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
