1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible

Description

There are a few cars that thoroughly epitomize automotive elegance This luxurious 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible easily falls into that category. With only 38,629 actual miles, this fully-loaded two-door classic is almost completely original, a rarity for a 40-year-old car in this day and age. If you're looking for personal luxury with the exhilaration of top-down driving, you've found the right car. So let's see what it's like to ride in style.

You can easily get lost in the depth of the outside appearance of this Caddy. The factory finish is a slick, vibrant green hue known as Cadillac Greenbrier Firemist Metallic. It's a color that acquits itself extremely well to a larger car like this, amply showcasing the automobile's sleek, streamlined body lines. There are no obvious signs of a re-spray and no hard tape lines, so it's believed that this is all original paint, and although not perfect, it shows very well. Of course, the exterior is further punctuated by nice, big stylishly-crafted chrome bumpers and a full complement of peripheral trim, signature features of the Cadillac brand for generations. The vinyl bumper fillers are intact, and not all cracked and broken as is commonplace on many of these cars. The power convertible top is solid white and matches the green finish extremely well. Actually, it would be hard to imagine two colors that work better together. The top has a couple of small tears, but opens and closes with the flick of a switch. The factory Cadillac hubcaps are super clean and enhanced by the prominent whitewalls that adorn a set of nearly-new 15" radials.

Climbing inside, you'll immediately feel yourself enveloped in plush white Sierra grain leather upholstery. These spacious seats are as comfortable as your favorite living room recliner, so just make yourself at home. The interior is in overall good shape except for a little minor wear here and there. The dash pad is in great condition, as is are the controls and the faces of all the gauges and instruments. The interior looks relatively original except for the carpet, which looks to have been replaced. Of course, this baby is loaded with options like A/C, power windows, locks, and seat. She has just about everything you could order back then. Power everything, plus an aftermarket AM/FM radio and CD player stored neatly in the glove box.

This Caddy is powered by a massive 500 cubic inch V8 engine that runs great and doesn't flinch at the notion of carrying this big car down the interstate at cruising speed. This motor has a reputation for reliability and is amazingly responsive upon acceleration. The power plant is backed up by a sturdy three-speed TH 425 transmission that shifts flawlessly. Put this car on a lift and you'll get up close and personal with a meticulously-engineered suspension system that delivers one of the smoothest rides you could ever imagine. With torsion bars up front and a coil spring set-up in back, this car handles like a dream and floats down the highway like you're riding on a cloud. Add four-wheel disc brakes and you have a driving experience that combines safety and comfort.

With American-made convertibles being phased out of production at the time, the 1976 Cadillac Eldorado Convertible was an instant collectible as soon as it rolled off the assembly line. Here's your chance to own one. Call today!
