ENJOY! As one of the final expressions of Bill Mitchells Tenure as
head of GMs renowned styling studios, a position he held since he
was Harley Earls handpicked successor in 1958, the final big
Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado of the 1970s never fails to draw
attention today. Continuing the basic styling theme introduced for
1971 but updated with prominent blade-type front fenders, quad
rectangular headlamps and other select revisions, the Eldorado was
a huge sales success and stands as a landmark of GM design. Given
its top-of-the-line stature, the Eldorados mechanical
specifications were sophisticated, including a high-torque Cadillac
V-8 engine 425 CI for 1977-78, front-wheel drive (introduced for
1967), 4-wheel disc brakes. Luxury features were many with most
standard. Priced more than $11,000 when new, the 1978 Eldorado
truly marks the end of an era for American automobiles, which were
being rapidly downsized at the time. This 1978 Cadillac Eldorado is
an extremely attractive example from the last model year for these
unqualified American icons. Retaining the original paint finish,
red vinyl rear roof covering and rich red leather upholstery, this
collector-grade Eldorado comes to market with just one prior owner
and 54,233 Actual miles at the time of writing. Power is delivered
by Cadillacs proprietary 425 CI V-8 engine delivering 180
factory-rated SAE net horsepower but more importantly, 320
pounds-feet of torque, moving the Eldorado with authority in
concert with a three-speed automatic transmission and front-wheel
drivetrain. Factory features and options include Climate Control
air conditioning, AM/FM radio, power brakes and steering, power
door locks and windows, power front seats with recline, and
tilt-telescopic steering. Clearly benefiting from proper care and
garage storage, this outstanding 1978 Cadillac Eldorado includes a
full-size spare wheel/tire, roadside jack, and lug wrench, plus the
owners manual and original window sticker for a fabulous overall
package. Freshly detailed, the Eldorado is ready to enjoy. Contact
