FOR 1967-70 DESIGN BEFORE 1971 RESTYLING As one of the finest
expressions of Bill Mitchell's tenure as head of GM Styling, the
original 1967-70 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado design remains one of
the crowning achievements of his career as Harley Earl's handpicked
successor. Long, low, plush, and powerful, these sophisticated road
cars exemplified the emerging "personal luxury" market segment when
and remain historic as Cadillac's first-ever front-drive production
model.For 1970, the Eldorado exclusively featured the newly upsized
500 cubic-inch, 400-horsepower development of Cadillac's
proprietary V-8 engine the largest automobile engine in America.
Only a discreet '8.2 Litre' badge, placed to the left side of the
Eldorado's redesigned grille, tastefully announced the new engine
specification. New blade-style rear fenders and taillamps, plus
many other design cues, delivered a fresh and athletic look. Buyers
agreed, purchasing nearly 24,000 Eldorados for 1970 a year that
included new all-time record production at Cadillac, achieved in
spite of GM-wide labor issues. Exceptionally original throughout,
this wonderfully preserved 1970 Cadillac Fleetwood Eldorado is a
documented two-owner car from new. Specially ordered from Cullerton
Cadillac Co. by a resident of La Grange, Illinois on March 7, 1970,
the Eldorado was assembled and sold just a few weeks later to the
original owner on March 31, 1970. It was obviously a pride and joy
of the original owner, who maintained and preserved his Eldorado in
fine original order until April 30, 2007, when the second owner
acquired it. Retaining the all original Patina Silver paint finish,
this special Eldorado is now offered in collector-grade condition
with just 26k original miles. Other outstanding features include
the original Blue leather interior and Blue vinyl roof covering.
Per the original Car Invoice from Cullerton Cadillac, the
Eldorado?s other features and options included power brakes and
steering, power windows, Soft Ray tinted glass, door guards, AM/FM
Stereo radio, air conditioning, a 6-way power-adjustable front
seat, power door locks, Twilight Sentinel, and more. Desirable
upgrades include an updated, retro-appearing Custom Autosound
digital stereo radio and newly fitted stainless steel dual exhaust
system.Exceptional documentation includes the original title, order
form, dealer invoice, dealer MSRP copy, owner's manual, a radio
manual, and a May 1970-dated letter from the Cadillac Chicago Zone
manager to the original owner, plus the April 30, 2007-dated bill
of sale from the original owner to the second owner. An
exceptionally original and collector-grade example of one of the
high points in the Cadillac Eldorado legacy, this beautifully
preserved, low-mile example from 1970 is ready to own, collect, and
