Vehicle Description
Eldorado convertibles have always been something special, and this
stunning 1995 Cadillac Eldorado is one of the most highly-sought of
them all. With only a handful built, it's a modern luxury
convertible with all the expected features, plus that thundering
Northstar V8 that makes it feel far more sporting than you'd
expect.
If you're going to cause a stir, you may as well do it in a cool
Calypso Green ragtop. It seems wrong to call this a "ragtop,"
simply because it's so beautifully finished. From the factory, it's
like Cadillac had something to prove, so these cars were typically
extremely well made and you can certainly tell the difference in
the paint. For your $45,000 or so 1995 dollars, you got a
spectacular, deep, rich paint job that people will ask you about at
stop lights because it seems to appeal to everyone in a very big
way. Then there's the rakish look of the drop-top Eldorado which
completely cures the coupe's awkward window treatment and
garden-variety fastback roofline. And honestly, there are so few of
these around that EVERYONE is going to want to know more about it.
Fortunately, this outstanding example is a textbook lesson on how
to take care of a car. It definitely lives up to the flashy yet
elegant look of its ancestors.
Deeply luxurious tan leather seats are every bit as comfortable as
they are inviting. Your first temptation is to just run your
fingers over those tan hides, and you won't be disappointed.
They're also extremely well preserved with no signs of long days
baking in the sun. Sure, there are a few comfort marks on the
driver's seat, but the leather remains soft and extremely supple.
Every feature Cadillac could imagine in 1995 is included, with
power assists for all the usual pieces. The convertible conversion
is OEM in every way, offering 1-touch convenience and remarkable
engineering that stows the heavily insulated top (complete with
heated glass rear window!) under a matching tan boot, very much the
way the factory would have done it. Better still, there's a
full-width back seat and a trunk that is still usable as a trunk
for long weekends. The structure is rock-solid, the top mechanism
works flawlessly, and yes, the 45,486 miles shown are
authentic.
Cadillac's renaissance was driven by horsepower, specifically the
remarkable 32-valve Northstar V8. Cranking out a very robust 300
horsepower, this luxury convertible has moves that will surprise
the guy in the Mustang GT next to you, but is happy to burble away
on long highway slogs with nary a whisper. It looks impressive
under the hood with those big silver valve covers and matching
engine cover, and that was entirely the point. It looks like money
and drives like it should. The 4-speed automatic gearbox snaps off
rifle-quick shifts when you've got your foot in it, but is seamless
when you're going gentle. It has been properly serviced, so there
are no worries about its mechanical condition, and by 1995, the
engine was all but perfected, delivering impressive reliability and
economy. The suspension is all-independent, 4-wheel disc brakes
offer powerful stopping, and those flashy chrome alloy wheels
wearing 225/60/16 Vogue whitewalls look right on the shiny
Eldo.
Nicely preserved and very unusual, this is a sure-bet future
collectable that remains a blast to drive. Call today!
