Vehicle Description
Here's exactly what you want in a big cruising convertible: a cool
1976 Cadillac Eldorado droptop with a big 500ci V8, great color
combo, a custom/comfy interior, and cold-blowing air conditioning.
So when it's all available at an obtainable price, you know this is
the right opportunity.
1976 shut the door on the traditional American convertible that was
big, roomy, and floated over the road in complete comfort. That
legacy is why a Caddy like this, that's approaching its 45th
birthday, is still in such attractive condition. The
factory-correct Amberlite Firemist has been given a professional
respray later in life, and that means you get a sunshine-friendly
gloss that loves a sunny day cruise. Plus, a Cadillac is great for
brightwork, and this one shows that there has been the right care
here with bumpers that have a mirror-like finish. The whole car is
complete right down to the factory hubcaps w/color-matched inserts.
In fact, you'll really love the details. The end caps are complete
and crisp, and the beige pinstripe is a subtle application that
provides a mid-point color between the paint and light beige roof.
And speaking of the roof, take note of its color.
With the flip of a switch, the top powers down, and you see that
the interior and roof are the same color. So this one offers a
nicely coordinated look no matter if you have the top up or down.
As you look closer, you'll see this is a custom upholstery done
later in life. It has tasteful tan piping and a supple ultraleather
feel. The interior has the kind of luxury that made these Cadillacs
so special when new, and that's exceptionally desirable today.
After all, these are the features that you would even want on a
brand new car, such as power windows, power locks, power seat,
cruise control, and a tilt steering column. There are great classic
details, like the working AM/FM 8-track stereo. But the most
important one in a convertible, the factory air conditioning, has
been upgraded to blow cold with modern R134a.
A Cadillac is a cool cruiser, and there's a lot going on beneath
the metal. Just as this was promoted as the last American
convertible, 1976 was the last year for the monstrous 500
cubic-inch V8 motor. So it's great to have the numbers-matching
engine still under the hood, and this important powerplant is
looking exceptionally stock. Emissions regulations of that era had
taken out some of the horsepower, but this Caddy has no trouble
moving because it still makes about as much torque as a modern V8
Chevy truck! The cruising attitude is heightened by a
smooth-shifting three-speed automatic transmission, power steering,
and power brakes with discs at all four corners - the first and
only year for this feature on Eldorado convertibles. And just as
you'd expect from a Cadillac, the full package is still an easy and
comfortable cruiser today.
This legend is big on space, big on torque, and big on luxury. The
only thing small about this Caddy is the price. Call today!!!
