Vehicle Description
This a really pretty Cadillac Eldorado convertible out-fitted in
Firemist Crystal blue, pastel blue vinyl convertible top, with
light blue leather interior and blue carpets & dash. The overall
combination presents very elegantly indeed. This particular
Cadillac was delivered new in California, spent the last 15 years
in Arizona, went to Missouri before coming to Illinois less than 2
years ago. The body on this car is quite straight. Looking under
the hood and trunk is evident of its originality. The car has been
repainted at some stage (same colour) and presents well for driver
quality and use. There are some minor marks, blemishes and chips
here and there from normal use but overall presents shiny and
clean. To make it clear, it is not of any show quality standard but
presents well being consistent overall. The vinyl convertible top
is brand new from 2018 and so is in excellent condition without
fading or sun-damage. The interior of the car is in great
condition, even though the leather does show some signs of age, it
presents with an acceptable level of patina and not coming across
as "too perfect". The door arm-rests have the usual splits in the
vinyl covering which is a shame (check with us if you would like us
to replace) and the faux wood panel inserts are excellent in the
centre of the doors but faded on the outer sections. Carpet is
excellent, headliner good and the dash is perfect without any
cracks. The dash fascia and instrument panel are in good shape with
nice chrome and switch gear. The steering wheel appears very nice
but I have never removed the rim cover in fear that it might be
cracked. Interior features and functions are operational including
electrics - windows (4 side window option), seat, gauges, lights
etc. The A/C needs attention as it is not blowing cold. The clock
keeps its own time. Everything is generally clean and crisp. All
the knobs, centre switches, radio and surrounding bright-work
finishers are in good shape. It is only a shame the factory radio
was replaced at some stage. Exterior chrome and bright work
finishes are all good and present generally well except for the
left front fender nose chrome finisher that is ill-fitting. The
grill is clean and straight. Exterior lights and their lenses are
all good. The car comes with its "parade" roof cover. Mechanically,
the car is good condition and the clean and original presentation
under the bonnet clearly shows that. The engine runs strong and the
trans changes smooth. The front-end feels tight (with new shocks
2019) and power steering light and smooth (new hi-pressure hose
2018). Exhaust is good (new muffler in 2018) and wide whitewall
tyres fitted in 2019. A new master cylinder and brakes serviced
also in 2018. The + or - 70,000 miles is not verifiable but
everything about the car certainly supports it to be a low mileage
example. This is an 8 out of 10 driver example that would make for
a gorgeous "weekender" - one that you could take to your next
Cadillac meet with joy. There are not many left available in this
condition. I drove this car regularly over the 2018 and 2019 summer
and she has been a real blast, enormous fun and with surprisingly,
great reliability with various jaunts to swimming lakes in
Wisconsin. Please take the time to look at the photo link below to
many additional photos where I have endeavored to capture how
pretty this car is.
