Vehicle Description
1975 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
The Cadillac Eldorado has always been a trend setter. The personal
luxury car market segment that Cadillac created with the Eldorado
was growing. The front-wheel drive version was going through its
very first redesign with the 1971-1972 models. It was a completely
new Fleetwood Eldorado not only in design but also in spirit. This
1975 Fleetwood Eldorado was available as a coupe and a luxury
convertible replacing the DeVille convertible series. The "Standard
of the World" was still the luxury leader. The Fleetwood Eldorado
was still unmistakably Cadillac.
For consignment a sizable, luxurious, convenience smattered, long
smooth cruiser piece of massive Detroit iron in this 1975 Eldorado
Model. Front wheel drive (look ma!!... no hump!) sharp angled
design, nice chrome trimmings, near perfect chrome bumpers, leather
interior, all draped in camel tan ready for a night out on the
town, or a cruise up to the clubhouse ready to turn heads in
classic style from 1975.
Exterior
Gas crisis? We don't need no stinking gas crisis, we will build it
even bigger, and allow it to drive on regular gas!!! And this
straight steel slabbed sided car which pays very close attention to
its gaps and pampers its chrome trimmings is definitely going to be
the belle of the ball. A V shaped massive grille with matching hood
atop, dual headlights on either side and cathedral turn signal and
cornering lights at the front and rear edges, you are driving
around in a 3 bedroom apartment on wheels. Trimmings for the wheel
well surrounds, rockers, and a fine trim spear in mid-section with
exceedingly long rear quarter and deck. This car bleeds class. A
brown padded canvas convertible top with a rear glass window,
allows for your potential famous passengers to remain in total
comfort while they are whisked down the superhighways and byways of
the country. Pearl white in beautiful condition covers all these
steel panels, and it is miles deep and very nicely applied. Badging
all looks great, as does chrome which remains in like new condition
throughout, and chromed wire spoked wheels with faux knockoffs are
wrapped in wide whites on all 4 corners.
Interior
A swing of the door and it's a lot like opening a well balanced
safe door! Heavy, but easy to do. On the doors are power controls,
chromed panels, tan stitched leather, vinyl, and deep brown
carpeted lowers for the doors. A peppering of wood applique is also
seen on these door panels. Inside dual ultra wide antique light
sandalwood leather buckets, showing some creases as finely aged
leather tends to do, sport plenty of power adjustments, and are
large enough to accommodate a 3rd front row passenger. These fine
seats are bordered in brown piping to add some contrast and
definition. In back, a wide bench matching the front setup
stretches from side to side. The standard square and rectangle dash
courtesy GM is in front, and has the trappings of a high optioned
car in the form of auto dimming headlights, cruise control, climate
control, AM/FM/Stereo, A/C, power steering, power brakes, and all
very clean. A wood rimmed banjo style rally wheel now replaces the
original and fronts this original looking dash. Brown carpet floods
the floors and is just excellent.
Drivetrain
A 500ci V8 engine fits nicely into the large, very clean, engine
bay. A little patina, but a 4-barrel carburetor which was recently
rebuilt (with receipts) feeds it, and a TH425 automatic
transmission is on back. 2.73 are the gears for the final drive
ratio. All receipts and detailed information are available for your
inspection with regards to the redux and refresh work that was done
to the entire drivetrain in 2015.
Undercarriage
Like new underneath with pristine black surfaces and absolutely no
rust. It looks like it was a frame off restoration; it is that well
detailed. Independent coil springs for the front suspension, and 4
link with coil springs are on back. Power disc brakes for the front
end and power drums for the back.
Drive-Ability
She started with a turn of the key and ran beautifully. A
smooooooth cruise, good tight steering and straight braking. With
the 500 cubes it does not take too much time to get to cruising
speed, and the transmission shifts smoothly on the way there. All
functions were working beautifully save for the power passenger's
seat adjustment, and the switch for the high beams will not allow
them to stay on high beam.
Like a freshly dry cleaned white tuxedo, this pearl white beauty is
an example of steel luxury and styling from 1975 when cars were
built for status and it was measured by the inch. Front wheel
drive, great shape all over, a nice example of big car style, all
buttoned up under the laurel wreath and crest sprung hood ornament,
and brown canvas convertible top, you will feel like a Kennedy!
