Vehicle Description
Dramatically new styling hit Cadillac showrooms for the 1967 model
year, and the Fleetwood Eldorado Coupe was now showcasing a new
razor-edged, low profile equipped with front-wheel-drive and brisk
handling! This departure of Cadillac tradition was an instant hit
for buyers looking for luxury and performance in one package,
something we find very common today. Considered by automotive
publication Car Life, as "the sort of visually distinctive,
tastefully luxurious, enormously expensive, individualistic
conveyance which characterized the classic era of automobile
design" and a coveted winner of Automobile Quarterly's Design &
Excellence Award, we couldn't agree more! Even Cadillac's own
marketing called it "the world's finest personal car"!
Minimal design changes were made for the 1968 model year, with
front disc brakes becoming standard equipment as well as the
introduction of the larger 472ci OHV V8 engine producing a whopping
375 horsepower and 525 ft. lbs. of torque! This equated to 35 more
hp and 45 ft. lbs. more torque than the previous year. With a
copious amount of standard equipment, these Eldorado's were as
comfortable as they were superior road handling vehicles!
We are proud to offer this 1968 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado Coupe
finished in factory code correct Regal Silver (16) over all
original Black Diamond Cloth/Vinyl interior (411) with Black cross
grain padded vinyl roof. Features include number's matching
original drivetrain, automatic climate control air conditioning
system, power front disc brakes with finned drum rear,
variable-ratio power steering, power windows & locks, 6-way power
seat, AM/FM Stereo radio with power antenna, door edge guards,
3-speed wipers, all Soft-Ray tinted glass, vacuum operated
concealed headlights, interior courtesy lights, remote driver's
side mirror, and so much more! The automatic ride leveling control
system was removed in lieu of manually filled adjustable air shocks
at the rear.
This Cadillac sold new in January 1968 to D.L Lunsford located in
Bessemer City, North Carolina. It would make its way later in life
to new owners in Indiana by March 2008, before finally making it
way to the St. Louis area in late 2017. It has always been garage
kept and well maintained with routine oil changes while in
collector hands. Service since 2018 has included new brake master
cylinder & fluid flush, all new spark plugs, new drive belts, a/c
service, new water pump & fresh coolant, rear axle bearings &
seals, rebuilt carburetor with new floats & choke vacuum module,
and new battery. We invite all interested parties to call with
questions or to schedule an opportunity to view in person. Cars of
this caliber and quality are becoming harder and harder to find
every day! Please call with questions or to schedule an opportunity
to review it in person. We look forward to working with you!
