Vehicle Description
Top-of-the-line Cadillacs have a special appeal, and this 1985 Cadillac Eldorado delivers everything you want in personal luxury fun, without the top-of-the-line price tag.
Take a look at that angular body. These are the iconic lines of the last of the great cruising Cadillacs. After 1985, the Eldorado coupes shrank to nearly compact car proportions and lost many of Cadillac's distinguished features. So this one is the youngest year you can pick up the last of the genuine Eldorados. These coupes have just the right amount of chrome that cascades down the waterfall grille, and then naturally flows to the front bumpers, spreads to the lower valances and pools on the rear bumper. The perfect compliment to this is the shine of the blue metallic paint with full pin-striping. This one also still has all its great original Cadillac styling cues from the clear lenses in front, to the wire wheels with Caddy's crest logo.
The interior demonstrates what personal luxury is all about. The plush blue leather seating is intact and rivals the best living rooms for comfort. Everybody has their own individual space separated by an armrest, and the front wheel drive layout means a flat floor, where each person has limo-worthy legroom. Everything you'd expect from Cadillac's flagship model comes in this coupe, including the automatic climate control with its air conditioning still blowing cold, power windows, power locks, power seats, cruise control, tilt wheel, and a trip computer. Even the original AM/FM/cassette premium sound system is intact. There are so many adapters out there for modern music players that we think it would be a shame to spoil this unique atmosphere by replacing this very original radio. The driver gets a nifty digital dash readout. There's even a driver information center, which was quite cutting edge because the computer was constantly in contact with Cadillac's "High Technology" engine.
Cadillac's 4.1-liter V8 was cutting edge for its time. It utilized lightweight aluminum construction and fuel injection to give it the kind of brisk acceleration that keeps this coupe worthy of its Eldorado heritage. These cars are designed for all-day comfort even on the highway, and so the motor is mated to a four-speed automatic transmission with overdrive. The feeling on the road is that incomparable Cadillac cloud, thanks to an all-independent suspension with air shocks out back. Four-wheel disc brakes were also standard equipment on the Eldorado, so it has better capabilities than you'd expect in a coupe with such a cushy ride.
These Eldorados are becoming sought-after as they cross the threshold into true classic car territory. This one has big V8 power, a stellar interior, and averaged only about 2,500 miles per year during its lifetime. It's the ultimate affordable collector's Caddy. Call now!!
