Vehicle Description
The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado was the end of a legend, and this one
has been kept to deliver all the best vintage style and V8 power
for an affordable price.
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 is still in such complete condition
even as it's approaching its 45th birthday. The lower fenders on
these classics are notorious for falling victim to unseen curbs,
but this one still has all the straight lines and firm creases that
it was given at the Detroit factory. Take a look at the plastic
panels that fill the area between the metal body and the front and
rear marker lights. These wouldn't have survived nearly four
decades without a loving caretaker. The Innsbruck Blue is a great
factory color for a car like this. It has the delicate look you
want in a luxury machine, and it still has a good gloss in the
sunshine. Plus, white full pinstriping package goes with the
whitewall tires and white rub strips. And it all coordinates with
the bright white convertible top for a very thought total
presentation.
With the flip of a switch the top powers down to reveal a full sea
of blue inside. This combines with the exterior blue to remind you
that the best classics love good color coordination. The extra wide
benches have seatbelts for six people, and while some of this has
shown some use over the years, it's complete and comfy presentation
keeps this a quality cruiser. Plus, the interior has the kind of
luxury that keeps them exceptionally desirable today. These are the
features that you would even want on a brand new car, such as power
windows, power locks, power seat, cruise control, tilt steering
wheel, a power seat, and factory air condition (will need servicing
before blowing ideally cold again.) And with everything from the
working courtesy lights, to the smooth dash with wood-like trim are
all show that this Caddy has been treated with respect over the
years.
Cadillac promoted this as the last American convertible. They did
eventually return the ragtops, but they would never get a big V8
like the monstrous 500 cubic-inch motor that's under the hood.
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. The suspension in this car must be experienced. You
would think Cadillacs from this era are referred to as boats
because of their size, but after you drive it, you'll swear it's
because how it floats down the road.
Complete with owner's manual, this legend is big on space, big on
torque, and big on luxury. The only thing small about this Caddy is
the price. Call now!
