Vehicle Description
The Cadillac Eldorado was redesigned for 1971 to be a longer and
larger car. The idea was to make sure everyone knew this was the
top-dog Caddy that owned the road. Today that feeling continues in
this example because its bright paint, clean lines, loaded
interior, and big V8 continue to command authority everywhere it
arrives.
This is the car that can earn you the white glove treatment, and so
it's great to see a triple-white exterior. It starts with the
factory-correct Cotillion White paint. It has been resprayed later
in life to make sure the good gloss shows off the quality sheet
metal. This joins the taut white vinyl roof and whitewall tires for
an awesome premium cruiser vibe. The clean white style also lets
the brightwork tell its story. The front bumper dips down low like
it's bowing to the waterfall grille. The rear bumper reminds us
that the early 1970s still let these chrome kings hug the car's
form. Plus, one of the coolest design touches is the trim behind
the rear door. It was inspired by the first Eldorado many decades
prior, and it combines with the rear fender skirt to give the rear
an amazingly crisp line all the way to the tail light. It's this
level of detail when new that makes it so important to find such a
well-kept example like this today.
Another reason why we like the all-white style on the outside is
that it makes the red interior almost look like it's radiating from
within. Not only does this look bold, but there is a time capsule
level of preservation here. So it feels like a true premium classic
with nice leather upholstery, plush carpeting, smooth wood-like
trim, and plenty of space to spread out. And there are even nice
details, like the full courtesy lighting package. While this new
Eldorado was larger than the previous generation, it still kept the
personal luxury car attitude. The fold-down armrest, power seat,
tilt steering column, and wraparound dash made sure the driver
always feels like the priority. So it's an easy reach to factory
features like the power windows, power locks, cruise control, AM/FM
stereo, and automatic A/C climate control.
The 500 cubic-inch V8 with a four-barrel carburetor on top is the
big Caddy motor everyone wanted... but it was exclusive to the
Eldorado in 1971. That's why these are always such desirable
cruisers. This powerhouse has an ultra-tidy style that tells you
there has been some careful maintenance, and the way it fires up
reaffirms the feeling of good care. We believe this to be original
to the car based on a partial vin stamp we found on the rear of the
engine block. The three-speed automatic transmission, power
steering, power brakes, front discs, and cruise control are all
about making sure this true classic remains a true cruiser.
This is the kind of Cadillac charm that never goes out of style. So
if you're looking for vintage elegance, this one delivers it from
day one. Call today!!!
