advertised their Fleetwood Eldorado Convertible for 1976, they
described it as 'The Last Convertible.' This would be the last year
of the convertible for Cadillac as their sporty coupes were
becoming more and more popular. Another reason to cancel the drop
top was the modern roadways and improved stereo system. Highways
were becoming popular and vehicles were traveling much faster.
There was a declining interest in the drop tops on the turnpikes
and other major arteries. Stereo systems were improving, and the
windy air hindered its appeal. As a result, the drop tops were a
declining commodity in Cadillac's eye. The Fleetwood Eldorado
Convertible for 1976 was the only convertible being produced by the
big-three in Detroit. The costs of creating these vehicles in such
low quantities was creating a financial drain on Cadillac. For
1976, Cadillac offered nearly every available option as standard on
the Eldorado Convertible. This was the vehicles sixth year in this
design and a re-design was on the horizon. The car had seating for
four in its massive 224.1 length frame. The car was large,
luxurious and very heavy, weighing over 2.5-tons. The engine, too,
was large, displacing 500 cubic-inches and powering the front
wheels. Base price for the convertible was $11,049. A massive 500
cubic-inch V8 engine capable of producing 400 horsepower was
offered exclusively on the Eldorado from 1970 through 1975.
Thereafter, it was standard on all full-size Cadillac's. GM
redesigned its full-size cars in 1971, with the new design lasting
until 1975. The Eldorado was again offered as a convertible with
fender skirts. The opera window design was all new and would prove
to be very popular, indicated by its imitation by almost every
domestic manufacturer. The opera window was a fixed rear side
window surrounded by a vinyl roof. Near the close of the 1970's,
many marques were decreasing the size of their cars. The Eldorado
and Toronado continued to remain large and luxurious. In 1979 the
Eldorado decreased in size and now sat atop a chassis which it
shared with the Buick Riviera and the Toronado. Due to increasing
oil prices and stricter government regulations, the engines began
to decrease in size as well. We sell and ship worldwide
