and maintenance records, this is
complete vintage luxury at an affordable price. Don't let this
special Caddy slip away, call today!
