One-owner car from San Jose, California, with only 51,926 actual
milesGarage-kept its entire lifeCream Beige exterior (code 59) with
white vinyl roofCream and white interior with leather
upholsteryHigh Technology 4.1L V-8 engine with fuel injection and
3.15 gearingTurbo Hydramatic 200-4R four-speed automatic
transmission with electronic overdriveAir-conditioning, cruise
control, power steering, power brakes, power locks, power windows,
power sideview mirrors and power antenna When GM?s E-body triplets
debuted in 1979, the razor-edged styling was a knock-out, combined
with its long hood and short deck proportions and almost 90? rear
window slant that appeared obtuse from some perspectives. This
example is a one-owner car from California that was lovingly cared
for and garage-kept its entire life, showing just under 52,000
actual miles. Finished in Cream Beige (light yellow) (code 59) with
a white ?sailcloth? vinyl roof, the car?s paint and trim are in
overall excellent condition. There are some minor blemishes visible
on the passenger side door, just below the bodyside molding. The
bodywork is straight and solid, the engine bay is extremely tidy,
the cargo area is in very good order, complete with spare tire and
spare tire cover. The spare tire appears to never have been used.
The car?s chrome bumpers look great and fit tightly to the body.
This personal luxury two-door rolls on Firestone white stripe
radials, size 215/70R15 at every corner. Each wheel is topped by a
wire wheel cover. The tires and wheel covers are all in very good
order. Under the hood is GM?s HT4100 4.1L V-8 engine with fuel
injection. The motor is backed by a Turbo Hydramatic 200-4R
four-speed automatic transmission with electronic overdrive and a
3.15:1 rear end. Driver convenience features include
air-conditioning, cruise control, power steering, power brakes,
power locks, power windows, power sideview mirrors and power
antenna. Inside, the white leather seats are in very good order
with fold-down center armrests and matching inner door panels. Just
as in previous generations, the car?s front-drive provides for an
extremely flat cabin floor, in contrast to the transmission hump or
a pathway for the exhaust. The cream-colored carpet and dashboard
offer a nice contrast to the seats and there?s a white headliner. A
two-spoke cream steering wheel faces the driver while the inner
door panels and dashboard are in very good shape. A column-mounted
shift lever and factory Delco-Bose AM/FM stereo with cassette deck
complete the interior. Independent rear suspension was adopted for
the first time, helping retain rear-seat and trunk room in the
smaller body. The most notable styling touch was an extreme
notchback roofline. The Eldorado ?Biarritz? model featured a unique
stainless-steel roof, similar to the 1957?1958 Eldorado Brougham.
The Eldorado featured frameless door glass, and rear quarter
windows, similar to those from 1967 to 1970, without a thick
B-pillar. The Eldorado and the redesigned 1980 Cadillac Seville
shared front-wheel drive platforms. The Cadillac Trip Computer was
available on the 1979 Eldorado. First offered on the 1978 Cadillac
Seville, it provided electronic digital (LED) readouts for the
speedometer, remaining fuel gallons, clock, and radio. No digital
instrumentation was available for the 1980 Eldorado, apart from the
climate control system. In 1981, full electronic ?digital?
instrumentation was an available option on the Eldorado and
Seville. In addition to the digital electronic climate control that
was standard on all Cadillacs, the standard analog speedometer and
fuel gauges could be replaced with digital displays with features
displaying gallons of remaining fuel and approximate range.
Competition to this Eldorado in 1985 included Buick?s Electra Coupe
and Riviera, Cadillac?s Coupe de Ville, Mercury Grand Marquis and
Oldsmobile?s 98 Coupe and Toronado. Owning an Eldorado during the
1980s was a sign you had arrived; that you had been successful. It
was the pinnacle of the personal-luxury movement. If you?re
