Vehicle Description
Large original V8, spacious cabin, and darning angular styling -
what was once the top luxury vehicle for the '60s is now a vintage
cruiser with all the right flair. So when this 1969 Cadillac
Eldorado is also so affordable, it's time to take notice.
The design lines of the sixth generation Eldorado are ones of
legend. It's a true statement of personal luxury with flowing
details. The extra long hood starts with a sharp middle point and
begins a crease line that runs uninterrupted to the doors and
emphasizes the sporty kick-up on the rear quarter panels. And the
super-slick rear end was there to let you know the excess of the
tailfin era was over, but this Cadillac still knew how to pay
homage to its history. Also, while you're checking out the rear,
take a look at the bumper. That chrome king is integrated into the
design better than you can even get on a modern Cadillac. And if
its brightwork you like, the front bumper shines just as
brilliantly. You can see all of these details so well because of
the level of care that has gone into this Caddy. The sheetmetal
looks amazing, and the doors still shut with authority. And on top
of this straight body is the original shade of Astral Blue that has
the kind of gloss to highlight every crease so this Eldorado looks
like a finely pressed suit. The pristine blue vinyl top not only
gives this coupe a very European color scheme, but also it gives
you a preview of the interior.
Inside, you'll love how everything from the wood paneling on the
door to the plushness of the carpets have defied the decades. The
driver's seat has been worn in a bit, but quite frankly, you
probably wish you were this complete as you approach nearly half a
century on this earth. Plus, you get the kind of luxury that made
these Cadillacs so special in 1969, and the kind of options that
you would expect in a brand new car today. This includes power
seats, power windows, power locks, tilt steering wheel, rear
defogger, the original AM/FM stereo, and provisions for automatic
climate control. You sit behind the original Caddy three-spoke
steering wheel and gaze at a clear gauge package. And all the
controls are centered around you, because this is built to be a
personal luxury machine. But on those days when you want to share
the comfort with family and friends, the flat floor of the Eldorado
means it really does offer relaxed seating for up to six total.
The 472 cubic-inch V8 fills the engine bay, because this was the
era when Cadillac was a true master at offering big motors with big
power. And more than just being the original numbers-matching V8,
you can really tell there has been proper care and maintenance over
the years thanks to items like the fresh hoses and belts. Plus,
there has been a great eye to preservation as noted by all the
factory decals still present under the hood. This V8 keeps its
original spirit right down to the Rochester four-barrel carburetor,
which allows the big motor to inhale deeply. Best of all, emissions
regulations had not yet robbed Detroit of horsepower, so you've got
an abundance of muscle to move this luxury machine with ease. The
cruising attitude is heightened by a smooth-shifting three-speed
automatic transmission, power steering, and front disc brakes.
A true classic with the right colors and plenty of luxury. This is
a great turnkey Caddy at an unbeatable price. So you know a deal
like this will be moving soon. Call today!!!
