1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible
The Cadillac Eldorado has always been a trend setter. The personal
luxury car market segment that Cadillac created with the Eldorado
was growing. The front wheel drive version was going through its
very first redesign with the 1971-1972 models. It was a completely
new Fleetwood Eldorado not only in design but also in spirit. The
Fleetwood Eldorado was available as a coupe and a luxury
convertible replacing the DeVille convertible series. The "Standard
of the World" was still the luxury leader and the Fleetwood
Eldorado was still unmistakably a Cadillac. The last Eldorado
convertible rolled off the line on April 22nd 1976, the end of the
drop top era for a few bleak years.
Up for auction is a 1976 Cadillac Eldorado convertible showing
41,868 miles, but the true miles are unknown. This car cranks and
runs on 2+2.
Exterior
The exterior presents in nice condition, including the Florentine
Gold Firemist paint and the tan canvas convertible is in excellent
condition. The dramatic profile of the car is accentuated with
decorative wheel covers that feature the Cadillac crest and are
wrapped in 235/75R15 tires. Big chrome still makes an appearance in
the mid 70's and the front bumper is a testament to that. In back,
light bars act as the tail lights and vertical lights on the ends
define Cadillac.
Interior
Leather and plastic in tan contrasts handsomely with the simulated
wood grain inserts on the door panels and the luxury laden door are
finished with a carpeted kick panel delineated by polished trim.
Wide tuck and roll is used on the tan leather split bench seat and
both driver and passenger have electric controls. The rear seat
mirrors the color and material and the tufted leather appears
supple and clean. Up front, a horizontal speedometer is situated at
the end of the steering column while all switchgear and the AM/FM
cassette radio reside in the wood applique' backed mid panel of the
dashboard. The camel carpet below is protected by Cadillac branded
mats.
Drivetrain
Under the hood is a 500ci V8, fairly clean, and rated at 215
horsepower. Topped by a 4-barrel carburetor and mated to a TH425
3-speed automatic transmission, power is kept up front and routed
through 2.73 gears. Power disc brakes are found at all four
wheels.
Undercarriage
Suspension consists of torsion bars up front and a 4 link with coil
springs in the back. Dual exhaust flows through stock style
mufflers.
