Vehicle Description
OVERVIEW:The 1976 Cadillac Eldorado was the only convertible built
in America at the time. This was also the last factory full
production Cadillac convertible. The 1976 Eldorado convertible
offered the traction of front-wheel drive, the maneuverability of
variable ratio power steering, Automatic Level Control, four-wheel
disc brakes, and an AM/FM Signal Seeking Radio as standard. This
was the finale for the 8.2 litre V8 engine. It was truly the last
of an illustrious breed of the American luxury convertible.The
fully automatic folding fabric roof stowed neatly behind the rear
seat. This ingenious inward folding construction allowed full width
rear seating for three passengers comfortably. The top was
available in seven colors. Supple Sierra grain leather was standard
and available in 11 color combinations. 21 Exterior choices,
thirteen of them were new for the 1976 model year, were
offered.Standard comfort and convenience features included;
Automatic Climate Control, power windows and door locks, AM/FM
Signal Seeking Radio w/automatic power antenna, lamp monitors,
six-way seats, soft-ray glass, three-speed wipers, automatic
parking brake release, quartz digital clock, Automatic Level
Control, power steering, four-wheel disc brakes, and steel belted
radial ply tires. Electronic Fuel Injection was an option offered
for the first time on the Eldorado 8.2 litre V8 engine.The 16-valve
8.2 litre 500 CID OHV V8 was used for the last time in the 1976
model year. The engine now produced 215 hp @ 3,600 rpm with 542 Nm
of peak torque @ 2,000 rpm. Performance was 0-60 mph in 11.4
seconds, 0-100 mph in 37.8 seconds, and had a top speed of 115 mph.
