Vehicle Description
Available now is a beautiful 1975 Cadillac Eldorado 2 door coupe
dressed in all white. This is a well kept Cadillac featuring the
8.2L 500ci V8 engine mated to an automatic transmission. The
interior the Monticello Velour option finished in Crimson. Along
with the large power plant in this car, it also features power
steering, power brakes, and air conditioning. Cadillac's bold moves
during an economic slump in 1975 improved sales over 1974. The
chief achievement was the new Seville, a Nova-sized sedan notable
for its luxury fittings and hefty $12,479 price tag. The Eldorado,
meanwhile, continued to be successful with 44,752 sold in 1975. The
vast majority were coupes, and Cadillac announced that 1976 would
be the last year for the vast soft top Eldorado convertible. The
1975 Eldorado lost its rear fender skirts, the grille became a bold
egg-crate design, and the rear quarter windows were enlarged and
extended down to the rear fender line. Parking and turn signals
were relocated to the front bumper. Despite the high-energy
ignition and optional fuel injection instead of a 4-barrel
carburetor, the 500 cid V8 was quoted as a dismal 190 net
horsepower for 1975. The Eldorado's Turbo Hydra-Matic transmission
still featured a side-by-side setup with the engine, and a unique
internal chain drive. Front suspension was by torsion bar with rear
coil springs and a self-leveling option. The Custom Cabriolet
package continued for the Eldorado Coupe, with a halo half vinyl
roof that featured a chrome bar across the top. Behind it was
padded vinyl and ahead of it was a sunroof, set in the painted
roof. The 1975 Eldorado was available with an optional leather
interior (standard on the convertible) and a bench front seat with
folding center armrest. Automatic climate control was now standard,
along with power door locks, a 6-way power adjustable seat, an
AM/FM stereo radio, and steel-belted radial tires. Popular options
included automatic leveling, padded vinyl roof, power sunroof,
tilt/telescopic steering column, remote trunk release, rear window
defogger, AM/FM stereo with 8-track, cruise control, tinted glass,
heated front seats, and automatic headlight dimmer. Cadillac
climbed to 9th place in the U.S. market, ahead of Chrysler, AMC,
Lincoln, and Imperial. Chrysler finally gave up on Imperial this
year, canceling a marque that dated back to 1927.
